A post before ten pm from Brooke? Not possible. Today is the LAST day of school for teachers (students left yesterday), and my principals are taking us out for dinner and bowling after work. Since I don't know what shenanigans are in store, I wanted to get this...
Keeping my Sanity with Two Weeks Left
The end of the school year is worse for teachers than it is for students (teacher friends: can I get an amen?). This long holiday weekend is just a teaser for what summer is going to be like and going back to work on Tuesday is kind of like a slap in the face....
Catch up on the Week
Happy Hump Day! I thought I would catch you all up a bit on the week. The school year is starting to wind down and my students are going a little bonkers. Today was particularly crazy as we had 6 teachers absent and only 2 subs. Yikes. The good news is it's Teacher...
Martyrdom
As teachers, we are asked to take on a lot of extra responsibilities. Chaperoning dances, tutoring after school, coaching, lunch detentions, covering classes of absent teachers, working the ticket booth, the list goes on. Though teachers may grumble a bit about doing...
Easter Weekend
I have to apologize for my lack of posting/blog reading this last week and weekend. I am trying to find the balance between head coaching, working out, and blogging. Please bear with me through the next 3 weeks as the season comes to a close! Since I am still finding...
Poor Filming Skills
The track kids did so well on Wednesday! Compared to their performances from Saturday, I am really proud of them. They knew how a meet worked, were one of the most well-behaved teams there, and a few of them scored first and second in their heats! Proud mama bear all...
Monday Funday
FYI: My services page has been updated! If you or a friend is interested in a personal trainer, please take a look and get in touch! On to the beautiful sunrise that made going to work this morning much easier: Today was one of those days where I felt like I was...
Abstract vs Literal
It was a gorgeous day here in Denver! Thank goodness I was able to get out for a run today. For the past two days, I have been stuck in extra long meetings that have just been driving me crazy. At least there was Panera. My main beef with the meetings these past two...
Obsession Confession #3
This has been a crazy busy week and I have to say I am so looking forward to the weekend, as I'm sure most of you are as well. With track season now in full swing, I haven't been home before 6 any night this week. Since I'm used to being home around 4, I am really...
Fruit and Granola Breakfast Roll Up
I don't know about you, but this Monday has been go go go! I feel like I haven't stopped moving since 6 am! Between my students coming in for help, (yes I know I caught her putting on makeup) and getting through my to do list, (blurred for safety) sitting on the couch...
Gorgeous Weather and MyFitnessPal
It was a beautiful weekend here in Denver. Especially since I was floating off most of my intervention students rocking it on their standardized test! During my 14-miler on Saturday, I found myself in the middle of a race being run along the path right by my...
Blog Changes and A Busy Week
A few months back, I mentioned some updates I wanted to make to my blog. Some of those major updates are finally happening, so you will continue to see some changes over the next week or so while everything gets sorted out. Please bear with me! Meanwhile, last week...
