1) grocery shopping so I don't keep eating like crap
2) Cadbury creme eggs
3) Amazing students who love doing academic things

1) DayQuil
2) hugs from hubby after a long, hard day
3) helpful, supportive parents of my students

I've really been slacking on things this week.  Without going into the gory details, work was really rough this week.  I would like to post three things though, from the past few days, just because I really need it right now.

1) My friends and all the people I have that are SO supportive of me
2) Seeing the Cleveland skyline driving home at night
3) sunshine

I took the weekend off

It's was Valentine's Day, our half anniversary for when we started dating, and a long President's Day weekend, so I definitely did not spend much time on the computer.  JR and I had a fun and mostly relaxing weekend together.  It was just what I needed - especially after Friday.

Friday I got some disappointing/frustrating news. I found out that it is very likely that my district will be doing a reduction in forces at the end of the year.   Friday I found out that my position is on the list of 12 that could possibly be cut.  I knew that this could be coming but it still makes it hard to hear.  In the meantime I'm going to keep my head up and apply for any jobs in my area that I can find.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Three things for the whole weekend...
1) The Tudors
2) QT with my hubby
3) Meeting a Sarah who looked eerily like me

We're going down...

I hate to admit it, but I am all about the latest One Republic song, "All the Right Moves."

1) Sleeping in thanks to snow days!
2) Spaghetti w/ garlic bread
3) Good knee news

Good news about the knee today!  I have a fairly common problem with it called soft knee.  Basically, from what I understand, it's an inflammation of the cartilage under my knee cap.  To fix it I have to ice it, take ibuprofen, and do these exercises to strengthen my quads (to take stress off my knee cap).  Yay for it not being a major problem!

1) Pringles Stix
2) Vintage wool skirts
3) Crosswords

So the snow has started to come down.  I'm hoping the drive home isn't too bad, but I'll put up with it if it means I have a snow day tomorrow.  I am REALLY hoping for one because I go to see the orthopedic physician tomorrow about my knee.  It hasn't been hurting so much, but I want to go get this checked out so I don't become Mrs. Hobble-Along any time again soon.  We got JR registered for school yesterday - YAY!  He's so cute when he gets excited about going back.  He tries to play it off, I think.  I know he'll do well and I'm so proud of him for doing this.  That's all that is really going on here in snowy Ohio.  Maybe something interesting will happen this afternoon for my to post about.  Probably not though :)

1) Paying off a credit card
2) Seeing JR excited about going back to school
3) Getting halfway done with another awesome PowerPoint
and a BONUS... getting Valentine's presents for my hubby!

Here's hoping for a snow day this week, and answers at the doctor's on Wednesday!

1) Making my Grandma Russel's taco dip and remembering her
2) Getting the DS away from JR long enough to play Professor Layton for a bit
3) Super Bowl commercials

Yesterday...

1) Hangouts with good friends
2) Big Guy's Pizza
3) NOT getting the loads of snow that everyone else did
