Whew, Lawzy!

Girls...Girls...Girls.... I am one tired momma, teacher, wife, and gal! My grandmother, Maw, who is in hospice and slowly getting weak and tired.... used to say "whew lawzy" when she was tired and worn out! I am first of all, exhausted just from thinking, overthinking, and rethinking my lesson for tomorrow. Why oh why must my boss give me a "date" for an observation? Seriously? He's been in and out 20 times this year, sat down a few, got remarkable reviews and I never once fretted. Why? Because he caught me doing "my thing" and not having to prepare some dog and pony show. Whatever...... As I prepared this weeks lesson I tried to keep with my normal realm of thinking. But then i caught myself going "Ok, does this cover all levels of Blooms?" "Is this one of my main TEKS to be covering?" "Will he like this?" Blah..... Blah..... Blah.....
So, the plan is done. Everything is ready and I am ready for tomorrow to be OVER! I hate these types of things. Just walk in, unannounced, PLEASE! After all, I feel like that is the best way to get an overall picture of a teacher!

Aside from all that exhaustion, I just am not getting to bed as I normally do. My girls have been out of their nightly routine the past few nights, therefore making me later to bed. I then like having a little bit of quiet time after they go to bed, just talking to my husband- an ADULT conversation! I'm also getting busy preparing for Jaylee's 4th birthday. Please do not even ask about birthday parties. I go above and beyond and do way to much. (You know those stories of a deprived childhood..... that would be me with birthday parties)

I'm also trying to keep my family on a strict budget, I'm counting calories (Wahoo- 15 days with less than 1300 calories/day, and most days under 1000!). I am doing really well, so far, with both things. I have only spent $118 at walmart for TWO WEEKS of groceries, and I did spend an additional $23 in between the two weeks replacing milk, fresh salad ingredients, and fresh fruit. If you know me and my girls, we eat fruit like nobody's business!! So, keep me in your prayers! I'm trying to balance alot right now!
