#3 for the week! Rock on! I found some pretty cool things while at Dillon's the other day. The first thing I found was a pencil pouch. This might not sound too neat, but my sister and I spent quite a while looking for one. I mean, who wouldn't have thought to look at the grocery store first?
The other thing I found was a little bottle that had cinnamon and sugar mixed together! How awesome! Now I can make cinnamon toast without having to mix the cinnamon and sugar together! Yay! Needless to say, I had two pieces of cinnamon toast this morning with my Multigrain Cheerios. Don't worry, I didn't use real butter. I used Land O Lakes buttery spread with no cholesterol. Yummy :)

I'm Posting!!
This is my second time in a week! Woo-hoo!! I figured out why it is so hard for me to blog. Most (probably all) of the people who read this blog, I just talk to on an almost daily basis and therefore don't feel like I have much to say. My mom told me to throw something out there that was completely false and see how many people would figure it out or say something. I don't know if I am that desperate yet. :)
My resolutions are going ok. Not great, not horrible. I am not doing well with the running/walking thing AT ALL! The other health ones are going well... although I don't know my cholesterol score right now, so I don't know if it has gone down.
Most of the cleaning ones are going very well, which is something completely new to me. I am not used to having such a clean room and bathroom. :)
I went up to see my sister this week and have only eaten out 1x this week so far. I also haven't watched much tv at all this week, either during the week or on the weekend or when I am with Ben. It has been really nice.
I am working on getting through my first book of the month, The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I really enjoy it, but the past few nights I have been too tired to sleep! Hopefully I will get some reading done this weekend.
I haven't gone up to school yet this month, but I think I will have to go up this coming weekend. I am getting things ready to start with centers next week and I have some things to get organized and put in place before we start that. I have been using my plan time pretty well, but I haven't gotten much planned for next week, so I may be up there doing that.
I am planning on going to church with my brother this coming Sunday. I have been to the church before and really like it. I think it will just be tough to get up and get going on Sundays. They were usually my day to sleep in.
Overall I would say that things are going a lot better than they normally do and although I am not doing awesome with all my resolutions I am doing pretty well with them. I hope to be back sooner rather than later to blog some more!

It's 2009!
Wow... I can't believe it's 2009! I love new beginnings and fresh starts. I only wish that New Years would start on a Monday. I have a list of resolutions, but am too OCD to have tried to start them on a Thursday. The bulk of them will be started tomorrow. My mom, sister, and I have become resolution accountability partners and I am hoping this will help me keep my resolutions and not lose sight of them in just a few weeks. For my blog readers out there here are my resolutions:
Health
Eat out only 2x a week
Walk/run 3x a week
Lower cholesterol before June
Drink 4 cups of water a day
Home
Pick up at the end of each day
Stick to cleaning schedule:
M- Dust
T- Water Plants
W- Empty Trash
R- Clean bathroom/scrub
F-
Sa- Laundry
S- Vacuum, Grocery Shop
Spiritual
Do a daily devotional
Find a new church
Increase prayer time
Career/Job
Use plan time more effectively
Only go up to school 2 weekends or less a month
Clean out supplies in the classroom
Create an effective recording process
Family
See Jenny and the boys at least once a month
See Jeremy at least twice a month
Work daily with Bandit on training
Relationship
Date night twice a month
Spend less time watching TV
Financial
Get savings up to $7500
Open a 403B
Open ING accounts for a ring, camera, and car
Rods paychecks can only go to a savings account
Have a spend-free week once a month
Personal
Only 4 hours of TV on the weekends
Read 2 books a month
Create something once a week
Blog at least 4x a week
Check out that last one! I am really hoping to jump back on the bandwagon and start posting again. I know that I seem to say that about once a month, but with my accountability partners, I hope that they really push me to keep up with it. Thank you to those few who have stuck with me and are still reading this. I love you all!
