Well I made it back to 6 miles last night. I was hoping to champion 6 miles, and watch the Vikings make it to the Super Bowl... well, the 6 mile part came through.. bummer.  The Vikes choked at the end, surprise surprise.

Also, I had fun teaching Cross Country ski lessons last weekend and I'll be teaching a private lesson again this weekend! ( Read more... )

 It's 2010 and I haven't posted yet- oops! Guess I'm just too busy these days!

Let's see, we are at semester for school already. I am 1/2 way thru my 2nd year of teaching ALREADY. WOW. How quick was that? A couple of other anniversaries too. I've been in my apartment for 1 year now and away from the crazy roommate for that long too. So very nice. ( Read more... )

Would you believe Christmas is already here and gone? I wouldn't either. But yet.... it is. I'm home in Minnesota for a few more days before I ship out to Madison with the cat again. Maybe this time the drive won't take 7 hours.... that was pretty terrible AND terrifying. Worst drive home ever for sure.

Christmas was good- quick, and alittle mixed ( Read more... )

one more day of school until Christmas Break- it can't come soon enough!

Then I'm driving to Minnesota with cat in tow... should be... fun?

hah.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's going to be an interesting and rough month. Lots going on and lots I've got to figure out. Throw some love, even prayers my way if you can! (yes, I asked for prayers...)

 As usual, my updates are few and far between. And now, I'm updating mostly because I should be doing other work related things. Such is the life :-)

I ran the Turkey Trot 5K this morning with Colleen and was pleasantly surprised. I ran it in about 26:30... still waiting on that "official chip time", which puts me at about 8:30 miles! The first one ( Read more... )

We are nearing the end of week 7 and I know my updates suck. Life is BUSY. With 21 little 2nd graders running around I don't have much free time. I also play soccer 2x per week which is great, and basically my social life...!!!!

Overall though, the class is doing really well. Even though there are more, I feel much more in control and just better in ( Read more... )

2 weeks down, week 3 starts tomorrow. I'm still surviving. I have a good group for the most part this year, it's just that having 21 is so MANY more than 14. I'm still adjusting to having so many extra bodies in the room!

On the non-work side, I had 2 soccer games this weekend, and not many girl subs. I took a beating to say the least, but, I love ( Read more... )

 Well, I made it through week one with 20 kids. the 21st kid comes on Tuesday, ooof-daaah!

I also have a soccer-ball shaped bruise on my leg, hahahaha and my cat Charlie is meeting my friend Jensine's dog tomorrow... I think he might hate me after that. We need to socialize him with dogs for Tony though... should be hilarious!

I'll leave you with our ( Read more... )

Well, we're 2 days in, and they have gone really well. Shockingly well, considering the group I have. I'm alittle terrified that this is the honeymoon period- the calm before the storm. Here's to hoping I can keep 21 kiddos in line and continue to!
