Manic Monday

Today went REALLY fast at school. The vocab thing was introduced today, and there was little complaining, but it took them the ENTIRE 50 minute bell to define 10 words with a dictionary in front of them... And this was with little disruption/talking/interruptions. It was a little disheartening, but exactly the reason they are doing this.

Around lunchtime, I got a message from Nick that his car wouldn't start and he couldn't make it to work! He ended up having to take my car while I get a ride from my dad to work tonight, and Nick picks me up at close. Ohhh the things we do for love. But really, this boy canNOT catch a break with his car! He is having problems with it, week after week, and I can only imagine how frustrating that is for him! Then again, he does have a Ford (Fix or repair daily) ;).

In other news, I am LOVING my hair color. The kids (most of them) noticed it, and a lot of them (at least the ones who didn't feel awkward) said that it looked good/nice/pretty. It's a nice feeling to hear that :)

I don't have much to say other than this little bit, BUT please come back tomorrow for my first Bloggin' Ladies feature! I can't wait to tell you guys about my [new] friend Mandy! (!!)

ALSO, don't forget.... I am on Facebook and Bloglovin' and I would LOVE for you to stop by and 'like' this blog or otherwise check things out!

Friday: naps, walks, and boyfriend.

Not much to report today. I had a rough night last night, so I kind of expected school to be awful today (I only had about 4 hours of sleep, and was not in a very good mood. Add cramps and headache = WIN.) but it was actually one of the best days I have had at West High in a really long time! I am satisfied. Due to having such little sleep last night, I plan on taking a long nap with Guillermo, and then going home to hang out with my family until Nick gets off work tonight around ten thirty. Guillermo and I just had our daily neighborhood stroll, and now he is munching on some kibble while I type this! We’ll probably end up playing tug for a while during Dr. Phil, and then head off for our nap.

In other news, Carla’s (Nick + Lynzie’s mom) birthday was last week, so we celebrated last night at O’Charley’s. Unfortunately, Nick had to work, and since it was a very last minute plan, he couldn’t get out early. But we still had lots of fun! And Lynzie made some fantastic cupcakes that were SO delicious. Carla had a great time, it seemed like, and it was nice to spend time with everyone! I ended up ordering a salad with salmon on it, which I don’t normally do. It is hard to get a satisfying meal at places like O’Charley’s and Friday’s, so these are the times that I usually opt for fish. I still feel weird when I eat/order it, because I know that it was once a living, moving/breathing (kind of :)) animal, and I feel guilty because of that. I have come to terms that being healthy is more important, though, than being stubborn at times. Since I had such big problems with B12 anemia and other various aggravations, I am going to be making wiser decisions for my body. Although, it won’t happen often because I STILL kinda feel weird about it.. :-\

Tonight, I plan on making last night up to Nick, since the crappy argument was mostly my fault. There will be candles and ice cream and…. BEER! I hope he likes it and accepts my peace offering :) Although, I am sure he will considering he is the best boyfriend ever. I am a lucky, lucky girl.

My birthday this summer; Nick bought me this

Monday thoughts.

Not much to report today. I am feeling guilty that I didn’t take advantage of a whole weekend with Nick, and let my bad mood from Friday overshadow time with him. I apologized, and he said it was okay, but I still feel bad. School was not so bad, but nothing exciting there, either. A surprise staff meeting was very interesting, though! 

I’ll just leave you all with a few cute pictures of the fur baby.

And one of my favorite pictures of my man. 

Thanks for stopping by, everyone. Don't forget that I love to hear from you and see that you're reading! Click the little follow button at the top left to show your support! Thanks!! xoxo
