Today was sure a day...and what I mean by that is...it was a whatever kind of day. I woke up feeling tired, I guess I got too much sleep, the day seemed to drag on and on and on. Also, Amber has been working with us through a partnership with the DI and I found out today that the partnership ends a lot sooner than I'd like it to...like next Friday! And then I was just a grumpy wife. And my leg HURTS bad. So I can't run tomorrow (Kohn's orders) boooo. Anyway...happy thoughts now....oh, I did my first new recipe for my 20 new recipes for my 20 in 20! I of course got the recipe from pinterest! It was a buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich! I just had regular cause I don't like buffalo chicken, but Kohn seemed to be a fan! So that made me pretty happy! :) wahooo! So far all the things I've tried off of pinterest have done me good. Oh how I love pinterest! Now, I am going to be thankful...since a good majority of this paragraph was negative. Sorry.
#58...I am thankful that time does keep going. Most people talk about how there is never enough time and they wish it would just stop, and some times I am one of those people, but not today. I was glad that the work day FINALLY ended and I got to go home. And I was glad that the hour at the gym finally ended! And so forth and so on! There are things that I wish would not end, but there are others that I wish would go faster...lotttttts faster.
Okay here I go again being negative. I need to stop. So I'll go to bed now.

Good, Good Life! Here's To You!
Miracle of all miracles...it's 9:20 and we can go to bed. This NEVER happens. We're always doing homework or still at the gym. Hmmm...it's amazing what not procrastinating can do. I got home from work and started dinner the second I walked in. And then the second Kohn walked in it was done and we ate. Then we spent about an hour and a half on homework, and then we headed to the gym for about an hour, plus some. Now we are here. And we can go to bed. So, I decide to get on here instead. Haha. Go figure. No worries though, I'll get this done and then hit the sheets. I need the sleep to make it through the week. For some reason I just feel like it's gonna be a crazy one.
Oh good news...Saturday night I made Kohn stay up super late cleaning with me. I may have already mentioned this? Oh well. But yeah...we stayed up until the apartment was spotless because I was SICK of living in a mess. So yeah, we did that. And now the apartment is clean and that definitely helps me stay motivated to get stuff done when I get home from work. I don't know how it motivates me, but it does. So wahoo. Now...so I can stick to going to bed at a decent time, I will be thankful for the 56th and 57th time.
#56...I am thankful that I have a crafty husband. I'm not a very crafty person myself, but I'm trying to be! I probably need to try harder...but anyway. Sunday turned into craft day! Shannon got some cute St. Patrick's Day blocks and we made a clover and some blocks that are going to say "Lucky". Now my point...Kohn helped me A LOT. I painted, ya know, cause that's simple. But he helped with mod podge, and sanding and he was shaping our wood all nicely for us and he was just great. I think as I seek out my crafty side he will be good to have by my side...but of course he'll always be good to have by my side :) you get the point...
#57...I am thankful that I have it so good. Sometimes I whine and gripe and act like I can't go on...blah blah blah, just being dramatic really, but I have it dang good compared to most. I have a husband who loves me and will always be my best friend and be by my side, I have amazing family all around me, I have a job that I LOVE, I have the incredible Gospel, and so much more amazing things! A really fantastic person I know was telling me today that sometimes they just want to give up, and they just want to throw in the towel. This person definitely has more reason than I do to ever think those thoughts...but the important thing is that she doesn't, she doesn't quit. She keeps pushing through every day. She makes a great friend and a wonderful single mother to her three young kids. I get to have some great conversations with her every day, and it makes me feel good that she trusts me enough to talk to me about her tough times right now. Her name is Amber, I work with her at day care, and I am so glad I met her. Heavenly Father definitely had lessons for me to learn from her. So I am also thankful for her. She's got some lucky little chickies to have a mom like her!
Alright, off my soap box now and into my warm bed! :)

24 to 31!
Happy Saturday evening to everyone! The weekend is already going way too fast! Bah. Oh well, I enjoy my job so I don't have to worry about it too much! :) thank goodness for that! So today has been a pretty good day, I feel like we've gotten a lot accomplished, but then other times I don't. I think it's because homework consumes my life. Dummmmmbbbb. Oh well. As I've mentioned over and over, just about a month left! Okay. So. I still have lots to do. So let me be thankful real quick.
#55...I am thankful for conflict in my class that is supposed to be on March 24th! So, I have a CDA class that is supposed to be the 17th and 24th of March. Well...Kohn's birthday is March 23rd, and without thinking I've been planning this great weekend in the Provo area to go to the Festival of Colors on the 24th! Well...yesterday I was checking my e-mail and there was one asking if we could change the 24th to the 31st because the teacher had a family thing that conflicted with having class that day! So....hallelujah! Good thing, because I wasn't thinking at all and had totally spaced it! Uh...did any of that just make sense at all?! I hope so! Haha! Just know, it's a good thing!
So can I just say how excited I am to get my CDA?! It will be sooooooo awesome! I will be done with any kind of schooling! And I'm just 20! I realize I didn't do as much schooling as most, but I am doing what I want to do with my future. And let me just tell you, day care providers make bank! Mmmhmmm. But I'm really only going to have it to fall back on if something ever happens. I'll always work in day cares, but never my own, because we'll be all over and not settled somewhere. And when I would be able to open my own it will be when Kohn is a rich physical therapist! And well...I just wanna be home with MY kiddies. So, yes, the day care is just something to fall back on. I am really thankful that I'll have the training I'll have. Cause then when we move away for graduate school I HOPEFULLY shouldn't have too hard of a time finding a job. But that's a ways away...so for now. I am still at Discovery Depot!
My CDA classes aren't really like a college class either! It is just 10 hours for each class, and they are like workshops! You go in and talk and learn and all that stuff! But no homework, and none of that yucky stuff! Not even any tests or quizzes! Just being trained, mainly! And like I said, I only have to do two classes plus CPR. Because of my lovely Child Development and Parenting classes that will count for 90 hours! Wahooooooo!
Well now I just feel like I am rambling. So. I'll be done and get to all that stuff that I still need to do.

I'm so tired I can't come up with anything good!
Slacking...again. But only three behind. So I'll get those taken care of real nice and quick! Can I first just say that I am SO sick of school! Almost just one month left! And then I can finally focus on preschool like I'd like to! And I can finally get my apartment looking decent more than just on the weekends. It will be grand to not have to worry about homework so much anymore!
I am pooped. Today I swear I did not rest for longer than 1 second. When we headed to nap today it was like heading to a circus. It's a good thing those kids are cute when they finally fall asleep or I'd forever hold grudges against them ;) Haha any-who. Thankfulness comes now.
#52...I am thankful for a nice warm bed to crawl into at the end of a long, hard day. By the time I hit the sheets I am out. I am so drained by the end of each day that my bed has my name written all over it. And it is fantastic. I wish I could stay in it longer than I get to.
#53...I am thankful for heaters that work in cars. You see, mine isn't such a great heater. I hate my heater. So I like heaters that work and make me warm while I'm driving. In my car, I freeze the whole time.
#54...I am thankful that I get to sleep in tomorrow morning! Wahoo!! It is so over due! Kohn better not wake me up like he always does ;) haha but we both are so tired that I think even he might sleep in too! Weekends save my life.
I'm afraid this weekend is going to go by way too fast, like most do! So enjoy it while you can, my friends! Enjoy it while you can...

Pooped
I guess I was not ready for work today...my weekend may have been too long. By the end of the day, I was pooped...to say the least. I didn't want to cook. So we went to Costa Vida. We really gotta be better about eating out! Aye aye aye! So...Biggest Loser will be on soon. I'm hoping it will be good motivation to help me be ready for the gym at 8! I really just want to sleep.
Oh gol! Today at work...the kiddies were all just a little bit emotional. More than a little bit actually. Oy. So...we were watching a movie and two kids that should not be by each other were squished together on the couch. So she hit him, and he got mad. So I told her to come sit by me. So as she was getting down off of the couch he took his foot, that still had his shoe on it, and nailed her in the face...will they ever learn? Probably not. I'm just glad that I never got kicked in the face...
I shall be thankful now.
#51...I am thankful that my husband doesn't expect me to cook every night! That would be sad if he did. Because I would fail miserably...oh so miserably! It's probably because he's a guy and he just wants food no matter what. I also love it when he decides to pitch in every once in a while to cook the meal. Funny story...when I got home from work today I kept saying that I didn't want to cook...and I was meaning to hint to him that he should cook tonight. But instead he automatically assumes that I am saying let's eat out. Whatever. Haha. My food was delish!
I hope I get good sleep tonight...I hope I'm not pooped tomorrow. I hope the kids aren't quite so emotional tomorrow. I hope a lot of things. Now let's see if they happen!

Happy Day Off!
So not too far behind...but it's all for a good cause! That good cause=FABULOUS birthday weekend! I'm sure you've seen the description on Facebook, so there is no need for me to re-tell! But it was AWESOME! How am I supposed to top that birthday for him next month?! Eh...I'll figure something out! ;) So. Today is my day off of work because of President's Day! :) Oh lovely. I am getting paid for this! :) But of course, it is a busy day. But at least I am getting homework and such done! And we have a pretty fun week of preschool planned so it'll be grand! :) Well now...let's see. Kohn will be home for lunch any minute so let's be thankful now.
#48...I am thankful for a fantastic recipe binder I got at a bridal shower from my sister-in-law, Shannnon! I have used it quite a lot of times and I recently did a fantastic treat from it! German Chocolate Brownies! I didn't try them myself but everyone who tried them at the baby shower really liked them. So....yay! :)
#49...I am thankful for pinterest. Okay that sounds weird huh? Well. Because of pinterest I have found some yummy dinner recipes as well! The other night I made a fantastic weight watchers meal that I found on there! Kohn loved it, I loved it! And it was healthy! Definitely one we'll do again! And I'm definitely going to start trying all those recipes I have pinned! :)
#50...I am thankful for days off! Yes, I said I am busy. But I still get to relax in a way. Like for instance, right now I am taking a small break and posting on here. There ya go. I'll probably get back to homework soon, but then I have to go out and get some stuff for preschool and then we're going to Soda tonight for the basketball game! So good thing it is a day off, cause I get to do all this great stuff on this lovely day! :)
Well...that was fun. Kohn really should be home soon. So now that I'm caught up. I'm outta here!

Your Love Is My Drug ♥
Hey so far so good, I am not behind! But hey, it's only been one day since I said that. We'll see how well this works out. And mainly I think I am only writing because I am trying to avoid my yucky midterm test! Oh bother! Any-who...today was a GOOD day! I sure loved it! Yes I did. I missed the last 1 1/5 days of work and I sure missed my kiddo's! We had a grand ol' time today! We went to the park. And let me tell you what. It was FUN. I started doing ten million underdogs and then little Rachey Roo wanted me to go down a slide with her. So I did. And then she wanted me to climb the wall with her. So I did. And when I got to the top I needed to get down. So I took the nearest slide. And the most dangerous slide for sure! That thing was intense. I think I'll take Kohn to it to enjoy a good ride on it! ;) You can't keep your head up because you go so fast and are at such an awkward angle! And then you get to the bottom and your feet automatically hit the ground. So normally, normal people stand up when that happens. Well I went to do this, and wouldn't ya know...there was ice right under my feet. Yeah, I was only standing for about .5 seconds and then BAM I fell on my butt! Andria and Amber (the lovely ladies I work with) thought it was pretty fantastic. And so did the kids....aye, aye, aye. But it really was a good laugh! Then we found this cool balance type toy at the playground and the three teachers owned that thing! Sometimes we would kick kids off because we wanted to bounce a lot and make the other fall off. Yeah...we're cool. It felt good to act like a kid again though! Oh gosh, today really was great! :)
Okay, let us be thankful!
#47...I am ever so thankful for antibiotics! Yes, yes I is! I've been on them for about 48 hours now and you can sure bet I don't remember feeling this good, since I was sick for so long! My body is finally not weak, and I am not coughing every second of my life! Oh drugs... :) and hey, I haven't had to blow my nose once today! Wahoo! And I'm glad antibiotics make you not contagious after 24 hours...because now my husband will kiss me. He wouldn't kiss me until the 24 hours had come and gone. Because he doesn't want bronchitis. Go figure.
But I am so glad I am feeling better because tomorrow is going to be a crazy, fun day! We are waking up to go the the gym at 7, then taking a trip to the bank, and then from there we'll hit the showers! Then on the long journey to Weston we go! Baby shower, for Angela! Which I am making a delicious dessert for! And getting there early to help my mother out! Then...off to Salt Lake for my birthday we go! I almost forgot tomorrow was my birthday! I'll be 20 years young. I will no longer be a teenager as soon as it is 7:45 tomorrow morning! ;) Kohn tells me otherwise. It'll be midnight. But whatever. I was born at 7:45 in the a.m.! So that is that.
I sure do love my life! I love that I married the man of my dreams, I love that I graduate in April, I love that I am LDS, I love that I have amazing family on all sides! I love that I work with my best friend from high school! I love that the kids love me and miss me when I'm gone and ask about me! I love that the parents were concerned about me being sick! Things are just good. Oh and most importantly, I love that my apartment is clean right now! Okay the most important thing is that I love Kohn. But yeah! :) Maybe I should do dishes though. Because those are not clean. Or maybe I should stop putting my test off....merrrrr. Okay fine. Everybody have a fabulous weekend! Oh 3 day weekend! Yesssss, thank you President's Day! Anyways...test time.
Okay, let us be thankful!

Sick of being sick!
Okay seriously...this is the last time that I fall behind. I hope. Haha. So here it goes. 42-46! Except, here's a little update for now. Valentine's Day was lovely, we went to Bluebird, and then we headed to Sam's Club. And bought a T.V. Haha soooo romantic of us eh? ;) but really. It was fun being together no matter what though, and everywhere else in the world was packed! Oh, and I have the sweetest husband ever! He had ordered some roses to be sent to me at work, but they never came. He was kinda upset about it so he called the people to see what was going on. So they ended up just bringing it to me at home! It was sweet either way! I love him so much!
So, I've been sick for about 2.5 weeks and instead of getting better I was just getting worse! So one of the mom's at day care works at the Women Center so she squeezed me into the schedule yesterday so I could figure this out! So I went in and lucky me, I have bronchitis! Blah. So I got some antibiotics and then chilled at home all day, all by myself. Kohn didn't get home from work until midnight and then had to be back to work at 7 this morning! My poor baby! He's such a hard worker! But now I am stuck at home again, because my antibiotics are making me sick! UGH! I can't catch a break. Saturday is my birthday and I've got lots of plans so I better be better! First thing is a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Angela! And then Kohn and I are headed to Salt Lake for my birthday! He's got good plans I guess! So I want to feel good so I can enjoy it to the fullest! So I'll just sit here and wait, I suppose! So this means I can work on homework today, should be a good thing I guess! ;) haha...I'll do it. Eventually. And maybe some housework. We'll see!
Anyways....here's my thankfuls!
#42...I am thankful that I can have fun with my husband no matter what! The other day I just noticed how much we were giggling and just being goofy with each other and I love it! We are so comfortable with each other! It doesn't matter where we are or who we're with, we always have a good time together! We should probably work on that though, because it happens during sacrament meeting too! Haha :) at least people know we're in love, right? ;)
#43...I am thankful that my husband is always there to help me out! The other night I was making lots of Valentine's treats! I was making homemade oreo cookies for Kohn to take to work, and I was making heart shaped rice krispy treats for the kiddies at work! He helped me cut them all out and helped me wrap them all in plastic wrap! He is amazing and I love him so much!
#44...I am thankful for our parents who let us use their Sam's Club cards! For a loooong time I carried my mom's in my wallet, and we definitely used it! And then Kohn's dad just let us take his because he never uses it! Wahooooo! It's pretty awesome, and it got us a new T.V.
#45...I am thankful for connections! Like I said, one of the kid's moms works at the Women Center and squeezed me in! I'm betting that wouldn't have happened if I would've just called! Because they are normally pretty packed! So I am soooo happy about that!
#46...I am thankful for sleep. I had a rough time falling asleep last night while I was waiting for Kohn to get home. I finally was able to fall asleep when he got home around midnight. So then I slept til about 8:30 this morning, so I still got my amount of sleep that I needed! And I feel a little better as far as my coughing goes, but now I'm just sick because of those antibiotics, as I mentioned! So I will probably just take a nap today, and it'll be nice. Sleep has been lacking lately, so it's great to catch up on it!
Well now I am all caught up on not just sleep, but blogging! Thank goodness! I really gotta work on not letting that happen again! Haha we'll see how that goes! This week is midterms so I am half way there to graduation! Wahooooooo! Everyone have a great Thursday!
So, I've been sick for about 2.5 weeks and instead of getting better I was just getting worse! So one of the mom's at day care works at the Women Center so she squeezed me into the schedule yesterday so I could figure this out! So I went in and lucky me, I have bronchitis! Blah. So I got some antibiotics and then chilled at home all day, all by myself. Kohn didn't get home from work until midnight and then had to be back to work at 7 this morning! My poor baby! He's such a hard worker! But now I am stuck at home again, because my antibiotics are making me sick! UGH! I can't catch a break. Saturday is my birthday and I've got lots of plans so I better be better! First thing is a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Angela! And then Kohn and I are headed to Salt Lake for my birthday! He's got good plans I guess! So I want to feel good so I can enjoy it to the fullest! So I'll just sit here and wait, I suppose! So this means I can work on homework today, should be a good thing I guess! ;) haha...I'll do it. Eventually. And maybe some housework. We'll see!
Anyways....here's my thankfuls!
#42...I am thankful that I can have fun with my husband no matter what! The other day I just noticed how much we were giggling and just being goofy with each other and I love it! We are so comfortable with each other! It doesn't matter where we are or who we're with, we always have a good time together! We should probably work on that though, because it happens during sacrament meeting too! Haha :) at least people know we're in love, right? ;)
#43...I am thankful that my husband is always there to help me out! The other night I was making lots of Valentine's treats! I was making homemade oreo cookies for Kohn to take to work, and I was making heart shaped rice krispy treats for the kiddies at work! He helped me cut them all out and helped me wrap them all in plastic wrap! He is amazing and I love him so much!
#44...I am thankful for our parents who let us use their Sam's Club cards! For a loooong time I carried my mom's in my wallet, and we definitely used it! And then Kohn's dad just let us take his because he never uses it! Wahooooo! It's pretty awesome, and it got us a new T.V.
#45...I am thankful for connections! Like I said, one of the kid's moms works at the Women Center and squeezed me in! I'm betting that wouldn't have happened if I would've just called! Because they are normally pretty packed! So I am soooo happy about that!
#46...I am thankful for sleep. I had a rough time falling asleep last night while I was waiting for Kohn to get home. I finally was able to fall asleep when he got home around midnight. So then I slept til about 8:30 this morning, so I still got my amount of sleep that I needed! And I feel a little better as far as my coughing goes, but now I'm just sick because of those antibiotics, as I mentioned! So I will probably just take a nap today, and it'll be nice. Sleep has been lacking lately, so it's great to catch up on it!
Well now I am all caught up on not just sleep, but blogging! Thank goodness! I really gotta work on not letting that happen again! Haha we'll see how that goes! This week is midterms so I am half way there to graduation! Wahooooooo! Everyone have a great Thursday!

Catching Up! 37-41!
I am soooo behind. And so tired. And sooooo sick of being sick! Bah. So I am just going to catch up for the past WEEK. So here it goes. 37-41!
#37...I am thankful for smart people! Whoever figured out how to make treadmills and ellipticals and all those fancy things is awesome and I think they are just great! And I really am thankful for them, because they make it a lot easier to live a healthy, happy life! :)
#38...I am thankful for laughter. I spent a lot of Wednesday laughing, because I have some goofy friends! I am glad that I am happy enough in my life to just laugh all the time! I am glad that I have a personality where I can do that and not take offense all the time and etc, etc. You get it! I just love to laugh!
#39...I am thankful for every Thursday of the week right now! Why? Because Thursday is the only night that I don't have to worry about homework! Though I probably should do homework on Thursday so I don't spend all of Saturday doing it! Haha oh well...maybe one day my brain will REALLY figure that one out!
#40...I am thankful for chick flicks that make me happy! Seriously, they sure should give EVERYONE hope for a happy love story! Last night we went and saw "The Vow" and it was AWESOME! It is a movie where you will laugh, and cry, and then laugh some more! I would go see it again tonight if we didn't already have plans! It was great and I want to buy it!
#41...I am thankful that we don't have to work weekends. Well most of the time...today has been a poopy Saturday. Because Kohn DID have to work. He had to work from 7-11 and then left at 11:45 to go ref until 3. And then I got home around 4:30, I was in Weston visiting my family and going to a bridal shower. So yeah...we've really only seen each other for about an hour or so today, and it has been spent doing homework. Oy, that is why I do need to do homework on Thursday nights! But now we have the night together so we're going to go try out GIA's. Hope it's good or I'm just going to have to eat a whole other meal!
Well sorry this is lame...but I needed to catch up so I didn't have to do more than I already did. I'll be better. But I've just been up to homework and work. Haha nothing new here! If anything exciting happens I'll be sure to post. Until then...it's back to my glamorous life of poopy diapers and poopy homework!

Gold's Gym Winners
Happy Monday...I guess as happy as a Monday can be right? But it really was a pretty great Monday! Work went well...as well as it can ;) and I got a pretty awesome phone call! From Gold's Gym...so last month Kohn and I went to Twizlberry and entered some contest. I honestly wasn't too sure what I was trying to win, but I did it anyway. Well...both names that got drew...were ours! Kohn and Haley! So they called me, the wife, and told me we won! We get an hour of free training, we get to use the gym for a night, free shirts, and we can each do a class...then they'll talk to us about getting a membership. Ha too bad we just signed up for a membership at Planet Fitness on Saturday! But it's okay, because Planet Fitness is cheaper. So it'll just be fun to get that free stuff. So we'll be doing that next Monday night! Wahoo! Anyway...I am going to get some homework done so we can head to the gym and get some groceries. So here is my thankfulness....
#37...I am thankful for kids that obey. Okay so we struggled today for some reason. So no one would listen to me. It's probably because they're rebelling since I'm the new head teacher. Whatever. I just sure love those kids that listen. There are some that are getting better, some that will never get better...what can ya do? I hope my kids listen...
That's all I have to say today. Homework time.

20 in 20
Happy Sunday everyone! Kohn and I have been married for 3 months! :) best 3 months ever?? I think so! It's been a lovely day but the weekend has gone by WAY too fast! Tragic. Well I am pretty excited about something that I have got going on here. I turn 20 on the 18th of this month. So...I made a "20 in 20" list. What is that? It is a list of 20 things I am going to do in 20th year! :) haha yeah, I thought it should be something fun. So here is my list that I just finished making...
1. Reach 110
2. Run every bit of each of my leg's in Epic
3. Go sky diving
4. Get my CDA and level 1
5. Sew something
6. Grow hair past shoulders...I have never had long hair!
7. Fill a photo album (this is a big one for me...believe it or not)
8. Sign up for a marathon
9. Do a bike race
10. Learn how to crochet
11. "Clean the sink" at Angie's
12. Try 20 new recipes
13. Stay binge-free
14. Do "family photos" with my hubby
15. Run 5 different 5k's
16. Read 10 new books
17. Go for a late night run
18. Go horseback riding
19. Learn how to play piano
20. Try wakeboarding
So I just chose simple things since I only have a year to accomplish them all! So there ya go! ;)
Thankful #36...I am thankful that my sweet husband let me sleep this morning even after he woke up. He normally wakes me up with him, but he knew I wasn't feeling good so he crawled out of bed without bugging me! ;) haha but I really am thankful for it because...I slept through the mouse! Yeah...he was sitting in the front room doing some homework and he saw a mouse! He set a mouse trap up and caught it within like 10 minutes...smart mouse eh? I would've been freaking out! But that aside...it really was great to sleep this morning. I needed it. Bad. So yeah. It was grand.
I am wrapping this up because I am definitely heading to bed soon. To get more sleep. Still can't believe the weekend is over though. Bummmmmmmer. Everybody have a good week!

Parental Guidance
Wow, it has been a craaaaazy Saturday! So much for a weekend eh? Oh well, I got to spend it with my lover! So that makes it worth it. Plus, I didn't do makeup, or my hair for that matter. So it was still at least somewhat lazy. Now we are just sitting at home watching "Biggest Loser" and slurping some Jamba Juice! So I'm going to make this a quick one and get back to my show!
#35...I am thankful for my parents! This week in my parenting class we were able to reflect on what kind of parenting style our parents have. And I am just glad that I was lucky enough to be born into their family! I realized that although they didn't always let me do what I want, they still did a great job! Haha the fact that they didn't always let me do what I wanted shows that they did a great job! My parents just make me happy!
Tonight Kohn and I decided we wanted to do a date night with our parents some time. We wanna go to dinner and bowling! So watch out Rick, Margie, Jean, and Don! ;)

Advice: Check Your Email, Always.
Oh HAPPY WEEKEND! Love, love, love! Homework is done (for the night) and now we're just getting ready to head out to go see "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close"! And I am soooooo excited! We ate dinner at home tonight, which was a big thing for us! We have this bad "obsession" with going out to eat on the weekends! Cause we've just had a long week and we don't want to cook and we should "reward" ourselves and blah blah blah. But not tonight. We cooked a delicious dinner. BLT Salad, yum yum yum! It seriously is so good! Except we always minus the "T"! Who likes tomatoes? Yuck. So now we're going to go watch a movie...and probably get some snack there...haha so much for being good. But hey, at least we didn't get a snack AND eat out, right? ;) okay, let us be thankful.
#34...I am thankful that I decided to check my school email tonight. Yeah, I logged in and I had a bunch of random girls sending me emails that said attached was a evaluation form. Well, good thing they look at notes from our professor and stuff, because we were supposed to email everyone in our group a group evaluation for the last 4 weeks in discussions we do. Sweet. Don't worry, I got it done around 7, so we're good to go! ;) But really...I am glad I checked it, because I don't normally check it too frequently. Cause it's normally pointless stuff, or at least things I find pointless.
Anywho...so ummm...just so you all know, EPIC is legit. The team is all registered and we're getting monies and sizes and all that good stuff. No turning back now....oh boy, what am I thinking?!?!?! I REALLY NEED TO START TRAINING. Or at least pre-training, as Haley Larson says! Haha. Seriously though. Something needs to change. Oh like what? Don't do homework when I get back from work? Or don't go to work? Or don't clean my apartment (though it isn't looking to pretty as of lately), or don't cook for my husband? Or hey, don't sleep? Cause that would be fabulous and I'd sure love the kiddos at work........oh why is time so short?! When I was little there was always so much time, and now 24 hours just isn't enough! Bah! Oh well, it will all work out, and when I'm graduated in April, I'll be able to come home from work and work out! While Kohn does homework! hahahaha! But I really can see things just calming down for me after I graduate. And it will be pure bliss!
Oh I don't have a voice, the kids were loving that today...haha. "What was that Miss Haley? I didn't hear you tell me not to throw that block at his head"....welcome to my life.

Motivation? Where are you?
#33...I suppose I will be thankful this day is just about over.
I woke up with an uber soar throat, a stuffy nose, and a cloudy head. And still was a trooper and went to work with a bunch of precious children. Let's face it, I wasn't in the best of moods, and I sure wasn't where I wanted to be. Cause where I wanted to be was home in big sweats in my big bed. Probably with a big bowl of chicken noodle soup goodness. But no. I was wiping boogery faces, yucky bums, and playing peacemaker...or at least attempting to. I was chasing after kids, I was cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I was putting kids to sleep that just didn't want to sleep, I was pulling odd objects out of babies mouths and was building some pretty sweet train tracks. I was freezing and coughing and having to go to the bathroom a lot because I drink a lot of water...I was having a fabulous day to say the least.
I came home, made delicious dinner, and then bummed around. Eventually decided to work out and now here I am. I really need to find at least an ounce of energy and motivation to get through tomorrow. And Saturday. Because homework is a never ending battle. Well...I suppose it will end the first week in April :) but still...I need motivation! For about everything in my life right now! haha....oh how, how, how do I find it??!?!? Maybe a good nights sleep will do the trick. Ha. It will just leave me wanting more.
I need to figure something out, and fast.

Cleanliness is Happiness
Today....was a good day! For the most part. Til I so fantastically screwed it up. But that is no one's fault but my own...so all in all, it was a good day! As mentioned before, it was my first day REALLY on the job! Let's just say as I headed to work this morning I had my doubts about the day. With all the changes the kids have gone through in the past few months they sure have figured out how to rebel. And this is a big change so that is exactly what I thought would happen. Well let me just tell you what! Preschool was AWESOME today! The kids listened super good and we had lots of fun! I think it probably had a lot to do with the fact that we started off with a wiggle song, but seriously...I was so happy! I didn't expect it to go so well, but hey, that's okay! ;) Well I don't have much else to say cause all I've really done is homework tonight so let's get onto being thankful...
#32...I am oh so thankful for a clean apartment...which is the exact opposite of what mine is tonight! And has been all week....so I was just thinking of how much I miss having a clean place to live. Maybe I'll clean it tomorrow...my homework load isn't too terribly bad tomorrow night. We'll see how I feel after a beautiful day of work. Which I desperately hope it is another beautiful day!
Oh I really want a clean apartment, but don't have the energy to clean it right now! And really should hit the sheets so that maybe I can have the energy tomorrow! Oh well, I'll go dream of a clean apartment!
