Quick, Someone Come Motivate Me!

by Rachel on February 25, 2010

We are having yet another snow day here (I am genuinely puzzled as to why, seeing as how it’s sunny and NOT SNOWING.) I’m totally not complaining though, because I enjoy having the day off. BUT I am not being very productive…I started out ok, filling out job applications and such, but then I just [...]

Oh Gross

by Rachel on February 24, 2010

Ugh, yesterday, I thought I would do myself a favor and eat something healthy for lunch. I decided on edamame, ordinarily something that I like very much. Well, not anymore. Every time I so much as THINK of those little green beans, I want to throw up a little. In my mouth. *Shudder* I never [...]

The Weight Loss Thing

by Rachel on February 18, 2010

At the beginning of this year I posted about how I wanted to lose weight. So far, I think I’ve been fairly successful. I’ll admit, I think I gained a little bit even after I posted that because I was trying to get back into the whole school routine-you know, trying to juggle a new [...]

Weather Wusses

by Rachel on February 16, 2010

I realized something today: After being back in school for close to a month, I have yet to attend a full week of school. My first week of student teaching: Went Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Out for snow on Friday. Second week of teaching: Out Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, went in 2 hours late [...]

To D

by Rachel on February 15, 2010

Dear D, Thank you for my wonderful Valentine’s Day presents! (Hello Kitty t-shirt, chocolates, and card for all those not in the know.) Thank you for dinner too, I know Mexican food is not your favorite thing, but you are a good sport. You are the best Valentine I ever had and I love you [...]

This Week’s Cuteness

by Rachel on February 12, 2010

We were blessed with 2 snow days this week (and I said blessed because, although I love my Kindergartners, a day off is a day off), but there was still plenty of time for cuteness. Here you go: J: “Miss April, Miss April, I need help!”- This kid KNOWS my name is Rachel, but insists [...]

Psst…I need your help!!!!!!

by Rachel on February 11, 2010

In case you aren’t lucky like me and you don’t have 23 Kindergartners to keep you up to date on your holiday schedule, Valentine’s Day is this weekend. And I have a problem. I have NO clue what to get D.  He is probably the hardest person in the world to buy for…because he always [...]

Why I Don’t Like Water Wings

by Rachel on February 11, 2010

As I posted earlier in the year, I am trying to lose weight…I think that I have been reasonably successful thus far, because my pants are starting to not fit so well! (I have for the most part stopped weighing myself- so many things can affect your weight, but if your clothes are too big, [...]

Come on and SNOW!

by Rachel on February 8, 2010

Tonight, I went out for dinner with my awesome friend (and former roomie) H.  Just so you know, I laughed so hard that I almost peed!  (And let’s just say that when we lived together, there were a few times when it wasn’t an almost-she is a screech!) We ate our dinner and then decided [...]

*Snicker*Snort*

by Rachel on February 5, 2010

As many of you know, I am doing my student teaching in a Kindergarten classroom this semester.  I looove Kindergarten. Don’t get me wrong, it has it’s challenges, like anything does, but all in all I think this is a pretty awesome age.  One of the best parts of being around young children is the [...]
