Is it Christmas Yet?

It has been well over a month since my last blog. I have been SO busy with the start of school, I haven't had much time to think about anything else.

One thing I need to work on is eating healthier and start working out again. I worked so hard to get fit and trim for the wedding, but once the honeymoon started it was like pig out time. I am going to start keeping a food journal and start working out again. My only problem is not finding time, since I have 4 hours after school before Marvin gets home, but finding the energy. If I am not staying after school to cover a game, I can't wait to get home to take a nap. I have been so tired lately. I am hoping starting to exercise again will help with my energy level.

This is my first 5 day week of school in October. We have had off every Friday for some reason, youth day (county fair day), staff development day, State teachers convention. . .It has been so nice having 3 day weekends! Not only do we have a 5 day work week, I am working the ACT test on saturday morning. So it is more like a 6 day work week for me :(

I am getting excited now the holidays are right around the corner. I love the holiday time! I can't wait to start to decorate our new house. I love picking out a tree with Marvin and decorating it together. I love the cold weather and snuggling up on sundays watching football. My only wish is we could have a couple more holiday weekends to fit in all of the festivities. I hate having my birthday around Christmas time because everyone is always too busy with the holidays to celebrate. I have thought about celebrating my half birthday in June instead so I could have a birthday party. Another thing I hate/love about the holidays is all of the great food. I just need to learn to not indulge myself, but to sample food. Remember: veggies are my friend!

I will try and be better about blogging. I feel this is the only way to catch up with friends since it seems everyone's life is so busy!
