Thanksgiving.

Yesterday was a wonderful day. This is how it went. My family...went to pick up Logan from his house. We went to church and listened to people give thanks. It was amazing. You realize how much thanks we have to give for the little things in life. Then it was off to the Barrie's house. We had some appetizers...and then a delicious Thanksgiving dinner/lunch/whatever it is called. We took part in some games...telephone  Pictionary....probably one of the funniest games you will ever play. I want to play with my friends. Then lots of yummy dessert. My mom made crem brulee and there was MUCH much more there. Then back to my house to play Cranium and with my fam and Logan. Please let me tell you HOW hilarious this was. Favorite story of the day. Playing Cranium...my mother is not on my team. It is an all play and the word is 'potty train' she had no idea what it was...WHAT IS THAT!?! So...dying of laughter we go into another room and she goes like when women line up to use the bathroom. I am on the floor @ this time. Dying. I go...no you did this to Adam and I. Lightbulb went on and she was like I FEEL SO STUPID. Ahahahaha. You should. Woweeeee. Anyway, overall a great Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my patient parents, my hilarious introverted brother, my big-hearted boyfriend...and much much more.

Logan and I have come to the conclusion that we need more couple friends. We want to have game nights/appetizers/dinner parties and lots of fun!!!! So we are on a hunt, if you find any great friends please tell us. 

PS: No pictures from Thanksgiving and I am a bit pissed. I will work harder on those.

PSS: I am taking Log to the Nutcracker Saturday night. I WILL get pictures for that! Yay...Hunter/Harper two of the little girls I nannied are in it. Excited.

I am out. It is 1:20...I should do something productive, plus I have to work tonight for the first time in like 2 weeks. :) 

This is my life.

I am fairly sure I have never been this stressed in my entire life. Just Kidding. I have. Currently I have the following to do/finish/start/begin/oh wow:

• I finished all of my lesson plans. I hope. I need to print them all.
• Print Unit Overview
• Print Up 2 Date Journals
• Create a Rubric for my Pocket Book
• Hope and Pray to God my students pass the tests I give them. Oh yes, I made them.
• Make Hasty Pudding.
• TWS ALL COMPONENTS. No big deal. Have yet to start. Wooohooo.

 Why does the college make your semester of student teaching ridiculously hard. Anyway, on top of all of that...I am trying to deal with 12 of the craziest fifth graders. They are 'learning' to play basketball. Yay for my boyfriend who is ALWAYS there to help.


PS: I am getting sick...so I have been drinking tea up the kazoo and taking vitamin C, orange juice, chicken noodle soup, and everything else that will heal me like ZAP. 


3 MORE WEEKS. 11 days until Thanksgiving. 41 until Christmas I think? <3 <3 <3 My favorite time of year and it should be yours too!

This girl has work to complete.

My Job.

Erin, I appreciate how you say everything I am thinking. Jamie sort of kind of told me this tonight. :) I can't remember how she worded it. Though...this should mean one of two things. Either...I am ballsy...or...I am a bitch. Which one do you think it is? Probably a bitch. Here is a line from someone...'Well...uh...we are OUTTA BREAD PLATES.' My loud response in the middle of the kitchen was...'Why...don't you walk your ass over and get some more.' I can't stand my job. I need a new one bad. I am almost done with student teaching and that means a ton of a lot more subbing and a calm work environment.

Here is me...going to work. Not today, a day I was a little happier. :-)

This is how this morning started. I woke up late feeling horrible...so I was 30 minutes late, which they were find with...I was great the first few hours...then it hit me I was freezing and I was sweating out of control. They kept telling me I was pale and that I should go home, but um...hell no. You think my managers would let me do that, no way. They said...you have to work. See you tonight. So...I went to Logan's house and drank a huge huge huge glass of peppermint tea. Felt like crap. Went back to work, still felt horrible and all night I thought I was going to throw up. I had too many kids at my first big table, the person who transferred tables to me walked out without introducing me, so I was all awkward, then food was at like 40 minute tickets on 3 of my tables and some of the first food was lost. I hated it. I am glad today is over. When I got home my wonderful mother had some organic chicken broth for me and I stomached down some waffles. I then proceeded to watch a few episodes of The Office with my family and sit in the sauna. Oh, and when I walked in the door my lovely brother Adam said, 'Must have been a rough day at work. Look at you hair.' RUDE. Also, we gain an hour of sleep tonight. PRAISE THE LORD!

I am pretty excited about life right now. My entire unit project is ending soon. I have 7 more lesson plans to write up and then I have to finish my entire TWS. Which is going to blow may I add. Pointless work for a pointless reason. Anyway, I am done student teaching December 3rd (ish). I am not positive on the date...because...the college and I figured different days. Also, I start coaching on Monday. First practice...it is going to be interesting yet so fun. Logan and I will have the opportunity to work as a team to freaking make some little ballers'. I love it. I am so thankful I have an athletic, sexy, hilarious, boyfriend who is amazing with kids. Well...I hope these kids...and that he is not just bias towards his nephews and niece.

Anyway. It is officially sleep time. I have to wake up early to go to church and do work.

Night.

Coaching.

I went shopping, new Head Coach gear HAD to be bought!

Coaching. You will not even believe what has happened to me in the last week. I was approached by the superintendent/principal of the school I am student teaching at and asked if I would be interested in coaching fifth grade boys basketball.


My jaw has dropped. I did not know how to respond. After thought...I have accepted the offer. I am the new fifth grade boys basketball coach at my school!

This will be an amazing opportunity for me. It is a resume builder, a way to get in with the school, I have this super amazing boyfriend who played college basketball who is going to be my assistant, and schools will be excited to see this!


GO BEARS!

Also, 4 weeks left in ST. Scary.
