Weekly Wrap Up

Well....the first week of school is over and boy am I glad. Don't get me wrong - it wasn't bad. It was just exhausting. Since Jaime, Amanda, and I worked our butts off getting our classrooms ready Monday and Tuesday, we or I at least was already tired when Wednesday came around with our new darlings. I'm very pleased with my class sizes and with the 7th graders. I have heard great things about this class from several different people and I can tell they are going to be a good class to work with this year. I only have two classes of 8th graders this year, and at first I was a little upset about this. I'm used to having almost all of the 8th graders, but I tell ya what! I am so not missing those kids this year! I'm still adjusting to having 6th period planning. I think I'm going to like it. I can get most of the day over with and then finish up with my seventh graders during 7th period. Our hall is great! I love having Amanda right next door, plus Mrs. Arnold on the other side of me. I would only make one more change if it were up me, but unfortunately it's not! :)

I've struggled with fatigue this week due to the insulin mess. I think it's getting bjust a tad bit better though. I've taken a nap after school everyday this week. I hope this begins to get better soon. I hate feeling like I don't have enough energy to do anything. I'm still working on my exercise and eating habits. I've walked 3 days this week and plan to walk today and tomorrow with Zac. It's so hard to come home from work and have to MAKE yourself get on the treadmill and walk. UGH!!! I've only had one slip up with my eating this week. Thursday, after school I went to McDonald's. I know that I shouldn't have. To be honest with you, it didn't even taste that good! I guess that's a good thing because I am definitely not wanting to go back there anytime soon. I've been eating salads and fruits and all sorts of healthy things. And I've also been drinking lots of water. I'm planning on cooking for me and Zac this weekend so that we don't have to eat out at all. This will be something totally different for us because I never cook and we always eat out. We're really trying to make big changes in our lives in order to be healthier. I'm very proud of what we've done so far.
