Crazy Friday

I like to have things planned. I can be spontaneous but I find it hard because I worry. I am trying to work on it, but I am just such a cautious person...

I had my Friday planned Thursday night. Bring peanut butter balls to school, see old students before their school day began, head over to the gym for 9:15 turbo, 1/2 hour extra cardio/weights, home, shower, pick up pizza and meet friends at school for lunch and then a pedi with Lisa. MY FRIDAY WAS PLANNED!!

And then the phone rang at 7am. (P.S Darren Criss, I love my "One Fine Day" ringtone but I need something more loud and obnoxious...) It's the sub caller. WHAT? It's the 3rd day of school... I was not planning on getting called until at least after Labor Day. Of course I took it, I'd be crazy not to! I have been DYING to get back into the classroom and I need to get my name in the district. So there I am at 7:15 calling my two friends from school letting them know I'll still drop off peanut butter balls but can't do lunch. They were excited for me, I was nervous as allll heck.

I subbed for middle school today. 6th, 7th, and 8th. It was fairly simple. Home Economics. Woo! 8th graders were great! I really enjoyed them. When the 6th graders showed up (I had 3 periods of 6th graders) I got a welcome surprise. A LOT of students that were at the school I student taught at last year were in the class I was subbing for!! It was so exciting! Some highlights:
"oh man, my sister is gonna be so jealous when she finds out you were my sub!"
"miss p! what are you doing here?!"
"miss p is so cool you guys, you don't even know."
"hey miss p! rumor was you were here so I had to pop in to see if it was true!"

I love these kids? They weren't even kids I taught! Just kids that I helped out with after school at homework club, siblings of kids I taught, and kids that I overall just said hello to and they were comfortable enough to ask me for help when they needed it.

I love my job. I can't wait to teach full time. However today I realized that subbing will be a wonderful experience. For instance, as of now, 7th grade... no thank you!

So even though my planned day went down the drain, it still ended up successful (and I got my pedi). I didn't go to the gym... I should have. I know I should have. I just couldn't motivate myself to after getting home. I should have thrown my bag into my car this morning... live and learn.

Tomorrow I am going to see Pinocchio with Cady! I am crazy excited! It looks so good. This also means no work out but... I will be walking around Chicago so it semi-counts. I just know I have to be more conscious of what I eat and Sunday work a little harder. It's worth it!

Still frustrated. I feel like I look the same regardless of how hard I am working out. I know eventually it will pay off. The only decent thing is that I feel like my legs are toning up, still flabby but less flabby than before.

I better get some sleep. I have an 8:25 train to catch!
Also, I am annoyed with everyone making jokes/thinking the song is called "Come on Irene" because of this hurricane. It's "Come on Eileen" and my middle name is greatly offended you can't get it right!

It won't let me post a video tonight. It won't load. Oh well! Also, it keeps showing the time I posted 2 hours behind. How do I fix this?
