Hi Ladies,
It is a wet and cold Fall day here in Ohio. It makes it difficult when you have to leave your room which is in a portable to go to the main building to the office, restroom or gym. Then here in a little bit we need to go to the other building where our cafeteria is. Makes me just want to go home and crawl back in bed and sleep the day away.
Looks like I will have to make a trip into Curves this evening, so I can workout. Since I don't feel like walking outside in the rain.
Melody, we are starting to have early release days this year. We will have them once a month and during that time we will be working on professional development related to rising the achievement scores for our school. The only bad thing about them is that they all take place on Friday's. That is not how I would like to spend my Friday afternoon at school. Glad you got your Walk Away the Pounds tape out and used it. I have all of the ones for Walk Away The Pounds Express (1,2,3 miles), Walk Away The Pounds for the Abs (1,2,3), Walk Strong (2), Walk and Kick(2), Walk and Jog(2), and the 4 mile super challenge. Right now I have only had the time for the 2 mile walks. I do a different one each morning. I think your plan to start out with the one mile and work up is great. Keep it up and you will be doing the 3 mile one in no time.
Trob, so how was your family food fest at your sister's last night? That sounds like a lot of fun. My sisters don't live close by me so we can't do that . Hope your day is going great for you.
Casey glad your schedule change hasn't happened for you yet. Sounds like you have a great working environment. Sounds like you enjoy going the extra mile for the children and teachers. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
Mouse, sorry to hear that your Ed kid is still giving you such fits. I think he is doing it becasue he likes all the attention he is getting. Does he crave the attention be it positive or negative? Sounds like you have been having a busy weekend. I would check into that Wellness program any way and see if there would be any benfit to you doing it. That is just my two cents worth. You can take it or leave it.
Angela, that is great about finding a double stroller. I will keep my fingers crossed and home that it doesn't cost too much for you and you are able to buy it. That would be great when your oldest grows a little bit more and you still want to go for walks.
Ginny, hope your long day is going well for you. Sounds like you are going to be very busy. Hope you are able to find sometime to walk. Remember it helps clear your mind and get that great brain power working. Wishing you lots of luck when you visit the scale fairy tomorrow at WW's.
Pam so how is your week going? How did the Teacher of the Year awards program go the other night? Hope all is well with you.
Hi Robyn. Miss you and have been thinking about you. Come back when you can.
Well ladies, I need to go and eat my lunch before I go to recess duty. Have a great afternoon. Talk to you all later.
For a truly inspiring story, go to General Chatter and check out the Prepared to be Inspired ( this is not a joke) thread. Makes you rethink some of the things we do and why we do them for our students on a daily basis.
Later,
Kerry
