Sunday Meanderings

Happy Sunday!  How was your weekend?!  Mine was fabulous! Continued to heal my body since I have been sick all week. We got lots of cleaning done, errands were run and cars were worked on. We grilled out tonight since it was so nice out.  Not ready to go back to work tomorrow but thankful I'm feeling better with each day. Which brings me to:

Meanderings on...

Summer School...I found out today that I will be teaching summer school in June and July!  I am ecstatic! Considering just 3 months ago I was a TA at a high school, I cannot believe that I have had to opportunity to teach for a month now and was hired on to teach summer school as a teacher! With the new summer job I won't be able to do the Women's Half Marathon that I wanted to do in June but hope to run the Chicago Rock & Roll Half the end of July.  (and well, that gives me an extra month of training too...win-win!)

Parent/Teacher Conferences...I survived my first week of conferences!  I did miss one since I was really sick on Monday but the rest of the week went well.  Its been a great opportunity for me to meet many parents who I wasn't able to meet at the meet and greet when I first started.  It's absolutely exhausting though, working all day and then having conferences in the beginning and end,especially when you're really under the weather!  I still have two left this week along with two IEP meetings.  But I am just loving this job when we're not understaffed!

The Lease...We resigned our lease this week so we'll be here another 12 months.  We both want to be in a different area but the packing and moving just didn't outweigh the need for a new location.  Plus we really like everything about our apartment and it's always greener on the other side...so we stay. Now I'm ready to decorate, decorate!  Mom, get ready for when you're here to help!

My new Uggs...Life just got really good! I got new Uggs from Jason for my birthday.  I've been wearing my other ones for almost 5 years now and lets just say they're really worn!  I finally got the protectant spray in the mail Friday so was able to wear them yesterday.  Never mind that it was almost 60 degrees and everyone else was wearing flip flops...my Uggs were keeping my toes extra warm. ;-0

My birthday dinner...Last night we went to Maggiano's for my birthday dinner since I was too sick last week.  We were supposed to go get sushi but on our way there we passed Maggianos and made a u-turn for there instead.  And now, we have leftovers plus the "take home" dish so basically have dinner for every night this week!  YAY! Thanks Jason for wining and dining me!

On the Bible mini-series...There's a mini-series on the history channel.  We watched night one. It's strange but powerful at the same time.  If you have cable, definitely check it out next week...7/6c. Be there!
