I've been running like crazy this week. Something to do almost every night, and back to work full time. My first day with my students was on Wednesday, and surprisingly, it was a great day. Actually my whole 3 days with the kids this week were great. They are so easy right now. They look at me with admiration, they listen when I ask them to do something, and they get my jokes! I think I may like being a 4th grade teacher. (please remind me I said this by November).I am really trying hard to be organized, and prepared this school year, and so far I am doing a great job. My team members are very helpful too, and that has made the transition between grades a lot easier.
Had an awesome week with jewelry. 3 shows between August 3 and 11, and profited about, or a little over $1,400. THAT IS MORE THAN I MAKE AS A TEACHER IN ONE WEEK (really in 2 weeks) So, wth am I doing? Why not be a full time jewelry lady??? Well because of student loan debt, and insurance benefits... oh, and because I really do love children. I wish I could birth 19 children like the Duggard family, and still have a savings to show for it.Hubby-dearest, is not as liberal or free spirited as I am. He's good at 2.. (vasectomy is in his future...shhhhh). I must say, I agree with Whitney Houston on one thing... I believe that children are our future, if we teach them well, we can let them lead the way. Therefore I would be the best mother/teacher/mentor ever because I know one day that the children I teach (or parent), will eventually be running our country or wiping my butt. In either position, I would like to know that they have been raised well enough to make wise and safe decisions.
I haven't worked out much this week and it's seriously eating away at me. I am 5'10" and currently weight 158.2. I want to be down to 147 like I was when I was 24. However, I know that will take as much work as it did then. I was working out 2 x a day and I ate only 1200 calories. I can't eat only 1200 calories now. I love food too much and I expend too much energy throughout the day. I need just to get better at what I'm putting in my mouth, and work out everyday. Maybe once I get into the routine at school, I can be better at meal prepping and planning, and getting up at 5:00 am to workout.
However, I am secretly hoping to get pregnant soon. Like I hope I don't get my period on the 21. I am so anxious to be a mother for another little blessing again. So those of you reading this, please pray that I don't get AF this month, and that I'll have a late April/Early May 2013 baby (girl would b e awesome!). I am going nuts wanting to test early, but because of the experience I had last month, I will wait till my period is late. That will be difficult because I like knowing everything and being in control but I am going to wait. God has HIS plans and will let me know when it's time for me to accept another one of his gifts.
That is all for now... thanks for reading and I'll be better at updating throughout the week!
You are awesome! I hope this is the month for you. You are tall, mama. Dropping any more weight doesn't seem natural and normal for you. Aim for health, like you have been, and yuou'll do awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you. You are a very supportive and kind friend. Turns out, it's not my month this month. Maybe next month.
