Friday, I'm so glad you're here.

Good news, folks.

Today I was 100% successful in bathing, arriving on time and not making any children cry!

Ahhh... practice makes perfect.  ;)

I have officially survived my first full week of student teaching and it feels pretty great!

What doesn't feel so great is the headache digging away at my skull -- boo.  

So now I'm going to reward my hard work with a couple of pain killers and a nap before it's time to go pick up the father-in-law's trailer.

Did I say what we're doing tomorrow?

I'll tell you what we're not doing -- sleeping in. 

What?!

Yea, I know, right?

Though it is for a good reason which will save our Dave Ramsey budget a ton!

Tomorrow we'll be spending most of the morning/day loading and unloading some free landscaping rock from a friend who has decided they would like to remove theirs.

Sweet.

This will help us out so much when we start our landscaping plans this summer!

I'm just not looking forward to the lifting, loading and unloading part... though to be honest, hubby does most of the work; I only carry "Whitney sized" rocks.  =D

So here's to afternoon naps and early to bed!

Name Change

Just so you know, if I survive these last few weeks I'll be officially changing my name to Super Whitney.

...If I survive...

And in said case, I will then proceed to reward myself with LOTS of sleep, a husband who will actually move home to live with me (YAY!) and hopefully some lovely DIY projects I've been dreaming about.

On a side note, yesterday I spent several hours at my high school placement doing auditions for "Bye, Bye, Birdie."  As a result, last night I dreamt about Elvis singing this song...

Bye, Bye Birdie: One Last Kiss

Saturday Morning Musings...

The GAL Rush retreat was last night.

First of all, almost forgot how much I love that rush event more than any of the others.  I love having all night to get to know my sisters better.  =)  Also, I feel old.  I cannot pull of 4:00am like I used to when I was a young chickie.  lol

Second, I've had this tension headache for five days now.  I know it's stemming from my neck -- it's a pretty obvious feeling -- and I've tried stretching it out, but I'm beginning to think that short of paying a masseuse, this thing is in it for the long haul.  I'm becoming desperate... I just might be willing to pay a large sum of money for someone to magically make this headache disappear.

Finally, I realized when I woke up a few minutes ago (remember, I was up till 4:00am) that in two weeks from today I will be boarding an international flight, destination: Bahamas.  Super can't wait.  It's going to be a wonderful week and after looking forward to it for what, 10 months now, I can't believe it's just around the corner!

Reading material for the week is still heavily debated.

I'm caught between reading the Twilight Saga again (always a fav) in preparation for the next movie (I've read all four books before each movie release so far, kind of my favorite rereading I've ever done), the option of branching out and looking for a new novel that I've never read (something light hearted... it's beach reading, folks).

What to read, what to read... oh my goodness I can't wait, it's going to be sooo lovely.
