Catching Up!

You'd never know by the amount of posts that I have put up lately (haha!) that I have been swamped!

I love school. That's probably why after I had a 5 year break, I went back. I love English! Again...that's probably why I'm working on getting my license to teach High School English! I LOVE IT!

However, I don't love paperwork. Ok...I'm lying. I do love it! I have had so much of it lately that I'm not really enthused about it right now. Anyways, I'm starting to be able to see the bottom of the pile on my desk. So...I should get back to normal (however I define that) soon.

School is almost over for the semester. I have completed my observations. All I have left are 3 big assignments. Two of which I need to be working on now, but I'd rather blog. lol

Last week, I even wrote out a blog to post, while I was observing in Mount Pleasant. However, I never got around to it, and now....well... it's old news.....even to me! :)

Right now, there are just a few updates.

I have had to ask the Girl Scout parents to change meetings to Thursdays because my ONLY class next semester is going to meet on Monday nights. ALL the parents agreed, and some of them rearranged other things just so the girls could stay in the troop!

Dad is doing well. He went to the surgeon a couple weeks ago and he has to go back on Dec. 1st or 2nd. However, none of us really think that the doctor is going to send him back to work at that time. He hasn't even been released to drive yet. AND....he drives a truck for a living. I don't see the doctor letting him go back before he lets Dad drive for a couple of days/weeks at home first. Anyways, I think it would be great for Dad to be home through Christmas. He works too hard anyways. He needs the "rest". Right now though, Dad is going crazy being at home all day by himself with nothing to do. He can't bend and lift so he can't do anything. He plays computer games and watches TV--oh yeah! he sleeps too! :)

I have my student teaching in the Spring (starting in January). I should know my placement in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping for somewhere close to home, but I'll take what UNCC gives me. I'm going to believe that GOD has a plan for where I'm supposed to go! (If God wants to just slide me into a job after I finish my student teaching, that would be great too!)

And TODAY is my Mom's birthday! So....HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY! :)


WOW! I think I have updated everything....and I did it in less than an hour. :)


Until next time........

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
