E is for Enough...

Alright, enough is enough...my sister is right. I have decided that I am the official world's worst blogger...where's the bloggie for that one!?!?!
Since I have left you all out there in the world without me for a while now, I have decided to update you on what's going on in my life...
1. We are still in the middle of 10,000,000 little house projects in our new home...while we are living in the house and are even having people over (ok, ok...just family so far...) we still have tons and TONS of things to finish, but I do promise that I will finally post pictures very soon
2. I have also been overwhelmed with getting my students ready for our statewide standardized tests. There is a whole other post I would like to write about how unfair I think "high stakes tests" are, but that is for another time and place. My past 3 months have involved "cramming" for this test, I haven't felt like a teacher in FOREVER because we are so busy cramming and I don't really feel like we are learning...oh well, there I go again with that other post.
3. I am exactly T minus 10 days until I am camping with my brother and SIL...Last Memorial Day was my first camping trip and, contrary to popular belief...I LOVED IT!!! I can't wait to go back and I really, really, really love spending time with Nicholas and Jessica...and of course Erin and Matt as well...as well as 1,000 of their other friends!!! We will be headed out over Memorial Day weekend and I can't even begin to explain just how much I need this trip!!!
4. I am exactly T minus 30 days until my school year is over! I am excited, but I am super sad! These girls are my first class and I HATE to have to see some of them move on to middle school, but I know most of them are ready to get out...
5. I am not counting down the exact days until the beach, but it is getting closer...this is proving to be both good and bad. I can't wait to go to the beach, play in the ocean, feel the sand, just RELAX-- but the weight loss plan hasn't been going so well lately. I have been stuck at the same weight for about 8 weeks now and it is driving me crazy...I really need to step it up in the next couple days.
6. While at the beach, husband and I will celebrate our first year of marriage! I can't believe our very first year is coming to an end, it has certainly flown by!
7. In order to prepare for the beach...meaning: in order to not have my butt burned off the first week of the beach, I have started tanning in a tanning bed here in town. Spare me the drama, I KNOW they are terrible, I KNOW I should never, ever, under no circumstances lay in a tanning bed, but lets get real...I just look so much better with a lil color on my body!!! I have only been once and I can already feel my skin burning away...maybe I won't lay so long next time. . .
8. I have started eating salads....Yes-sir-ee-bob...you heard it hear first. I have started eating salads! The "no thank you, I do not eat anything green or healthy" stage is beginning to give way and husband could not be happier. He, along with every member of my family before finally giving up on me, have been trying to get me to try new things for as long as I can remember. For me, it was always a texture thing, but I am really getting into salads now! Of course they still have some sort of meat in them and some form of cheese and of course, full-calorie ranch dressing, but I'm trying. Stop judging me-- I have to take baby steps.
9. I have decided to stay at the same job next year...It's not that I was every really considering a move, but the thought did cross my mind. My job is hard, our school is hard to work at, but at the end of the day, I love our schedule and I love my girls, so I could never leave them...not yet at least.
10. I am not sure if I really have anything else to write about, but I thought it was a good idea to wrap this post up at 10...hmmm...maybe 10 lbs. I would love, love, LOVE to lose 1o more lbs before summer got into full swing...that would make my weight loss grand total right around 25 lbs and I would just really enjoy that! I guess I better get going on that goal!!!
Well folks, that is it in a nutshell...what has been happening for the past, well, however long it has been since my last post. Now sister, sister-in-law, sister's sister-in-law, mom, dad, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law's mama will know what is going on in my life...It sure is nice to have abut 7 readers...maybe one day I will up my game...aaaaahh, one day. . .
