Things That Must Go: Sleeping In

Okay friends, it's time to make a confession: I have a problem. I have gotten back in the habit of sleeping in.

I know, I know...shameful. I am working on it. Two days last week, I was actually EARLY to work! WAHOOO! Let's not talk about the rest of the days.

I know where the problem is: SNOOZING. Seriously, I get the best sleep after my alarm goes off. It's like the alarm triggers my body to instantly fall asleep. Weirdest darn thing ever.

Here's the biggest problem with sleeping in: my reputation. I am not a late person...but this sleeping in is starting to make me look like one! Also, lots of great things happen when you get up early (Being at the Farmer's Market early, working out and then having the rest of the Saturday to do what you want, and the peacefulness of the morning.)

So, now that I have confessed, I am committing to only 3 snoozes (instead of my average of 10-20), I am committing to wake up early on Saturdays (and Sundays), and I will be to work on time everyday next week (and hopefully subsequent weeks as well).

Go ahead and ask me about it. The answer will be "YES, I did it!"

(((Opinion Poll))) - New Bedroom Colors

So, I am thinking of changing the colors of my room. I love the colors in the above pille (and I love style of the pillow.) Anyway, I am thinking fall-ish colors. Also, add in a gold-ish brown-ish yellow. I need opinions!

*if you want to get this pillow yourself, check out Pottery Barn. It's the "anne marie" bedding collection.

Kids Say The Dardest Things

I substituted Primary today, the 4 & 5 year old class. Oh, how adorable. Seriously, the cutest 3 girls. I love being in Primary, it feel so natural and lovely.

So, in class "M" volunteered to say the opening prayer, see if you can pick out my favorite parts:

Dear Heavenly Father
Thank we can be here today
Thank that my Aunt & Uncle live together
although sometimes my Aunt lives with her boyfriend
Thank that my Grandpa feels better
Thank that mine and my sister's livers are okay
(this is where I then whispered "thank you for letting us come to primary")
Thank you for letting us come to primary
(again I whispered "thank you for the prophet")
("M" whispers "I know how to say prayers by myself")
Thank for Jesus
In the name of Jesus Christ
Amen

I was laughing so hard...but only on the inside.

The rest of class made me want to record our conversations...
Seriously, so funny.

Oh, and I have been called as a PERMANENT substitute teacher in the Primary. Yay!

Thoughts of School

School, school, schmool.

I started my MBA program and already have one class done. YAY! Okay, so it's not really done, we will have several more assignments due throughout the semester. But still...I don't have to go to that class anymore.

Here are some things I have realized since I started my program.
1. I need to exercise a lot more if I am going to have enough energy to do school and work fulltime.
2. I love being back in school. LOVE IT.
3. I may not be as smart as I think I am.
4. I can study AND I can don't really mind reading textbooks. (This is HUGE because for my bachelors I didn't really study a lot and I think I only read 1 text book completely...the rest I may have read a chapter or so.)
5. Graduate level classes are completely different than my undergraduate classes...they are more about applying the concepts to work we actually do right now. I LOVE IT.
6. I may have forgotten how to juggle all the things I have to do each day...this could get really bad.
7. I am, surprisingly, okay with with the sacrifices I have to make right now to get through school.
8. I don't know if everyone affected by my sacrifices is okay with them.
9. I hate campus parking. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
10. I am one of those people who wants to share what they learned in class with other people. Which kind of makes me a little boring...I will try harder to only share interesting stuff.
11. I need to remember to not neglect my blog...I have millions of things stuffed in my head that I want to share.

All in all, even though school is kind of kicking my trash right now...I love it.
