But hey, it gets better! And looking on the bright side, I love that it's lighter outside later.
Couple things have been weighing heavily on my mind lately.
#1- being chunky
#2- kids complaining things are hard
#3- kids not being prepared
#4- next year
#1- Alright so I basically have been chunky since birth! A whopping 11 pound 10 ounces baby-- yes! Seriously my mother is a bada$$! So couple weeks ago I decided that I should get my butt in shape. I started a detox, that eliminates caffeine, gluten, sugar, dairy, and basically anything else that has been a delicious part of my daily diet for the last 27 years. Pray for me! But in all seriousness it has been a great week! I've lost 7 pounds and 2 inches!!! Amazeballs! I'm slightly impressed with myself... But I'm just stubborn enough to set my mind on something and not let it go... So I committed and I'm making this detox my b***h! Hahaha (check back at the end of the month-- it's a 28 day detox). I also am training for RunDisney! Oh man!

#2 - It's hard! It's so hard! I can't do this cause it's hard! I don't know how to do it it's hard! Seriously this has become my least favorite statement... Recently my response has been "uh yeah things are hard, if they weren't everyone would do it", my other typical response is "if you don't work hard then you'll never get ahead". Not sure if it's the age or what, but my students constantly say everything is hard. I don't understand how I can explain to them, that high school is literally the easiest thing they'll do for the rest of their lives? I feel like we have created such good test takers, which has hindered kids abilities to critically think and be creative. To be honest, it sucks! But I continue to ask them to do more, try more and be more... If I didn't, I would just be adding to the mediocre standards that they've been held to. Cheers to pushing them to be better!
Push those who are capable of greatness... They'll appreciate eventually...
#3- This is more directed towards my one class of middle school kids but also to high school I suppose.... What the heck is with kids that aren't prepared?! Like oh yup I wrote that syllabus with "materials you must bring daily" for fun! Actually it's like a suggestion, right? Uh no! Bring your junk, be prepared, and stop being a slacker!! Suck it up princess!
#4- Next year... Um what about it? Yup I am keeping my job! Hallelujah thank baby Jesus! It's been overall a great year. I feel like I found my place... My forever school (well as long as they'll tolerate my craziness)... But it has had me thinking about where I live, future junk, whatnot... To move or not to move? I love my house! But should I save a little money and move the 35 miles closer to my job? Future junk? Well that kinda goes with living location because well I'll never meet anyone in this ridonkculous town I live it... Too much of a square I guess... So many options, too many choices...
Seriously my yard is freakin awesome!
