The Couch of Wonder



Happy end of the week to you. Happy three-day weekend, as well. I am pretty excited to have three days to relax. Well, kinda relax that is. I will be busy, busy, busy!

I love my new couch. I have already had two nice naps on it. Wonderful. Too bad I now don't have enough room in my apartment. I think something is going to have to go and it might be the beloved bean bag chair. I figure I am 31 and it might just be time to be over the whole bean bag thing! I think the money would definitely go to the Wii fund!

I really am enjoying my students. It is so very weird how a good attitude really can change the whole experience of anything. I really am trying to stay positive and actually get to know each student more. That makes a big difference. My Leadership class pretty much thinks I am crazy, but I really feel we are closer than we have been. They are big Juniors this year. I really want to help them get their acts together in order to graduate next year. Too bad the reality is that about half of them will not make it to their Senior year. That really makes me sad and I hope we can change that.

I have been filled with a little rage the past few days. Last night at softball I called one of the players on the other team a butt and then a horse's patoot. (I really did use those very words!) Today, I lost patience with a few of my students. Poor things. They really can't do anything about me and my rage when it comes. I did cool down eventually and had a pretty good afternoon.

Tonight, Janette and I got dinner and then watched The Office. We are catching her up for when the new season starts in a few weeks. I am excited to have another friend to watch with each Thursday. It is even an added bonus that she has an awesome huge flat screen. And no, I am not her friend just for her TV.

Up for the weekend: 1. Harvesting corn down in Delta 2. Laugh show of Timpanogos Storytelling Festival 3. Visit Morgan who is up from Vegas 4. Sheepdog championships in Midway. I am a little busy, like I said.

Tired

I am just partying too much at night.  This is how I party:  I sit in front of the TV and watch What I Like About You until 11:30.  Then I sleep at 11:45.  Not enough sleep.  Dragging already today.  I am excited for the long weekend except for the fact that I have booked myself.  I am doing something pretty much every minute of the weekend.  Sad day for me and resting and cleaning. :(

I had a crazy dream about aliens.  You should ask me about it sometime.  It was crazy.

Well, off to make yet another PowerPoint for my Health class.  Thrilling!
