You would think @ 23 years old that I would have maybe figured out what I want in life or better yet who I really am... but it has yet to happen. Sometimes I am in total shock of the things i do... i mean REALLY!! I used to be embarrassed to say that I quite haven't figured all that out yet, but lately I have come to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter. Like it really is okay to roll into school blaring My Dougie or Lil Wayne... Or my fav... singing America the beautiful so loud that the neighbors can hear me and thinking that it is fruited grains instead of plains! OR... wearing Christmas shirts to cheer practice and Cheri making fun of me ps. It was rough night and morning) So rough I almost threw up during FLIGHT SCHOOL anyways... I mean who said life had to be so serious allll the time! Don't get me wrong we all need structure, but I have finally realized that CRAP does happen... and it will be okay!!! Life is to short not to enjoy it... I am okay with being like a "Maze" right now, and I really not concerned with what others have to say about who I am :)
Anyways... I totally survived the first week of school with 6th graders!!!! I hate to say this but they are precious (and yes i have already knocked on wood) I did take several naps after I got home but it is all good... I miss my Lamar friends, but I truly love the people at Bowie. So many times I get this weird look about switching schools, but I truly feel blessed to be working where so many people love the kids!
I also finished my first draft today... football will have a whole new meaning in my life this year. I won't be able to just watch the cboysssss!
loveeee you!

We Will Win
Well....
I have my black polo washed (well sorta... its in the washer now), my khaki skirt ironed, and my tory burch's ready to go!!! I have probably worked more than 20 hours on my new room, and I have spent the last two hours trying to find a motivational clip and the perfect song for my lesson tomorrow. i found a clip a football one of course!! I am still trying to decided on a song... and I HAVE to have a song... because my first day won't be complete with out MUSIC!!!My motto this year for my students and myself is WE WILL WIN! (Yes this is the same motto that Mac used when they used to be horrible at football and then all of a sudden had a winning season.) but... I think this is a pretty sweeeeet motto for my students and me.
I sometimes wonder why in the WORLD do I put so much time, money and effort in to teaching. I mean I could really do anything I WANT with my life and I chose to teach... I have already had a break down, dug into my savings for some school stuff, dripped with sweat working in my room, dodged roaches and crickets, fell of a table, and I have even cried (surprise surprise). The worst part is I have yet to even see kids! Then I remember all the sweet emails, sweet notes, laughs,HUGS, and SMILES that come with my job. (plus i get a TON of holidays off) haaa! After watching a 10000 clips and listening to a 10000 songs for tomorrow, I realize that I have one of the BEST jobs in the world. I get to make a difference in a kid's life that might not have a mom, a dad, a brother, a sister, or a friend. I can't wait to see what is in store for me this year.
soo BRING on my 6 graders and the 2010-2011 school year
love you all!!!

Grilled Cheese with pickles and Arbor Mist
So... Sunday night around 10 i decided to look @ my calendar on my phone. I then noticed that I had training the next morning! Needless to say I FREAKED! I don't do laundry because 1. because my mom always did it for me so we will blame her and 2. I have this sweeet habit called shopping, and when I need something to wear i just go find something. So I had to do a load of laundry because I was not going to buy anything @ walmart (the only place open) target closes @ 9 on Sundays ya knowww! So not only did i go in to panic mode about clothes... I also decided that @ 10 that it was probably a good time to start cleaning my room since summer was over, and I really hadn't cleaned much this summer. Mandi helped... shes a pretty good LP! We got a bag of trash out of my room (SICK) ps. i really shouldn't admit that there is a bag of trash in my room but.... there was! My room and bathroom got cleaned in about an hr.... I even straighted up all my shoes in my closet!!!!I am crazzyyy i know!!!
So I am back in school mode... almost! I have still continued with my daily naps! Getting up at six is HORRIBLE, and I wouldn't be pleasant with out a nap! I really don't have a choice to nap because our cable won't work right. It freaking freezes up. It all started during shark week. I was already pissed off at shark week but that is a whole 'nother blog! Anyways..I have ripped the box out of the wall once and thrown many objects at it. The customer care center is over seas and they don't understand me. So mandi and I sit in our "girl cave" or club 621 and either have the option of staring at each other, reading, dancing, cart wheels, back bend kick over look a likes, go nina, or napping.... 9 times out of 10 we usually end up falling asleep or playing nina.
Well it is off to make grilled cheese with pickles and drink arbor mist... i know I am one CLASSY girl :)
love you
JC
