Dinner

Well I did it! I made dinner everynight but one! I made a roast with carrots and red potatoes tonight that was to die for. I made the roast in the crockpot and it was super easy. We will see how this next week goes.

Dinner at Home :-)

Tonight I made cheese enchilada's. Tomorrow I am thinking of doing spaghetti. Maybe I will try to cook at home each day. :-) I am at least off to a good start!

Eating at Home More Often

Greg and I are going to start eating at home more often. This last week we ate at home 3 times and today will make 4. We had hamburgers, King Ranch Casserole, and last night we had leftovers from dinner out so soup and salad. Greg made PB and J and some soup. Tonight I am doing a pizza and some salad. I want to try to eat and home and eat healthier. If anyone has any great dinner ideas please send them my way. I think I am going to do a roast for tomorrow night.

Kids say the Darnest Things

These are from another teacher.....
My nuts are falling, my nuts are falling....what do you mean sweetie. My nuts are falling Miss Ada. The child meant his nuts were falling out of his pocket. He had acorns in his pocket and they kept falling out.

There is something in my throat. What do you mean sweetie. He hiccupped and thought there was something inside him.

This is from one of my students- Girls are better than boys because they dress pretty and wear makeup!

New Year New Me!

So far 2010 has been alot of ups and downs! Greg and I are working on things. We have decided that we will go to marriage counseling this year. I know I need to work on confidence and self image.

My goals for 2010 are...
1. Cook more at home
2. Lose 5-10 pounds/get in shape
3. Be a better teacher
4. Work on centers for next year
5. Clean house every other week
6. Read a new book once a month
7. Explain how I am feeling
8. Take the Praxis to be certified in LA
9. Study for the GRE
10. Apply to grad school

The surprise was....

We went to a Bowling for Soup concert! They didn't even come on until 11 P.M. and then I didn't get home till about 1:30. I don't quite know how I am functioning right now....

The concert was good.

On a school note...I am tutoring a new little girl and I absoultely love tutoring her! She is a pure joy. She is me as a child and we also have the same name. We are working on multiplication facts and she impresses me day after day.

Getting Ready for the Holidays

Greg is being a Grinch and doesn't want to put out Christmas lights because he says our electricity bill will be too high.

I am enjoying watching The Holiday now with a warm fire burning in the fireplace.
I wish I had more Christmas decorations since I LOVE this time of year however, we leave the day after Christmas so I don't get to enjoy them for too long.

Tonight Greg has a surprise for me. We are going somewhere with another couple who just got engaged. I will update later on what the surprise is.
