Dear P90X,

I know I promised that we would have our first date tonight, but this migraine seems to have plans of its own. Can we reschedule for tomorrow?


Thanks,

LA

I'm pretty sure I'm single-handedly keeping Kleenex in business right now...

I love fall. It is my very favorite season. I love the changing leaves, wearing pants and long sleeves, celebrating my birthday(!), college football season...I could go on forever.

BUT.

There is one thing about fall that I HATE. At least here in good ol' GA, the weather is crazy. This morning when I left for work it was 43*. When I left to get margaritas with the teacher crew (errr...I mean, go home? :))? It was 85*.

A 42* difference. In the same day. WTH?

So, thank you fall weather for stealing my voice and taking over my sinuses. Please make up your mind about your current state so that I can breathe and talk again. I really do love you, but I don't like you very much right now. Thanks.

17

Since my principal announced during morning meeting that today is my birthday, my students insisted that I tell them how old I am. I don't really want to tell them because I don't want them running home and telling their parents and having their parents doubt my ability because of my age. So I did the only logical thing.

I told them I was seven.

I told them that I'm in first grade just like them, so I must be turning seven just like they will all turn seven this year.

"You're not seven!" they shouted, "You're not a kid!"

"Yeah!" one insisted, "You're sevenTEEN! You're a teenager!"

And, to my room full of six year olds, that was a perfectly logical conclusion.

So scratch 25. I think I will be 17 forever. :)

25

Today I am officially old.

Bring on the quarter life crisis.

It's BACK!

I know exactly where I'll be at 8:00 tonight. And Uncle Jesse is a new cast member??? YES.

Fall Break

I would put this as my FB status, but I think my friends would judge me.

I kind of wish we didn't have this week off from school.

There it is. Take it in.

Of course sleeping in late and lunching with friends sounds like it would be a blast. There are only two small problems with this plan.

1. My body won't allow me to sleep past 8:00 - which is a total BUMMER.
2. Only schools are off this week! All of my friends are at work (and making way more $$$ than me, btw.)

So what does that leave me to do on this break?

-Clean my house
-Catch up on my errands
-Go to the dentist
-Work on lesson plans

Fun, no?

I would rather be at work.

Long time, no write

Oh, hey blog world. Sorry we haven't hung out in a while. It's been unbelievably busy around here. We've been back in school for about a month now, and it's definitely taken up a large chunk of my time.

I decided to change the name of the blog, too. A fresh start. So long, Elle Says Relax, hello LA in ATL - because, honestly?, I'm pretty sure Elle won't be doing much relaxing until school's out for summer again in 2011. Not that I mind. ;) LOVE my job.

This is a lame post, but I just want to get back into the blogging habit. Be back soon, I promise!
