3 months til "I do"

I'm extremely happy that our power did not go out in the crazy weather storm we had on Wednesday, however, our internet wasn't working. {There always seems to be SOMETHING that stops me from blogging on Wednesdays....maybe this is a sign? haha}

So, Wednesday's blog post will get up sometime, trust me, but I'm just not sure quite when!

BUT. Guess what today is?? The EIGHTH! One month down and only THREE months until wedding day! WHAT?! 

Yeah, I'm still not sure how time is going by so quickly these days.  I've had so much fun coming up with these posts for the past couple of months {see here and here for the 2 you may have missed} on the 8th that are about Matt & me to count us down to the big day!

Confessions of a Substitute Teacher

Students think you're downright oblivious and stupid.  Yes, I see you cheating. Yes, I know you know I know. {I didn't lose anyone there, did I?} Yes, I'm leaving a note for your teacher.

Students think you're deaf.  I was in a middle school class several weeks ago, and the students were working on math worksheets.  I had my computer with me and I was checking SubFinder for any recently posted jobs, and I heard across the room, "I don't care...she's just over there playing on her computer anyway." I look up at the kid and said, "Oh, that's all you think I'm doing?" And he said, "Oh, you heard that?" I said, "Yep, sure did." And his response was, "Oh, I guess I better be more careful." Guess who was also a problem student throughout the rest of class?

Students think you're "so much nicer than Ms. So-and-So." Well, I'm sure Ms. So-and-So is also really nice, but when you guys NEVER stop talking, anyone would eventually have to get angry and start marking tallies by your name on the behavior chart. {Yes, I DO know how to fill out the behavior chart.  Your teacher leaves me instructions for everything.}

February Reflection

So, it's currently 11:39 on Friday, March 1, and I am DETERMINED to finish this post, make the graphic, AND get it all up before Saturday! I don't want to miss posting today!

This past month, I made some bittersweet changes:

1) I didn't participate in #fmsphotoaday on Instagram.  If you're unfamiliar with what this is, the account Fmsmumslim creates and posts a list of things/topics to take a picture for each day of the month.  You include the hashtag #fmsphotoaday so everyone else participating can also see your pictures.  Well, from September through January, I had successfully completed each day. {Yes, some days were late, but I got them all up!} For February, I just decided I was tired of worrying over what picture I was going to take and making sure I got it up, no matter how late.
