november? what?
it's been quite sometime since i blogged. it is something i wanted to keep up with, but has gotten lost in the shuffle of my life. it's just after 8pm and i am in bed, ready to go to sleep. yes, lame. but i'm exhausted. i need to get a really good night's rest because a) i'm getting sick with a cold and b) i am too worn out by the time i get home to do any work or motivate myself to workout, probably because i stay up too late. so i need to get back on track with many, many things. here are the pictures i have remembered to take.
October 21st: picture of sky and sierra I took on my crappy camera phone.
to me, it looks like a painting.
October 22nd: no picture
October 23rd: pumpkin patch!
October 24th: my frankenstein pumpkin at the annual pumpkin carve party
October 28th: no picture
November 2nd: no picture
and now, it is finally time to go to sleep. hopefully this sickness doesn't get any worse (at school, i sneezed all morning) and hopefully I can get my life back in order sometime soon. it is in need of it.

i love you day
October 20th: caribou love.
went to caribou for about an hourish today with ivette - just what i needed. a perfect way to break up the week; to talk about life, to share stories from school, and just to be relaxed and content for a least a few moments in the busy day. laura is also home and so we went to jennifer's for dinner. it was a nice evening with my family.
i really struggle with the balance between work and free time. i want to be this great kindergarten teacher, but i feel like i would have to spend so much time outside of school thinking up plans, researching, and creating activities. not that that is a bad thing, but i struggle with the "getting paid enough" aspect and being burnt out from being at school all day to begin with. I think i need to set aside blocks of time to do this, or save it just for one day on the weekend. i think that will help me accomplish a lot, but not get too overwhelmed with it all. i love my kiddies, and i just want to help each one of them succeed as individuals.
alright, enough teacher talk. goodnight chilly autumn air.

another day, another dollar
i'm exhausted and it's only tuesday! it was quite a good tuesday though. here's the past few days.
October 17th: silly band ring sea animals! thanks skylar.
October 18th: one of the moms brought me this! what a wonderful monday morning treat (and so very cute).
October 19th: artsy new tube of toothpaste shot.sunday night was really hard for me. the (ex) boy and i ended it for good. it was hard for both of us, and i think more so for me, but after my dreadful day yesterday (4 and a half hours of sleep with puffy bloodshot eyes at school all day) and a pep talk from my lovely coworker, i have realized it is time to get over it and move on to bigger and better things, so they say. i have a lot to look forward to coming up: laura's home tomorrow, pumpkin patch with the family and going out for michele's birthday saturday, costume finishing with the coworkers next thursday, uptown/grave diggers ball next saturday, helping skylar trick or treat sunday, visiting boone sometime in november, thanksgiving, and then christmas break! and i'm sure there will be lots of other little things thrown in there that will be fun and things i want to do with my free time. since i can barely keep my eyes open, and it's only 9:30, it is bed time. life of a kindergarten teacher. goodnight moon.

sickness strikes again
so i spent this whole weekend being sick. friday i was getting chills at school and just did not feel well. started getting a splitting headache that felt like a migraine (yeah, teaching kindergartners all day was not fun). finally at around 3:45, i left school (my classroom in shambles still) and drove home. i had plans to go out friday, so i decided to see if a nap would work. before my nap, i took my temp and it was 99.5. then i laid there for about an hour not being able to sleep. i took it again and it was like 100.8. took lots of medicine which finally let me fall asleep. woke up and it was 102.8. i HATE fevers. they're the worst. took more medicine, fell back to sleep, and woke up in my clothes drenched in sweat and a broken fever. the fever never came back, but i have had the worst headaches both yesterday and today when i woke up. what's wrong with me. also, check the last pic in the post to see what else my kiddies have given me...
October 10th: the cutie 2 year old enjoying his cake at his party
October 11th: my room is so dark except for the little green time illuminating from my cable box
October 12th: picture of my bulletin board right before i took it down to put up my fall themed one! "Buzzing into Kindergarten", got to remember it for next year.
October 14th: magazine we got to give out to our kids. ivette is in it! shoulda taken a picture of that page instead i guess, ha.October 15th: forgot to take a picture amidst my sick day
October 16th: spent the day in bed. and what you see right under my lip is ringworm. disgusting. 5 kids in my class have/have had it, as well as one of the other K teachers, and i tried to be SO careful not to get it. but of course, i did.i wanted to go into school this morning, but i woke up a little late and with another pounding headache. 2 tylenols, 3 ibuprofens, 1.5 hours, and 1 cup of coffee later, it went away. but i didn't get to go into school and my room is a mess and i'm so unorganized. mom offered to come in after school tomorrow to help me out, which will be nice. i just gotta think of stuff for her to do. i don't know what i'll do if my headache is back again tomorrow. get all drugged up and go to school i suppose. mondays are the worst. i just have to make it to next thursday. then it's costume finishing/wine with my coworker girls, workday/parent teacher conferences on friday, and then halloween festivities! can't wait. i want to take a cool picture for today with my camera, i just need to find my camera battery charger. it has gone missing...

it's a girl!
this past tuesday we got to welcome baby sierra, the newest addition to my sister's family. and she is the cutest baby ever. i love her already.
October 4th: sky and ky trying on their vampire halloween costumes.
sky thinks she's bella, haha.
October 5th: happy birth day, sierra!
October 6th: laura's visit.
October 7th: laura visited me at school. 
October 8th: sierra's first day home!
October 9th: while out buying kylan a birthday present, this reminded me of a joke with my coworkers. there's a K who sounds like one of these.tomorrow is kylan's birthday/welcome home sierra party to eat some dinner and watch some football. i have things to do in the morning like working out, finishing cleaning my room, and a bunch of stuff to do for school. last night i passed out at 9, and i feel like i could fall asleep again right now. i am constantly tired. i'm enjoying teaching, and i love my school and coworkers, but i feel like it is all i do/think about. plus i'm always tired. i'm hoping this constant exhaustion will eventually pass as i get used to waking up so early and working all day. i can't wait for the end of october and fun holidays in the upcoming months!
sleep over with sky and cam tonight. i'm the coolest 22 year old i know.

back to the daily grind
why do weekends go by too quickly?
September 30th: cool sky driving home
October 1st: fall weather
well i better get to bed. it's late, for me, and i'm going to hate myself in the morning. as if i don't hate getting up at 5am enough as it is. this is going to be a busy week which includes the birth of my new niece/nephew on tuesday!! i can't wait. goodnight crickets. i love sleeping with the windows open and i love this weather.
