Oh my, my…the cheetahs have been busy posters today! In solidarity with Susan, I have opted for the rest day, so I’m just here to catch up on personals…
Wendy :: thanks…the lesson went well.
KPC, on the other hand, quickly became history. ha ha Rec’d your Christmas card today ~ thanks for the sweet message! Glad you accomplished so much today and Joey was such a good boy for his shot.
Sunny :: I sometimes overshoot with my workout, too…my ambitions in the morning are greater than my energy level in the afternoon sometimes, unfortunately.
Jess :: sorry about your migraine…those are no fun…sounds like you had a relatively quick recovery at least.
Elaine :: I know what you mean…if I’m waking up TOO early, I can’t stay awake at night. I’m talking, dozing off ridiculously early in front of the TV! An observation involves the principal or a curriculum supervisor (upper-level admin) coming to observe one of your class periods. Tenured teachers have one per year; non-tenured teachers (that’s me b/c I have less than three years in this district) are observed 3 times per year. They look for an engaging lesson, clear objectives and outcomes, organization, classroom management, etc.
Carole :: We have a half day on the 22nd…break lasts until Jan. 2nd. Hope you were able to get in B&G + the elliptical.
Laurie :: Glad to hear BM2 gave you a great workout…thanks for the good wishes…I think it went well…I’m glad your spirits are lifted today. OK, Laurie, now I’m jealous…I’m off to start a small fire, so the men with the large hoses come to my door. }(
Shelly :: cracked up about the mooing comment. Goodness—30 lb. dumbbells!?? You are amazing. Oh, I did as you said – I’m resting today.
Tomorrow and Saturday I’ll hit the pavement again.
Susan :: taking a week off in Chicago might be good for you…thank you for the vote of confidence!
The cheetah support system is just unreal. I relaxed with a few trashy tabloids this afternoon, but I’m afraid I can’t commit to many books during the school year. I used to somehow find time to read young adult novels and a few professional books during the school year, but since I started grad school, there is not much time for that anymore, either. I definitely don’t get to much adult reading til the summer. Hope you had fun in the classroom today!
Judy :: I could just picture the cats freaking out with the pup. Yes, I think the observation went well…but I won’t get the write-up and post-observation conference til next week perhaps.
Linda :: good to see you post…please check in even if you’re not doing Cathe! We won't hold it against you
…thanks for the good wishes.
Christine :: Good for you gettin' a workout in despite TTOM. Hope it made you feel a little better. Or is it more about wanting to tears faces off rather than physical pain?
LD :: glad you found a HRM to suit your needs…thanks for the good wishes…LOL about a salad during TTOM…as if!
OK, I am pissed bc something is off with the USB ports on my laptop and the mouse occasionally goes on the fritz, which it is doing now… The touchpad absolutely *kills* me, so I think I’ve gotta get off this thing. It’s time for my airborne, zinc, and vitamin regimen, anyway…I’m starting that again bc the influx of germs is on the rise again at school, and I’ve been feelin’ a little sniffly this week. Gotta ward that off so it doesn’t interfere with my ski trip!
Have a great night, cheetahs…see you in the AM.
-Cathy
