200+ Haulin' Off The Weight
Replies
-
Checking in for Tuesday & Wednesday~ Tuesday: 2089 calories burned/ 1293 calories consumed/ 796 calorie deficit. Wednesday: 1920 calories burned/ 1468 calories consumed/ 452 calorie deficit. I haven't gotten much movement the last 2 days but I've kept a decent calorie deficit going and I got enough sleep to help me get over whatever funky illness I've had for the past couple of days.
Annette: Hi there!
Bobbie: True Blood vampires are not sparkly.
Pam: Isn't it funny how we never get over some of the toys we couldn't have as a kid? I always wanted one of those bouncing balls too - so I ordered one. Yay for being a grown-up!!!
Hosanna: I LOVE your poem!! I also love that you're planning travel adventures- I LOVE traveling!!!
Victoria: I'm excited to see the Hobbit when it comes out. I'm sorry you're feeling sick. I'd get my hair done, if I were you. Actually, I just DID color my hair this past weekend as I have THREE new grey hairs.
Lacey: Why don't you make your own hummus? That's what I do. It's a can of garbanzo beans, 3 Tbsp or the garbanzo bean liquid (or tap water if u forget and dump the liquid before you remember that you need it, like I ALWAYS do), 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp tahini, 2 tsp minced garlic (or more, if u like that), and half a tsp of salt all ground together in a food processor or with an immersion blender. You can also add roasted red peppers or whatever floats your boat and it is AWESOME!!!!!
Hailie: That co-worker sounds like a tool.
Katheryne: I think I'd be mad at The Hubbs too if he did that to me. I would imagine that your DH is a bit sensitive about the infertility since it seems to be a problem with his plumbing. I am so sorry for you, I hope things are looking better today.
Well, I don't know how I did but I got my 3 finals out of the way this morning. I went to bed early last night and got some really quality sleep and I woke up this morning feeling about 99%. I'm hoping to get some exercise in today and get back to feeling back to normal.0 -
Good morning... Great job Amy!!! WTG on the finals. Hallie - will you be posting your senior pics? Hossana - I love the poem. that's all I can remember. I've been banned from using home Internet since DH is working from home and needs all the bandwidth. At least I have my phone.
I've never really worn heels. Last year I bought a pair of sandals with 1" heel that I love. I've dreamed of getting stilettos but I'm afraid I'd break an ankle.0 -
KRISTINA---WHERE ARE YOU GIRL!?!?! I DON'T CARE IF YOU AREN'T LOGGING FOOD OR EXERCISING, YOU BETTER COME BACK!!! *CRACK WHIP* (I say if she hasn't posted something other than the weigh ins by Saturday, we all bombard her via mfp and facebook and tell her to get her butt back on this board!
)
Victoria- lurking/posting on mfp hardly uses any amount of bandwidth. DH should share
And it seems like a lot of our monthly cycles are syncing up, so I don't see why we can't get sick from each other too. lol
Amy- yay for the finals being done and feeling better!
Bobbie- TB is more sex and violence, especially compared to Twilight. But it has EXCELLENT story lines involving witches, werewolves, shape shifters, and fairies. Without giving too much away, a Japanese company created a synthetic blood that can keep vampires alive so they "came out" in public and don't have to hide anymore.
Hosanna- that is an awesome poem!! I
it
Hallie- sorry for the jerk at work. someone needs to tell him it's a JOB and he doesn't always get to do what he wants to do!
Katheryne- sorry the hubbs is being super sensitive about his boys not performing. I can totally understand your emotions though.
As for me, I did go to the gym yesterday, but didn't work out. I had my "Design your workout" class thing. The other 2 women didn't show up so it was me and the dood. He was cute. A small muscular dood, but cute. And I think he was pretty impressed when I told him what all I've done. He didn't tell me too much that I didn't know already. He set up a workout plan to do A/B Days. A Days I do cardio and a full body strength workout (Chest, Shoulders, Back and Legs) and B Days I do more cardio and Abs. He showed me a weight machine or two that I had never seen before.
I'm a little irked cause I was only over by 30-some calories yesterday, I was way under on sodium, but I'm +.8 from yesterday's weight. I will be going to the gym tonight, so hopefully I will have a good weigh in this week.0 -
Bobbie - I'm actually going to Europe for work and taking about fiv-six days in between stops to do some vacation travel. Its the only way I'd ever be able to afford to go to Europe right now, so I will take it. So Italy for five days for work, then Paris for play, then Bruges for three days, one for work. All of the places I am sure I will have time to play but Italy is major, I have to network like a mad woman and get some busnass done. Thats why I buy cheap clothes for the most part right now too..int he hopes I won't have to wear them too long..
So my iphone has been disabled so I can use this stupid effing crackberry until I get back from my trip because the verizon iphone doesn't have global capabilities. Sniff. I hate it.LOL.
Amy - yeay for feeling better. I actually did make my own hummus when my emerald valley ran out..thats what I'm out of. Double sniff. lol.
Hosanna -c ute poem, I like it!
Katherynne - I'd be upset by that too, I'm so sorry.
Okay I gotta get in the shower and figure out how to turn off the freaking notifications on that stupid phone, its pinging every minute or so and I don't even have my emails incoming on it yet!0 -
I am purposely skipping over all of the True Blood talk because I'm way behind (I just got season 3 from Netflix, so I need to watch that first). I plan to watch it while doing my treadmill time, but right now I'm in the middle of rewatching all of the Ally McBeal episodes via streaming Netflix.
I made a yummy frittata last night for dinner and it turns out that I had enough left over for today's breakfast AND tomorrow's breakfast for both me and the bf both. I always love it when that happens with leftovers. In case you're curious, here's the recipe I went off of (though I changed/added a some different veggies):
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/colorful-frittata/detail.aspx
Speaking of food, Amy, you have introduced me to SO MUCH good food. I'm definitely going to try making my own hummus now! It sounds delicious, and probably has a lot less salt than the pre-made kinds too. Yum. Thanks again! Also, yay for finishing 3 finals! I bet that feels like a weight lifted off you.
Hailie, let's see those senior pics!
Hosanna, great poem! If you guys have lived together for awhile I'd bet that most people will give you money anyway. I'm going to a wedding next week where the couple has lived together for awhile, so I'm giving them money as well as a "gifts for your new kitchen" box in which I'm putting preserves I've made, that great Peas and Thank You cookbook that Amy turned me on to, and some West Virginia honey peach moonshine that they can drink while cooking if they'd like to. :drinker: Also, about the measuring -- I haven't had luck with that either. I've gone down in my pants size so I KNOW I've lost inches, but when I measure it shows that I've lost hardly any. I don't know what's up with that.
Katheryne, I'm sorry about the hubby...I agree with Amy, he's probably feeling sensitive about the fact that it's his "fault" and he doesn't know how to deal with that. Hopefully he'll get over that feeling soon and do whatever it takes to help your situation.
Bobbie, "sparkly crap," ha! I love it!
Lacey, I totally just bought a super bouncy ball. YAY!!
I'm sorry, I know I missed people but I'm STILL trying to dig my way out of work that piled up while I was off visiting with the parents. I'll check in again later....have a great day, everyone!0 -
Working and lurking tonight. I hate this place. I just want to get a new job and get the heck out of here!
Pleh. Oh well, six and a half hours to go. Then isaac picks me up and we drive to his mums place for the weekend. Yay!0 -
Well in 30 days of MFP I have acomplished the following:
1. Made some great friends and support
2. I have lost 0 lbs, but I have also gained 0 lbs
3. I have lost 0 inches, but I have gained 0 inches.
4. I have gone to the gym more days than I have not
5. I have had bad days, but I've moved past them and made them into learning days.
I know that I want to be at goal before I am 30. Why? 30 seems so pivital for me. I want to be in a career, not just a job. I want to be making the money I know I deserve. I want to be that FIT mom on the sidelines and not the fat mom. I want that year (10 years with my husband - not married, but with him) to be the year I give him the girl he met back.
I have 717 days until my 30th birthday. That is 102 weeks. So, if I just lose 1.5 lbs a week I will make it. I WILL MAKE IT!0 -
Oh em gee, it smells like a giant car fire in Houston. Friggin' wild fires... eating up our forests and ruining lives and making the world smell awful and the air unbreathable.
Lacey, I have a similar lack of hummus problem. And I'm out of cheese.
FYI, in this month's InStyle magazine Alexander Skarsgard is the "man of style" featured. A-yum.
Had a total crap eating day yesterday and the scale was down this morning. Wahfuh?
Hosanna, that poem was super cute.0 -
Megan - I shop the same way. Clearances are my best friend. VERY few things are worth paying full price for, imo. I'd definitely like to join ideeli!! Also, so getting Nerd a jumping ball for Christmas! :P Thank you for that.
Katheryne - I loved my Skip-It too! I wish I had room to jump rope, honestly. Glad to know there's someone in the same boat as me, calorie-wise, too.
Hailie - Sorry about the new guy. Sometimes they can be the worst - especially teenage boys. Geesh. Yay for senior pictures, though! I'm going to see if my baby brother will let me do his for him... I hope I don't screw them up somehow!
Victoria - I say hair. :P Only because I LOVE hair dye.
Hosanna - That's an outstanding poem!
Bobbie - I refuse to ruin the magic of radio for most people, don't worry. :P I always feel bad when we bring little kids down for a tour and they realize it's not how they imagined.
Amy - Hahahaha your "True Blood vampires are not sparkly" reminded me of the conversation my baby brother (who is a senior in high school) and I had this morning about some girls at his school comparing him to Edward Cullen. I was thoroughly unimpressed, and he told me "yea, being a vampire is the new cool these days. edward cullen is like being called justin beieber...." I adore my little brother and his lack of desire to be a cookie cutter.
I didn't walk yesterday. My knee was screaming at me, so I'll walk again tonight since it's a little less growly today. My boss is gone for most of today, out of town with my coworker doing sales, and for some reason it feels like I should get more done while he's gone than I ever do when he's around (which is not much, but no one honestly cares). I never understand that feeling... it's not like he expects me to be productive. Maybe I'll work on redesigning our website or something... or maybe I'll just knit.0 -
Hello lovelies, I just wanted to say hi. Work is effing swamped and I don't have time to catch up, but know I'm thinking about you all.
5 mile run later for me today!
Hopefully I'll be able to catch up soon!0 -
Kerry: Hi there!!!:flowerforyou:
Jessi: I don't get "kids today" - Justin Bieber looks like a 14 year old girl and Edward Cullen is way to Emo for my tastes and what on EARTH is up with boys wearing skinny pants?!?!?!? (I realize that all this makes me sound old, but when I look at the youth today and I don't "get it" I feel old) I send you a link to ideeli.
Nava: Your mention of Alexander Skarsgard reminded me of something The Hubbs said while we were watching True Blood last week - he said, "If I put that weird little circle accent mark thingy on my name, will that make me a hot Norwegian too?" I said, "If only it were that easy." :laugh:
Rikki: You've got a great goal and plenty of time to make your goal...keep at it girl!!!!
Hosanna: It so sucks to work at a job you hate. :flowerforyou:
Pam: I'm so glad that you like the food I've introduced you to. I seriously good food and I am not willing to let losing weight get in the way of that love.
Lacey: It's getting closer...yay!!!!
Kendal: 30 calories over ain't no thang!! You did good, lady!!!
Victoria: Did you get your hair did??
I am seriously addicted to these scones: http://www.theppk.com/2007/07/bikram-baking-ginger-chocolate-chunk-scones/ I made them with half wheat pastry flour and half white flour and then I added crystallized ginger chunks to the batter and they were freaking AWESOME. I can't keep The Kid or The Hubbs out of them. I know that ginger and chocolate don't sound like they go together, but trust me - they SO do!0 -
Well, continuing the sage of the veggie-phobic husband, I guess he realized exactly how angry I was at him. Last night I made chicken (my go-to protein) and brussel sprouts. I love them, after greens (spinach, kale, poke, mustard--any kind of green) they are my fav. He hates them. The only veggies he likes are potatoes, broccoli, and beans. Usually I end up making broccoli with every meal just to have a green veggie that we both like. Last night, I didn't give a hoot. I do all the cooking, I'm in a pissy mood, I'll cook whatever the hell I want to cook. Anyway, while I munching away happily at my brussel sprouts, straight from the bowl, I didn't even bother with putting any on the plate, he voluntarily ate about five of them. He had the most horrible look on his face with every chew but he didn't say a word. Brussel sprouts without a complaint, he either loves me or the world is scheduled to end sometime today. and I must say, watching that pathetic grimmace at the taste of a brussel sprout went a long way to eliviating my poor mood.
I'm such a Bad wife, i should not get joy from my husband's pain--even if i don't think much pain was actually involved.
In other news I found a recipe for carrot pumpkin bars that I can't wait to try--i thought all you pumpkin lovers might enjoy...

I messaged Lacey to find you guys.
I'm back with the motivation to lose this weight once and for all... And hoping my first smart phone with the fancy MFP app will help me - in fact, it already has! I'll be following this one ' til the next challenge starts and join in. 0 -
Yeay for Parisan food tour!!!! I feel like I should bring you all some chocolate back or something but don't want to hurt your weight loss plans!
Crystal welcome back!0 -
Speaking of good food..has anyone found anything super good on foodgawker lately? Im like five days behind on that site right now and its KILLING Me. Killing me, I tell ya.0
-
Katheryne, awwww, he ate brussel sprouts for you? That's a step in the right direction!
Welcome back, Crystal!
Lacey, maybe you could just post pictures of the chocolate for us. 0 -
Quick post- daughter hassling for the computer.
Amy: glad you finished your finals and you feeling better - when do the results come out? Oh, and when I buy tahini going to try that houmous - as yet have been unable to find a home made one I like so fingers crossed.
Vicotria: what won - the run or the hair??
Rikki: love your list of accomplishments - grat way of looking at things that WILL get you to your goal
Crystal: welcome back - I too have missed this challenge but am keeping in touch ready to join the next
Hailie: missed your post re 'boy thing'. Hope you okay?
As for me - completed day 8 of 30DS today - can't decide whether to stay on this for whole 30 days or whether you have to move up levels to 'get the most' from the programme. Also, did hour's curcuits on Tuesday - following which I was a mumbling fool - totally unfit for anything. The body is also whining in the mornings now, wanting to stay in the comfort of the soft bed - I is soooorrre xx0 -
I am at work. All day. I work at a health club. I am eating everything in sight. Help me!
Oh, and I am tired, crabby, and have a migrane. Plus, I have to deal with the PIA guy who is a tool at work. Yayyyyy for Thursday!0 -
Hair won. It's been 3.5 mOnths since I had my hair done.0
-
Victoria- hair needs a work out too....yeay for getting hair done!
Amy and Annette - here is my spicy hummus recipe:
1 can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
1/4 cup of crushed tomatoes
cilantro
chile powder
cayenne powder
garlic clove or two
salt & pepper
1-2 tbsp olive oil
jalapeno if I happen to have one
lemon juice 1/4 of a lemon
maybe a squirt of honey if its too harsh tasting (makes the flavors combine and softens it)
Generally I start out with the evoo and lemon juice and then add more to thin it down.
I don't add tahini, its like one of those things that I ONLY would use for hummus and it goes bad too quick for me.
I have a tension headache.0 -
Oh and Annett - if it ain't broke don't fix it...if you are still getting sore from level 1, stay with it until you don't any more. PS - any further thoughts of coming over to Paris for the day in two weeks?0
-
Amy - Thanks for the invite!
Lacey - I'm not much for foodgawker. Personally, I'm a tastespotting kinda girl. I do LOVE food though....
I'm struggling to stay awake today. I skipped breakfast because I forgot I had an appointment at 8 and woke up at 7:50, so then WAY overcompensated for lunch. So glad I get to go get real food tomorrow! I'm going to be baking this weekend, too, because even though it's still warm here, somehow my mind is convinced it's fall, and I just NEED to bake. Good thing I've got lots of people I can feed....0 -
Jessi - its funny how the way a website looks can affect whether you use it or not. Foodgawker - black background, tastespotting- white. Do you know if the posts are the same on both or different bloggers? I'd love to have a foodblog but So don't have time for one and also can't take food pics worth a crap, I've tried.
However, I did find this recipe that I will be using for the tritip in my fridge so we can eat it tomorrow:
http://afoodcentriclife.com/flank-steak-with-ginger-balsamic-marinade/0 -
Lacey - I know that they sometimes have the same recipes, but they have separate owners. A lot of people like to submit to both which is understandable. When we get into a place with a kitchen I actually enjoy, it's likely I'll start a food blog - I particularly love food photography, and I do enjoy cooking and baking to the point where my ultimate goal is to have a bakery of my own one day. Right now I just blog quite opinionatedly about a lot of parenting and family issues, for the most part.
I'm trying to watch the documentary Ingredients, but I'm so sneezy and nauseated that I'm not really getting into it. I think it might just be nap time.0 -
Check in for Thursday: 2567 calories burned/ 2152 calories eaten/ 415 calorie deficit. Those danged ginger chocolate scones got me yesterday - I could NOT stop eating them. So, while I was under my calories, I really didn't eat very well and was low on fiber yesterday. Today will be better.
Jessi: I wish I could take good pictures of food. I love cooking and sharing recipes but my photography skills kind of suck. And it IS Fall, dangit!! I've been making fall foods for a week now. I love pumpkin anything and I made a fabulous pumpkin cranberry risotto last night for dinner - so seriously YUM!
Lacey: Thanks for the hummus recipe! The Hubbs asked if it was the best idea for people trying to lose weight to do a "food tour" of Paris...I mostly just smacked him. Hells yes it's alright!
Victoria: Yay for getting your hair done!!
Hailie: I hope you are feeling better, it sounds like you had a crap day yesterday. :flowerforyou:
Annette: I'm with Lacey, stay at Level 1 until it's too easy for you. I guess I get my results whenever the college gets around to grading them...I'm hoping for Monday maybe.
Crystal: Hi there!!! It's good to have you back with us!!!!!
Katheryne: Wow! He ate Brussels sprouts for you...that's pretty major for a dude that doesn't like veggies. I don't know if I could get MY Hubbs to eat those things and he IS a vegetarian (well...mostly...until he's seduced by someone's BBQ) Those carrot pumpkin bars look RIGHT up my alley...yum!!!
I weighed in today but I'm gonna give myself a couple of days to see if the numbers look better. I've been below my calories all week but my scale is showing me UP and I don't even have PMS or anything to blame it on.
I got a bunch of my ideeli orders yesterday (yay! it was like freaking Christmas up in here). One of the things I got was this super-cute black and yellow dress that I got for $15 and ordered in a size 10 to make it my "goal dress". Just for *kitten* s and giggles I tried it on and I can ALMOST get it zipped!!! I like having a goal outfit, it gives me something tangible to shoot for.
Have a great Friday my lovelies!!!!!0 -
Good Friday Morning to you all. Have just taken The Dog to vets - temperature slightly back up - but this could be because we walked there. More blood tests taken to see if pancreatic enzymes back down and more anti-bs. He is soooo much happier (and naughty!!!) and very much enjoying home cooked food, ahlf my trolley yesterday was filled with items just for him!!!!! Waiting game now so fingers crossed.
Lacey: thanks for hummus recipe - bought some tahini yesterday so will be trying both recipes in the near future - hopefully!! Really do need to crack this cooking thing. Hope your head ache eased - at times like that I find a warm, scented bath with candles, followed by bed with a hottie usually helps tremendously. Re Paris - when I spoke with the family degree of shock transmitted from both was almost palpable. Through discussions held, however, it became evident that Amy was seeing the situaTion very much as 'YOU INTEND TO MEET WITH PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW, WHOM YOU HAVE ONLY SPOKEN TO ON THE INTERNET?' With all the work we have done re keeping safe - including things not to do - it became impossible to find a way out. If it had just been the shock that this is not something 'Annette/Mummy does', I would have dealt with it. The fact that Amy is very black and white in her views curently I decided I need to give the best example. However, what this does means is that some point I will trip to America/Germany - or whereever any of you are if/when we see this thing through. I am very disappointed but sometimes this has to be.
Amy: Can't believe youi may get yuor results as quickly as Monday - here you would expect to wait months. Prayers are with you - have every belief you will have done well.
Amy/Lacey: thanks for comments re 30DS - having posted yesterday saying that I was still v sore, today, very sdddenly, I am not so perhaps that was more to do with circuits on Tuesday. Looks like I can't avoid it so level two, here I come...
Jessie: what a great goal to have in mind - cooking with photography and sharing it. Where do you post re parenting/family?
Victoria: am pleased, somohow, that the hair 'won'. Think it was the way you described it that indicated this was what you really wanted?
Kendal: well done for getting abck into the exercise - it is time to kick some butt!!
Hope - don't think I welcomed you back - hope you feeling better and 'welcome'.
Kristina and Sarah: WHERE ARE YOU?????
xx0 -
Annette: Sometimes it's hard to explain things like that to kids. I'd never think it was ok for The Kid to meet up with someone he met on the Interwebz but I have a bit more faith in my ability to keep myself safe in such situations. We'll miss meeting you, but I totally understand your decision.
So, I've made a return to the treadmill and my "running" playlist on my iPod. The Nickelback song: If Today Was Your Last Day popped up on my iPod today and I forgot how much I LOVE that song. It's my theme song, I think. If you don't know it, you should listen to it - it's pretty inspirational. Here's some of the lyrics that inspire me:
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
I really like the ENTIRE song, but I thought it would be a bit weird to post all the lyrics here (and it would take up A LOT of room).
Most of you guys know that I had a near-death experience in 2009 with blood clots and then again with a tumor in my chest (2009 was a BAD year for me). The whole thing REALLY changed my perspective on EVERYTHING. I could have left behind a 5 year old child who never really got to know me and only ever knew the fat and sick mom he had at the time. There's so many things I would have missed out on in life because I wasn't really living the life I had at the time. That all changed the second I was admitted into the hospital and the doctor told me, "You SHOULD be dead right now." No sugar coating, nothing...I should have died and I didn't. There was no way I was gonna continue my non-life. When I got out of the hospital, I started walking and making better choices with food and got a doctor who knew how to deal with my fibromyalgia without drugging me with carcinogens.
It's been about 2 years since I "should have been dead" and I really DO live every day as if it were my last. I love the hell out of my family (yeah, I'm pretty a embarrassing mom - whatevs, dood, The Kid almost didn't have a mom at all, he can deal with a hug or 10 in public!!!), I think nothing of dropping everything and going on an adventure and I spend a lot of time improving my health and fitness to make sure that today ISN'T my last day.
So that was my long and drawn out deep-thinking for the day. What song inspires you??0 -
Drive-by weigh-in this morning: 316.2
Amy, I love so many songs, I will really have to think on ONE that inspires me. Hopefully, I'll be able to narrow it down later.0 -
Oh, wow....7 pages....I'll have to take tonight to catch up with everyone! I've been slacking! Eep!
BUT....it's been to play with my Wii Fit Plus at night! Hee hee! Lots of fun! And it's doing me some good! It showed me 220 when we brought it home on Monday....this morning...216.3!! And my boys & even the hubby have made profiles & are playing the games...so this winter, maybe we won't all gain 10 lbs! (not that it would hurt the boys at ALL!) Melodie wanted to play, but I just don't trust her not to jump on the balance board, so it's been a challenge to dodge her while playing.
)
And work...yeah, well, I think my boss has some kind of Dr Jekyll/My Hyde syndrome. So I've not had a chance to get on here at work. We moved desks, and the responsibilities with the desk I'm at are much larger. We rotate every 3-4 months, so nobody gets burned out doing more/dealing with the public/etc. But, now I won't have as much time to be on here, esp as in less than 2 mo, we have one girl going on maternity...and we don't get a temp b/c the city manager makes Scrooge look like someone who wastes money!
House paperwork is going slow, but I'm packing what I can when I can, so that when it's time to work on the house, I won't have to worry about packing!) Hopefully we'll get to close earlier than 9/22, but for some reason, I doubt it. *sigh* (In fact, packing last weekend is what made me lose my log-in streak on here...I was too tired to do it!)
Mellie was completely healed...then the miralax kicked in. We're keeping the fun of that at bay, but the Dr can kiss my hiney, I'm only giving her that stuff every other day. She's going, and she'll keep going & going & going...but at least the cream they gave us keeps her from getting too bad. Not like before. But enough that she's not happy when she goes. *sigh*
OK, I PROMISE, I will make myself stay up & read & respond to all of you WONDERFUL ladies tonight! Really! *hugs* B/C you're all so awesome!0 -
Annette: This was from Wednesday re 'boys problems'......Last night was the first night of lessons. First off, I freakin' love my job. I get paided almost $11/hour and also when the kids come up to me to give me hugs in the summer while life guarding to tell me I am one of their favorite teachers it makes me smile and makes me know I 'rock' at what I do if they remember me. Second off, (venting now) I was a newbie last school year but now I know what the heck to do. NOBODY on staff like Parent/Child classes (Mommy-N-Me) because it is H E L L having the parents in the water at the exact freakin' time as their kids while you are teaching. Well, the new guy realized he got PC class and he THREW A FIT! WTF you're 16...grow up! He just started, therefore, it goes by seniority and since he is the newbie get gets the PC class. We have a schedule with all the classes. It is an excel type of sheet with the classes then our names above the sections. Each night we all have 3-5 classes 30-45 minutes long. So my boss gives up a "section" and sometimes she will "flip" the classes on the schedule. Meaning, the two instructors teach the other class going on instead of the one they were schedule with. (when parents sign up they don't know what instructor they are getting.) so, my boss drew a <----> between the PC class and other preschool class going on at the same time. The 16 year old THREW A FIT because he thought I drew the arrow. (he knows we all HATE the PC class.) Suck it up idiot. Gosh, and he complains how much he hates the place, shut up and quit. I am sorry mommy and daddy pay everything for you.
Amy said it best, he is a tool.
Kendal: Exactly how I feel in terms of a job.
Hosanna: Epic poem!
Pam: I got my book, but I haven't the digital proofs yet to put on here, facebook, etc. because they only allow you to have four out of 60 in the book of proofs. boo.
Jessi: I do not like teenage guys in general.
Kerry: Don't die with too much work! :flowerforyou:0
