I'm done!

After a very refreshing and relaxing weekend, I woke up this morning to absolute flam. It sure looked pretty from my window, and I naively thought, "Oh, I'll just brush the snow off my car and head merrily down the road." After 10 minutes of ice-picking my car in the blowing cold and snow, I headed down the bobsled course, perhaps more commonly known as I-15. After taking twice as long to get to school as normal (but thankfully coming nowhere near to dying), I started class only partially discombobulated. (Praise the heavens I already had today's lesson planned and an AMAZING copy lady to get me my copies ASAP!) I'm SO done with the cold and the snow; I cannot eloquently put my hatred and disgust into words. Perhaps I'm hoping it's a bargain the Lord and I are making--Suffer through this cold, Haylee, and June 17th will be the most beautiful day in the history of beautiful days. But there's not much I can do about the snow right now, so I will stop complaining . . . at least mostly.



But back to my fantastic weekend--low-key describes it perfectly. On Friday night I made Parmesan chicken (it's the first real meal I've cooked in about two weeks--poor Allan! It's been a long, stressful two weeks!), and Allan and I watched Pride and Prejudice.



On Saturday, I woke up at 10:30 in the blessed A.M., cleaned my house, went with Allan to get a baby shower present, and then went to Allan's sister's baby shower. Afterwards, Allan and I went to Target and registered. We went to his house: he made dinner, I sat on the couch and watched Cars. Then, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bought a comforter and pillow shams for his--our--bed. I'd had my eye on this comforter since we registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and we just decided to go get it ourselves for two main reasons: 1) It was going on clearance and might not be there in two months; 2) it was a little bit of a pricier item (but did that stop me from putting other extravagant items on there? Not so much!). We returned to the house, put the comforter on the bed, put the comforter back in the bag, and finished watching Cars.



Church was great (although I did have an early ward counsel meeting), and after church, I fell asleep and took a three hour nap. Allan and I read a little bit, made dinner, and played some games.



It was such an enjoyable weekend. For the past two weeks I've been stressed about the end of the term (getting grades done and submitted, not killing children, etc.) and about science fair. But, thankfully, the term is over and science fair is too. We did extremely well at science fair! We have three projects going to the international fair, we won seven 1st places, one 2nd place, and three 3rd places, and a long list of other special awards.



Spring break is in two weeks, I'm getting married in 78 days . . . really, life couldn't be better! =)



(Except for the snow. I'm done with the snow.)

Holy Flam!

A friend and I decided today we should stop saying the word "crap." It is something I've needed to do for a while. But if we were going to rid the word "crap" from our vocabulary, we decided we needed a replacement. And so we searched the internet dictionaries and thesauruses and came up with:

Flam!

Join the movement! Say no to "Holy crap!" and say yes to "Holy flam!" =)

21 March

Today is the last day of term 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 45 more school days to go!

And only 15 more school days until spring break!

Hallelujah!

New Post!

Let me explain . . . No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

• I got sick with some bizarre sore throat, cough, achy nastiness. It wasn't bacterial, unfortunately, and I suffered through it. Allan made me soup and crackers, though, and it was great. And we watched Lost season 2.
• I owe the federal and state governments $685 in taxes. Don't ask. I cried for like two days straight. Poor Allan!
• District science fair went well. 19 of our 22 projects are moving on to the regional fair. Hooray!
• There are only 92 more days until June 17. And in case you can't put two and two together, that's 92 days until I get married!
• The end of the term is this Friday. I have a mound of grading. But thanks to Allan and Alisyn, I've got some good help.
• I'm sick of the cold.
• Allan's 27th birthday was on the 13th. I made a turkey breast in the crock pot and potatoes. We had a big party on Friday the 14th with his friends and such. It was fun.
• I took the 14th off because if I didn't, there would have been carnage in my classroom. If one more kid asked me "Why did I get a zero [for the assignment I didn't turn in]?" or "Why do I have a no grade [because I can never get to class on time]?" I was going to kill someone. So, I slept until 9:00am and cleaned Allan's house. I have decided that I like to clean. It is very therapeutic. And it's always nice to see the end result.
• Thanks to Allan and his very fine skills, I now have an updated blog design with links to all of your blogs (just for you, Al).
• Allan and I reserved our honeymoon stuff--we're going to Disneyland, and I am SUPER excited.
  
• Regional science fair is next week. I'm a little stressed. The kids need to pull together their projects. We need to win, and we need to win big.
• I'm tired.

So, my friends, there is my update. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed.

I'll post . . . soon

The last couple of weeks have been crazy. I've been sick, there was district science fair, I had a class at the U . . . I have enough grading to last me until the Millenium . . .



I'll really post . . . maybe Saturday?
