The World According to Leslie

A friend of mine, who lives in Bloggerville--in my computer, gave me an award! I was pretty shocked when I checked my comments and found out that I had been given this award! So check out my friend, Tinika, at her blog . The rules for this blog award are simple: 1. Put the logo on your post or blog. 2. Nominate at least 10 blogs that show great attitude or gratitude. 3. Link your nominees within your post. 4. Let the nominees know they have received the award by leaving a comment on their blog. 5.

*Deep Breath In* So I have sort of gotten things back in line. I'm caught up on my homework for my UNCC online class. I am almost caught up on my homework for my RCCC online class. I am desperately trying to catch up on my homework for my UNCC face-to-face class. I have to finish the book I started (was supposed to read for last week) and I have to read the book that was assigned for this week. Then next week, I have two books assigned. I haven't looked at those yet, so I'm hoping they are short books! However, today Chasity has baseball practice, so I might get some reading done there....while she's practicing! It's kind of nice to start catching up. I have less than 8 weeks left before I am DONE for the semester! I'm excited! Until next time........

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama . You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. Ok....so let's get this show on the road! As you may (or may not) know, I have been doing Weight Watchers since January. I am loving it. I have lost almost 40 lbs. I have hit my initial "goal weight" that WW set for me! So...it would NOT have been me who went through McDonald's today and got a vanilla milkshake! I would never try to sabotage myself like that! It was not me who went shopping for black pants yesterday. Of course, after finding the black pants, I would NEVER pick out a jacket and skirt to wear for Easter Sunday. I wouldn't find three adorable shirts that I love the colors of....all 3 shirts would not be exactly matching (EXCEPT for the color) either! I wouldn't buy three shirts that are exactly the same...just in different colors! Chasity had her first coach's pitc...

There are a few things I guess I need to update! 1. Yesterday I weighed in. I lost 5 lbs. I guess that's the 5 lbs I gained last week, so I guess I'm just now at my first Weight Watchers "goal weight". Now I'm at 380 again! That's pretty good! 2. We are having a big thing at church on Sunday night. So I have to sing and sign many of the songs! I'm looking forward to it. It should be fun! That's why I had to have black pants from shopping yesterday! 3. I am working on planning a lesson for an English class that I have to teach. I will be teaching the class this Friday. This morning, I worked with the teacher who is going to let me have her class for a day and we planned most of the lesson! So all I have to do is write it up. 4. The teacher I am working with for the lesson plan is the head of the English Department at that High School. She told me today that they are probably going to be looking for English teachers next year. Since I al...

Sometimes I feel like I'm so far behind that I'll never catch up. For example: Monday night I had a 3 page paper due at 11:30pm. I finished it at 11:28pm and tried to post it to the online forum (also know as UNCC's Blackboard system). The system kept giving me an error message and I finally got it posted at 11:31pm. Now "technically" my paper is LATE! On top of that, I had 4 discussion board posts that I was supposed to do. Since I finished my paper and my child was screaming for me, I went downstairs and opted to leave those until yesterday. Yesterday I realized that I had not done all the reading required for the answers. So FIRST I had to read! Then I had to post. So....I got 3 of the 4 posts completed. I still have work to do for the 4th one...but...here's the kicker....It's WEDNESDAY already! I should have finished this a long time ago! Let's see what else I have going on.... oh yeah...my 1/2 semester class starts online with...

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama . You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. Although it is now Tuesday, I'm sure everyone knows that I forgot my Not Me Monday! on Monday! So, I can't even deny that! Unfortunately.... However...I have a few things that I would like to get off my chest! First, it was not me who threatened, yes...THREATENED, to go to the assisted living center where my mom's mother is living to break some people. I would never say that I would jerk a knot in their tails if they don't straighten up. I never said I'd make them cry if they don't start taking care of my Grandma! I promise I never once told my mom that I would start getting people fired if they didn't watch out up there. Of course, I will take credit for being totally aggrivated that they aren't taking really good care of Gma! Second, it was not me who smiled when I was informed that a l...

So.... Last week, I busted! I was stressed out... and I really got to a place where I didn't care about what I ate. I just wanted food! So I gained 5 lbs last week. Yes, I know that's a lot to gain in a week, but...I did it! It's ok though. I can lose it this week...if not...maybe in a couple of weeks, but I'll lose it again. I probably would have paid more attention if I had not been so stressed out about other stuff. I mean...seriously....I "lost" 34 boxes of girl scout cookies only to find out that I don't know my 6's from my 9's! YES! I found them, but I was a little stressed out for most of the week. When I get stressed, I eat and I cry. Shoot! Sometimes I cry WHILE I eat, but either way, I cry and eat and eat and cry! Chasity and I are peeling. Now that we are over the burning part of the sunburn, we are peeling. When she got burnt, her hair was braided in two braids and parted down the middle (thanks to my sister)!! So she had...
