So the house is finally clean and I'm waiting on my last load of laundry to finish before I go to bed. So I'm on my laptop, listening to Micheal Buble. And man, his voice is so soothing. I can't listen to him all the time, b/c I don't want to get sick of his songs like every other CD I listen to. =)
So tonight is one of my rare occasions where I spent the day cleaning/de-stressing a little... so it's the perfect time to listen to him!
I also forgot add to my entry this afternoon... I started weight watchers again yesterday b/c they have a free trial going online for 1 week- so I figure--- if I stick with it for the free week, then I'll continue paying for it afterwards... b/c the last few times I would do it for a day and then wake up and forget about it. haha... So I've been on plan and have lost 2 lbs! Hooray! It's always the first week where I lost the most b/c I'm very consciouses about what I eat. Plus, I haven't been to the store... so there is not a whole lot to choose from other than tuna, ramen noodles, mac & cheese, etc. Basically everything a college student lives on. (I'm on the I'm too poor to afford real food) diet. lol
Once I get my budget to where I want it to be... (hoping by February I'll have 3 of my CC paid off... which will put some money back into my pocket! ) I can spend a little more on the good stuff.
So I just have to be careful of my portions, eat the good stuff, not so much the bad and I'll be good. (Sounds so easy... not as easy to do on my stressful days.)
Well.... I'm purty sleepy and my laundry needs put away! =)
G'night friends! <3

Fall is near! =)
So I just realized how busy my life has been lately. I go into work around 7:30 and get home around 7 at night. (I'm trying to keep my classroom organized/clean so when my sis goes into labor, my sub will be able to find everything easily!) So then I come home, do a little more work, eat a quick meal and go to bed. That has literally been my life that past month. Then Friday nights I would drive home to my parent's and hang out there all weekend. And they are so busy getting ready for baby Sonorah's arrival... painting her nursery/shopping for baby stuff they need/etc. I was up running errands with them! (It was a blast! I love doing fun stuff like that with my family!) Then we saw the movie "Contagent?" about the deadly virus. It was good.... a little long at parts, but I liked it. I probably won't watch it ever again- but it was one that I'm glad I went to see!
So that leads me to this weekend. I was working in my classroom after the kids left yesterday and at 5pm, I realized I STILL have a lot to do. So I called home and let them know I would be staying here to "grade" the stack of papers that have been piling up in my basket... so I left school just before 7 last night. I hit the hay around 11 and woke up around 10:30 today and feel amazing! So my poor house has been collecting dust and I desperately need do clean/do laundry. So I've got my living room all finished, the guest room sheets are getting a wash and some fall candles are lit! Now I'm working on my bedroom and kitchen! (The bonus of having a small house... less time spent cleaning! hehe)
I also put out some fall decorations since the first day of autumn is this Friday! I always have to get a head start b/c I love to enjoy the seasonal decorations! =) And Andrea- I'm thinking of you today as I'm doing all of this and watching the Lifetime channel! hehehe Also- I'm getting you bday package ready today so I can sent it out on Monday! So I hope you get it this week! <3
Although.... watching these movies are making me wish I had a man to groan as I change it to this channel! haha =) Ohhhh one day---- it's all in God's timing.
I am loving the fact that I have nothing planned this weekend. It's so wonderful to get some things done that will make me feel less stressed this week... especially with P-T conferences coming up--- BLAH! =( I would enjoy this so much more if the majority of my parents showed up- but I do all this work to prepare for them, and half of them are no-shows. The joys of working in a Title 1 school I guess! =(
Anyways- I just felt like updating ya'll a lil on my crazy-busy life as of now! Things will start to calm down once baby Sonorah is here and I'm not on the edge of my seat staring at my cell waiting for the call! I'm so scared that Erica will go into labor when I'm at school and I'll have to drop everything, find a sub/split my class immediately and go home, pack really fast and get to the hospital so I can be with my family for the exciting arrival! (Granted- once Erica starts pushing, we will be in the waiting room, but I want to be with my family b/c I will not be able to concentrate on anything else otherwise!)
Until next time! <3 Jess
