4/28- We can do "The Innuendo," we can dance and sing, when it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing

Weight Loss for the Week: 1lb

My planning ahead for all meals AND snacks is continuing to work.  I'm glad I'm staying on top of it all and sticking to my points and trying to make them healthier foods instead of so much crap.  I'm also looking into trying a few new workouts to add into my routine- more on that next week.

This week has been almost too busy for words, but in a crazy-awesome way.  School went pretty well this week.  My 9th graders are getting into Night- a number have already finished the book a whole week early :)  My 8th graders are enjoying To Kill a Mockingbird and survived the last bit of standardized testing this week.  And I survived monitoring it, whew. My 10th graders just adored (note the sarcasm here) learning all about MLA citations.  Now, we'll get back to literature and our normal way of things.  There wasn't anything bad, at least not in my classrooms, this week, so I was grateful for that.  I also chaperoned the whole 9th grade (along with four other teachers) on our field trip to the Brooks Art Museum to see the "Black Odyssey" exhibit and they behaved well.  Some liked it, some didn't, but they all liked getting out of the school for a little while.

This past Thursday, I was able to go see the Grizzlies/Clippers Playoffs game at the Fedex Forum in a suite thanks to my wonderful father.  A friend of his let me have four tickets for the game.  It was such a cool experience. We had an absolute blast going to the game and watching the Grizzlies win!  The suite was so pimp- great food, free drinks, comfy seats, and an fabulous, unobstructed view :)  It was the ultimate Girls' Night Out, I must say.

Last night was Prom for my school. All the teachers helped chaperone.  It was so cute to see all the students dressed up and enjoying themselves.  The girls were lovely in their formal dresses and the boys were handsome in their suits and tuxedos.  They looked more like adults than students which was both amusing and scary. The event space was really nice and well-decorated.  The students all seemed to have a really good time, and so did the teachers.

Today, I had a nice brunch with Mom and Memaw.  Then, I went to a baby shower for my friend and got to ooh and aah over so many tiny baby clothes and baby things.  It was a nice way to finish off the weekend before heading home to never-ending pile of grading and all the prepping and planning for the week ahead.

Now, to finish all that fun stuff :)
