I Am...

...caught up with grading at school. I take that back. I just have today's exams to grade....but I have no "backstock" of papers to grade. That feels good.

...frustrated, that despite getting Austin excited about cooking with me, he refuses to eat what we make. Except for the strawberry shortcake. And the meatloaf. Those are his favorites. But he refuses to eat the homemade pizza (last night!), creamy chicken casserole, actually - chicken of any kind, beef stroganoff....the list goes on.

...excited for Boot Camp again tomorrow night. I loved it last week, and am looking forward to another grueling workout!

...upset that my students have sticky fingers and I have to hide things from them. They steal. And that doesn't just make me mad, it infuriates me.

...amazed at Austin's ability to trust a stranger supporting him on his back in the water while he calmed his nerves so she could let go for him to float on his back all by himself. Way to go kiddo!

...perplexed that soon after I 'clean house' and declutter, it's only a matter of time before, well, you know. I have to declutter again. I just want to live simply and without so much stuff! Is it possible?

...pumped to meet with a personal fitness trainer Thursday for an hour. Yesterday I signed up for a 12 week personal fitness program, and my first appointment is Thursday at 4pm.

...desiring more time in the day. I could use a few more hours!

...temporarily stuck with a snowed-in view out my classroom windows.  I'm on the second floor, and the first floor below me juts out so I have a roof-view...and the snow drifted up (as it always does) and it goes up more than half-way up the windows. I get a little claustrophobic just thinking about being stuck in there.

...longing for some Starbuck's coffee right now. I am in desperate need of a pick-me-up.

...looking forward to lounging around tonight & listening to some tunes.

...obsessing about photography. Still. I don't think that will ever diminish. I hope it stays an obsession forever.
