It was Wednesday before Christmas and amidst all the fun,
Sarah decided she would go for a run
When she was done, she thought she was dead
So she decided to go take a nap in this bed
When she awoke her phone was making a clatter
she accidentally knocked it on the floor hearing it splatter
"Oh no, how will I instagram now?!" She boasted,
Then quickly took a picture of the toast she just toasted.
It was only 10:30, and her day was already a mess,
at least she'd look cute in these boots and this dress
Lunch time approached, and she was hungry for the greasy pizzeria,
but she held strong, said a prayer, and made her own pizzadilla
Soon it was night and Sarah had a party to attend,
she knew she would shine in this cozy sparkle trend
Then Wednesday was over and her pins were all done,
but apparently the world was ending, so she was going to have some fun!
So lets all celebrate life, go on have a ball,
and until next time, 'have a great day, ya'll!!"
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
I've been sitting here all day putting off writing this post.
Just like I've been putting off FOR 3 MONTHS cleaning this house, until Tuesday when I just threw my hands in the air waved them like i just didn't care and got to business scrubbing every dog hair outta this mug.
And no, the 3 months comment was not an exaggeration.
I'm a disgusting human being... and Cash's dog hair... I can't even...
But I'm here writing you because I actually have something to say!
This week marks a change.
A "Sarah actually got off her butt and did something important" change.
This week I started molding young minds.
I was a little nervous Monday morning before my first day. But then I thought to myself, "Self, you've taught High School for a year. You've got this. Piece of cake."
If High School is scary, Middle School is Al Qaeda.
Eleven year-olds who don't understand whats happening to their bodies but they just know they want to touch the person next to them.
Boys who throw girls backpacks across the room because they dont like them.
Girls who write notes folded into origami shapes about those boys who threw their backpack across the room because one day they'll be married to that boy and those origami notes would be perfectly pinteresting at their wedding.
These, my friends, are the most terrifying people on earth.
And while they are mind blowinly scary, they're also just mind blowing in general.
Here's some of the conversations over the past couple of days:
Student: Are those your real eyes?
Me: What do you mean 'are these my real eyes'?
Student: I mean are those like, contacts? I've never seen that color.
Me: No. They're just my eyes. They're green.
Student: Is that your real hair?
Me: What?
Student: Its just... so, soft looking.
Me: Yes. This is my hair.
Student: How old are you?
Me: How old do you think I am?
Student: Uh... 21?
Me: In my heart yes, in reality no.
Student: What?
And the best of all:
Student: Are you married?
Me: No.
Student: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: Yes.
Student: Have you been together for a long time?
Me: Yes.
Student: Longer than a year?
Me: Yes.
Student (horrified): And you aren't married?!
Me: No.
Student: Wow ms. You should probably break up with him. Sounds like he has commitment issues.
These kids may be smarter than I give them credit for.
I've definitely learned that I am not cut out for the younger kids.
High Schoolers... sure, they're little balls of terror in themselves, but at least they get my jokes and laugh at them.
That's all I need.
Oh, Friday.
How slow you take to get here and how fast you leave.
Today I'll be out running errands like getting my nails did, washing my car, buying white elephant gifts for a tacky sweater party tomorrow, buying a tacky sweater for a tacky sweater party tomorrow, and buying groceries to make goodies for the tacky sweater party tomorrow...
Did I mention I'm going to a tacky sweater party tomorrow?
Whew, I'm already worn out.
I'm keeping it short and sweet today because this girl has some things to do!
Before I leave you, you know I have to go out with a funny!
A friend from High School asked Wal-Mart to make a non gender specific cake for December birthdays at her work.
This is what they gave her...
Bless their hearts!
(and no that isn't a joke... wal-mart really did make this cake for someone I know)
:)
I hope ya'll have a wonderful Friday!
I want to start today by bragging on myself a little (if I may)... like I was saying in this post on Monday, I've been feeling anything but cute lately.
My clothes aren't fitting right anymore and no matter how much I try to tell myself that I can still stuff my body into those size 6s, the fact is that you can see the indentation of every seam on my body when I take them off and it's truly awful.
So Monday I woke up determined to make a change and start being happy with myself again... because if you don't love you, why should anyone else?
I've started the couch to 5k program and am determined to stick with it.
No matter how much my mind tells me no, my body tells me yeahhhh
(R. Kelly, anyone?)
Check it out ya'll!
This is from yesterday.
And the fact that I'm so excited about this lets you know just how much of a runner I am NOT.
I read this post the other day from a fellow Houstonian Amy. She could not be more right. Why wait until January to make a resolution?
Lets just jump right into it...
I hate cats, but LOVE grumpy cat... look at that miserable face!
"I can't hear you"
Thou without sin, cast the first stone.
Love the mirror and the extra seating
bucket list!
I live for creative people.... this is so so funny to me
And no, I'm not lego my prego, I just thought it was hilarious and creative!
Hope ya'll have a great Wednesday!
Just when you think you have plenty of time to slim down before slipping into that cocktail dress for New Years, the clock hits Midnight, you realize that it's already December...and you still look like a whale.
After a wedding weekend where I felt like a bag of potatoes stuffed into my dress
(this picture is an optical illusion), I went to bed determined to wake up early this morning and boost my metabolism by restarting the Couch to 5k program for the 14th time today.
So here's how today's gone so far...
5:45: alarm goes off... I roll over and immediately start shouting 'noooo!!!' in my mind
6:00: drag myself out of bed and put on running clothes while John feeds Cash
6:05: let Cash outside after he eats, only to realize that its POURING DOWN RAIN.
Awful...just awful.
I didn't get to run outside.
Whomp whomp.
So John made us do pushups, situps, wall sits, planks, and squats instead.
One day at a time, right? Hopefully the sky will clear up later and Cash and I can still go for that run... big girl needs to move it!
Everyone wants a hippopotamus for Christmas, but no one wants to BE a hippopotamus for Christmas.

I hope ya'll had a great weekend and have a great Monday!!
