Thursday thaaaannnnggggsssss

Happy Rainy, Foggy, Muggy Thursday to all! 

 

I hope you are having a great week, however its been rainy and muggy like I don't know what this week.  Thank goodness I dont have a lick of any curl or wave to my hair....

 

Speaking of hair I get it done tomorrow BLESS!!!  My roots and ends are sorrrryyyy looking!

 

Anywho, yesterday I forgot to post my what I wore Wednesday, so voilla- here it is! LOVE this new dress from ON.. thank goodness its cheap!

oh, almost forgot- thru Oct 8th LOFT is giving ALL teachers 25% off in store when you show your ID... may have to meander on over there this weekend! :)

 

Started out my Wednesday with a meeting that made me madder (is that a word) than a hornet... no comment but then mid-morning the Moms at our school make us coffee every once in a while.. thank goodness for them! :)

 

I don't have the slightest clue but I have been playing the new Miguel CD on repeat, and I mean REPEAT for days now since I bought it... yes its good and yes go out and get it!

I honestly think my sister has the best big sister ever- I mean honestly- her birthday is coming up, and I had a gift in mind buttttttt she's been wanting to go to a certain concert coming up that's near her school so I ordered us tickets... see proof I am a good sister!  Guess I need to switch my repeat playlist from Miguel to Ms. Pretty Little Underwood :)

 

Yes sir, Carrie and Hunter Hayes here we come... in about a month or so! :)

 

Have my hair and basketball stuff on the horizon for this weekend... Anyone out there have exxxxciting plans? :)

Monday drain

Happy October and Monday everyone!  I don't know about anyone else, but today seemed incredibly exhausting in this girl's world today!

Thank goodness for my Barista friend (even though I don't have a clue her name) at Starbucks for getting my pal and I's morning off right!  I babysat for my friend's darling little boys last night- LOVE them, just not being up late on a Sunday! But, hey- my Skins won!!

Golly day, he's precious, he was screaming CHEEEESEEEE the whole time! :)

 

Anywho, typical Monday in the school world, but a Monday and the 1st of the month just equals all kinds of extra emails, handouts, announcements, calendar changes... whewww I'm tired just recapping it!

I do have to say I wore my new TOMS today and they were ohh sooo comfy- I may need to get the boy to buy me a pair for Christmas...

 

Here's another... as I am not much for the animal print, I LOVE them! :)

I was sooooo excited when they came in this weekend... Thoughts?

 

Back to today- allergies here in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area are KILLER so compounding my exhaustion, my allergies were killing me!! AHH and then I forgot until my School Nurse (thank you Dianne) reminded me I was scheduled for my flu shot!! I can't stand needles but after my gazillion surgeries and tests on the darn shoulder I am used to it!

I was tough seeee!!! :)

 

That is all for today! I hope you had a great Monday! Leave me a line, love seeing the love! :)



Wisdom Teeth Wednesday

Happy Thursday everyone!!!  I gotta give myself a pat on the back for posting three times this week! Whew, maybe I am catching on the blogging bug! 

Anywho, yesterday I playing the teacher role with my kiddos, coach with my basketball team and then nurse for the boy!  School was a typical day, basketball workouts had a couple college coach visitors I needed to entertain and then I played Nurse for Mr. Tough Guy, who had his wisdom teeth pulled... Now all week he complained about the pain (all of us ladies know how men whine of sickness or pain) and then said his surgery wasn't going to hurt...  I kept saying it was going to be rough, but nooooooooo he didn't listen.  Well boy did it hit him hard yesterday!!!

Yes, he "said" he was thirsty and had to write his notes....the few times he did speak it was quite the message... Boy did those pain pills make him a little nutty..

 

I SOOOO Should win Girlfriend of the Year for running out to Chick Fil A at 9:00 last night to get him milkshakes!

 

Off to teach the rest of the day ti ny darlings!!!  Looks like jumprope is on my horizon at recess for now on!!! 

Tuesday Things

Happy Tuesday Friends!  I think I am officially getting the hang of this Blogger business... just need to find me some sponsors (any ideas??) and some followers!

Anywho, its been quite the chilly couple of mornings here in the DMV...and as much as I LOVE dressing up in my local Tarjay...

 

......yesterday was the comfy cozy type of teacher attire day!

Today was no different, I forgot to take a picture though... and I made my usual stop at the local Starbucks to give me my "pep to my step" and to make the morning of my dear friend and co-worker Share-bear! :)

 

Sooooo every year as a faculty we try to sport a theme for our Halloween costumes... one year we were the Grey's Anatomy docs, then we were cereal box characters (I was the Honey Nut Cheerios bee) and last year a couple of us were.... wait for ittt......

Yesssss, Rock, Paper, Scissors!!!!!

 

This year, Ms. Rock (Ms. R & ATHB) organized this year's theme....

It's going to be FABULOUS!!! I am the coveted Charlie Brown!!! CAN'T WAITTTTT!!!

 

Anywho, in other news the boy has been miserable the past week or so with his mouth, so he's getting his wisdom teeth removed as I type... he's been trying to play "Mr. Tough Guy" about it, but I think he's been FREAKIN'!!!!  I guess I go from Ms. H the teacher, to Coach Hayley to Nurse Hayley later on....

 

Have a great Tuesday!!! If you wanna sponsor me, puh-lease leave me a shout!!! :)

 

Weekend Travels

Sheeeeeeeshhhhh! I know, I know, I promised last time I'd be better at posting, but I have been swamped so much that I haven't had the time to breathe!  I've been so busy, I now even bring my personal laptop to school to get work done during lunch, snack, recess, whatever minutes I have to spare!!!  Anywho, I have been on the go go go lately- and yes I have pictures to share and talk about these adventures!

First up was Virginia Tech a couple weekends ago- now as we all know I am a teacher and a coach, so I left afterschool on a Friday and was supposed to take one of my players with me to see the campus, attend a football game and hang out with the basketball staff, BUT she cancelled so I still went and made it a weekend trip with the boy.  Let me say, he enjoyed the visit probably more then I did.. So Friday night we drove, boy was it loooooonnnnggg and stayed in Roanoke at a hotel where ironically the football team stayed at!  It was super gorg!!!



We got up early the next morning to head to their open gym and facility tour, golly was everything nice!  I had a great day, one of their assistants is a friend of mine and we laughed all darn day! 

Next, we headed over to the football stadium to catch the game- our seats were PERFECT, 45 yd line, couple rows up... only downside was that it downpoured at halftime and we had to abandon ship!!

We said our goodbyes to the staff and quickly ran into the bookstore where I HAD to try on this little goody! :) hehehe

 

OK....so last weekend, we were in town but Saturday was all kinds of CRAZYYYYY!  We started out the day heading to the Farmer's Market to pick up some produce, bread and other seasonal goodies... I drool over these flowers every time... Aren't they beautifullllll?!?!

Afterwards we bolted down to my fall league game, to the boy's football game and then we headed to FedEx Field... where MY REDSKINS play to meet my friend Danielle... the WVU Superfan for the WVU vs. James Madison football game.  We had a blast... who cares our tickets were like a million miles high in the sky, we had a great Saturday night watching those Mountaineers stomp JMU!

The marching bands of these teams were EXTREME!! If I had any ounce of musical ability in me, I'm sure I'd appreciate it more, but their performance and choreography was NUTS!!

I was dead dog tired when we got home, I fell right to sleep and was so thankful my basketball duties were done for the weekend... the boy had to get up though for his morning workout and yowzerss... was he slowww moving!  He knew how bad I wanted those flowers from the market that on his way home from the gym he brought me some "flowers to tie you over till you get your real ones at the market" :) I was a happy girl!

 

So that was my last few weekends in a nutshell, even though it felt like a novel!!!!

 

This past week was all kinds of crazy too...but I'm gonna promise from here on forward that I'll be a better poster!!!!! :) .... or at least I'll try!  The boy is having his wisdom teeth pulled Tuesday, so he's been hurting... gonna be a good girlfriend and make him some baked ziti... his favorite! 

 

I wish weekends and Football Sundays would last foreverrrrrrr! Have a great week everyone!

The Countdown is on: 8 days

You know when you've just had one of those weeks?!?! Maybe its just me, but this week sure has been a challenge!  Between finally tranisitioning after surgery back to my OWN home, to coming back from being out of town, to the craziness of life and times of a coach and human being... I am pooped I tell you! 

As a coach I couldn't be prouder of my girls winning all our playoff games this week, as a friend... between my friend's car getting towed (my fault.... kinda) and finally catching up with my ATHB (Across The Hall Buddy) Sharon for lunch today, I am beat! 

So my coaching news...well  it isn't quite what I wanted to report... so I really dont have a whole lot to say, other then I am disappointed and bummed things aren't working out as I originally hoped.  It's alright though, I have to keep my head upand keep truck a luckin with my team through this second part of their big recruiting season!

I go on vacation in 8, yes I am counting, days!  I coach in two big events next week, send my family off and the next day I get to leave myself! AMEN! 

This is my place!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

OH GEEZ... Have I been slacking!

Well let's see, it's been what, uhhh way too many months since my last post! I have a good reason, well sort of.  I am officially 5 weeks post op from this way too major of a shoulder surgery I had.

See, no fun and definately not blog worthy! Anywho, I am healing, still slinging it up though.  I love to workout and its KILLING, may I repeat KILLING me that I can't do what I am used to!

Over the weekend I went to Charleston with my friend, who well is more then a friend now...hehe :)  We went out and explored the town, which was GORGEOUS! I LOVED it, we both agreed that we would move there if we could.  Day 2 of our trip we went to the Firefly Distillery where they make Firefly Vodka, Rum, Bourbon... let me tell you... YUMMMM! Peach tea vodka+peach juice= Peach plantation drink- My favorite! 

That night we went to the Charleston RiverDogs baseball game: gorgeous night, fun game, good seats, and a few Peach Plantations :)

While we were down there we went shopping and ate some fabulous food- let me tell you- the French toast and pecan pancakes from Toast in Downtown Charleston are the bomb diggity! :)  We had alot of chicken for dinner and headed to Wet Willies for some frozen mixed drinkies!

Aside from the gorgeous scenery and fun people/food/drinks and shopping.. the cheap gas was a PLUS with all that driving!

I mean when are we ever gonna see gas prices back in the DMV at $3.00?  I mean I hope soon, but I'm not holding my breath!  I was so sad to come home, but stopping at the Wawa's for coffee made the trip a little better! :)

That's my recent life recap in a nutshell... I promise I will be better with posting my blogs! Hopefully, I'll have a BIG coaching announcement soon :)
