I suck at this blog stuff I know

Ok I know, I know I suck when it comes to blogging but my life is pretty boring. Right now I am on track break until next school year. Instead of doing the emotionally challenged kids we will be teaching early childhood pre school. This will be so much better than getting beat up everyday when I go to work. Now I get to change diapers. Hey I will choose that over bodily harm any day.

I am also taking classes at UNLV in a fast track program. I am hoping to be doing my student teaching next fall. I would be doing it during the summer but all CCSD schools went 9 month. I was happy when we were told that our school was going but I wasn't happy that all the school would be going. It would have worked out great for me to student teach during the summer. Oh well what can I do.

While I have been on track break I have been pretty busy, but its a good busy. I have been laying by the pool, going to the gym and finally doing what I want to do. I am back on my diet for my track break. I am hoping to lose another 20 pounds before I go back to school. That would be great. Today I am going to the Cheesecake Factory for $1.50 cheesecake. I know it's not on the diet but you can't beat $1.50 cheesecake. Can't pass that up. I am also planning on doing some crafts while I am on break. I will post them once I get them done and pictures taken. Sorry this post is boring I don't have any picture to share. Maybe next post. I promise I will try and be better at keeping this updated.

Diet Continued

Ok so I have been on this diet for 21 days. I have lost 17.4 pounds. When I first started this diet I thought I was going to die. The first 3 days are the worst, but now it is getting easier. I am going to try and do the 45 days. I want to lose as much as possible. I will keep you updated on how much I lose at the end of the 45 days.

New Diet

Ok so I'm doing this new diet. You start off this 2 binge days. You are eating all day 3000 to 4000 calories worth. Then for the next 25 to 45 which ever one you choose all you eat is 500 calories. Then for 3 weeks after you eat 1500 calories of the same foods. So for the next 25 to 45 days I will be eating chicken, beef (2) times a week, and I'm going to try shrimp. I will also be eating lettus, apples, oranges, strawberries, and cucumbers. I know it sounds so exciting. If I follow this diet it is said that you lose around 30 pounds in 45 days. Hey if I can lose that much I'll be so excited. As well as eating like this you have to take these drops so that it resets your set points. Meaning when you start eating again you won't gain it all back. I hope I can make it. It's going to be a long 25 to 45 days. Wish me luck!!!!!!

Track Break Crafts

Here are some crafts that I have done while I have been on track break.

New Pillows

Old Ottoman

I bought this ottoman at DI and thought I should recover it. I made it to match the pillows that I had made.

I have been pretty busy during track break or I just have to much time on my hands. Either way I am having fun being crafty.

There are more crafts to come.

I know it has been forever.

I know I know, it has been forever. Well, I have a very good reason. On January 15th I started school. I am finishing my teaching degree. I go to school on Fridays and Saturdays for four weeks for each class. I have completed 2 classes so far and am starting number 3 on Friday. With these classes being 4 week they are very busy. Once I complete this next class I will be done until July. I can't wait.

I am still working at Clyde Cox as a SEC aide. I get attacked on a regular basis from 6 year olds. Gotta love the job. I just need to finish this week and then I am on track break for 2 weeks and then Spring Break. I can't wait. 4 days to go.

While I have been working 2 jobs, and going to school, I have also been doing some crafts.

I found this really cute material and decided to make a quilt for Eva. I am still working on it but this is what the layout it.

I have also been working on a quit for Cris. I found this great Toy Story fleece. So I cut the edges and then tied it. He loved it. Cristi says that he took the Toy Story blanket instead of the Incredibles one. Score!!!! Maybe one day he will like me.

While I have been on track break I have been busy. To start it off I threw a bridal shower for Kim. That was a whole lot of fun and I was so happy it turned out.

Track Break

Ok I have been in this new job for 3 and a half months. What can I say about my new job.... well it is interesting. I am in a class with 4 students. We started off with just one and grew to 5 but then one left. I go to work everyday to something new. Whether it is chasing after students, defending myself from students, or protecting the other students from other students. This just is very stressful but right now I am on track break for 4 more weeks. So life is good.

While I have been on track break I have discovered my crafty side. Thanks Kim for finding the blog Tater Tots and Jello. This is where I have gotten tons of ideas. I got one idea from here and that was a Marshmallow wreath.

This was so much fun!!!! The marshmallows are held

in with toothpicks.

Half way there!!!!

The marshmallows are done!!!!

The wreath is complete!!!

It came out so cute!!! I love it!!!

I have lots more ideas and I will post them once I get them done.

New Job

For those of you that don't know my job with the school district was eliminated.  Because of this I was placed in a new position at a new school.  As of tomorrow I will be working at Clyde Cox Elementary school.  All I know is that I will be an SPTA ( special ed teachers assistant.)  I don't know what kind of a class it is nor do I know who the teacher is. This is going to be a hard move for me just because I was at Tartan for almost 4 years.  I got to know many people there.  I will miss all of my friends there, but I am hoping to make more friends over at Cox.  I was told that sometimes change isn't a bad thing, sometimes it's for the good.  I hope this move is for the good.  I'll keep you all informed about how it goes.  Tomorrow is the big day!!!!
