Smooth Sailing
Compared to last Monday, today went great. The awesome thing about rainy days and high schoolers is that it actually calms them down. Not so with middle schoolers (who I taught for six fun-filled years.) Rainy days with a middle schooler: take a 2 liter of soda, shake real hard, and you know the rest. Well, a middle schooler is a bottle of pop with no lid. Now, multiply that by 35, add a couple of smart mouths, and a cry baby or two, and that was my former life.
High school is a much different (and better) story. They're all sleepy on rainy days and they just want to do quiet things and hush... It's awesome! Another thing to feel good about is that I exercised for an hour today. I've been meaning to start every work week with a workout (enough w's?!?), but it hasn't happened for the past month or so. And then I'm cramming four workouts into the end of the week. So fun. I was doing well with the weight loss this summer, but I kinda lost steam once school started. I feel refocused on it now that my sister's wedding is over. I'd really like to get my blood sugar under control. I know once I do, I'll probably get pregnant again and have to deal with the whole gestational diabetes nightmare. Well, I'm out. Off to a well deserved evening of watching mindless reality tv. 2 comments from 2 users

Thumbs up on the exercise thing! I ate lots of Halloween candy today. Yay me. Not.

Glad to read that this week is off to a good start. And good for you for getting back into the exercise routine! I need to do that, too. :)
