Temptation

The temptations for over-eating are all around you. The most important thing is to stay away from the fast food places where you can eat fat, carbs, and salt any time of the day. Another good thing is to not watch commercials on TV or other places. Keep on your plan, drink your water, and do your exercise - the basics are good. And you can resist temptation.

Down 1

Well, I went down one - yeah! Nametags on the brain. I'm determined to learn my kids' names this year. Good day today. Now I have seen all my kids at least once. Nice group of students this year.

Made It

Well, I survived. I had a good lunch and tried to drink my water, but didn't do too well on the water. I'm trying to get my routine down so I can drink the water. It's very difficult this year because the classes come right on top of each other, one right after another. The kids are responding well to Responsive Classroom though. This is good. Tomorrow I don't have 11 classes, so it will not be quite as tough.

I'm going to bed.

A Record

Tomorrow I have 11 classes. This is an all-time record in one day. Every Monday I will teach 11 classes. I am prepared and ready. I have some snacks ready and a good but fast lunch. If I'm still alive tomorrow night (ha) I'll let you know how it goes.

Looking East

Yesterday went well - all 10 classes of it. Best start of school ever. B and I went out to a nice dinner. Today was a normal day - nice weather, food shopping, stopped at Kohls to pick up some new shoes. Even my feet weren't hurting too bad today. I took Essi for a nice walk this morning.

I hope the hurricane isn't tearing things up too much out east. I'm worried for my sister and family in Virginia Beach and my beloved Rehoboth Beach. Right this minute it is directly on top of Rehoboth. I hope the sea grass holds.

Good Day

Kids excited. Me too. Good first day. Things started on the right foot. Drank my water. Salad for lunch. Nice dinner that B made. I'm tired, so I'm going to bed.

Hurricane Irene

It's heading for Virginia and Rehoboth. Batten down the hatches. And just after the earth quake. I hope it isn't as bad as they think it will be.

Tomorrow is our first day of school. I'm excited to meet my kids!
