Call the Preppies In

Call the preppies in is a little throw back to something that we used to say where I grew up. It’s a deviation of Call the cows in since I grew up on a ranch in Midlo, TX, and yes that stands for “middle of nowhere”. Well, actually, that’s my BFF’s interpretation of my hometown. I have an amazing family, wonderful friends, and the most rewarding job in the world- I teach.

Wednesday Ramblings..

Where does the time go???
Seriously. It just amazes me how quickly time flies! I just now got home and my day started @ 5am this morning w/ my morning jog. Got to school to find that my ac was not working so I was pretty much stuck in a hot and humid classroom full of teenagers that were sweaty and stinky- Ewwwwwww!! It's days like today that make me wonder what in the world I am doing teaching 7th grade? Especially when they ask me things like - Miss..Did you not get a chance to flat iron your hair this morning? It looks different- I mean heavens for bid it be a little more poofier (sp?) than normal..oh and the rumor is that I take my fingers run them across my chalkboard and that's how I get my eyeshadow!! Ugh?? What in the world? I started dying laughing. Guess I've been applying the Bobbi Brown highlighter stick a little too heavily!! LOL :) We did get to talk about rumors bc I asked if anyone had actually seen me do that and they all said no. Exactly, which is why that would be a rumor! :)

Do you ever feel like you should get more done at the end of the day? I've been feeling this more than I ever have lately. Is it bc more is expected from us?? I blame it on technology.

I did win tickets to the Mavericks game today. Go me! I won 6 of them for next Tuesday night Mavs vs. Bulls at the AA Center- plan on taking the Fam. Wish me luck w/ that. I was the first to answer a trivial question correctly and respond via email- thanks to google I was able to find it quickly. :)

Just got home from tutoring a girl w/ her Trig- (we went over an hour bc she has a test tomorrow and was not even close to being ready for it), plan to watch the 3rd and final debate (hoping that they will actually go back and forth w/ issues that I need to know answers to), make scrapbook page for JL directory, call friend "C" back that I have been putting off, and then go to bed to wake up and start all over again tomorrow.

Finally, I have some very exciting news to share hopefully by Monday! I'm thinking about traveling Europe this summer for 30 days w/ a friend..more details to come.

Hope everyone has a Terrific Thursday tomorrow :)
