Question of the Day

How do you teach common sense?

Sneak Peak

I really want to blog but it is far to late for that tonight. I'm pooped. ISTEP testing makes for a very long week. Students are so brain-dead by the time the get to my class, we can't get anything accomplished. Sorry that was random.

As I was saying, I have lots of things to blog about but no time. Just to wet your appetite here are some upcoming blog posts.

First Wednesday - Tonight was AWESOME!!! Great stories to tell. Can't wait to share them.
Living Examples of Jesus - I have two more to add to the series. Yes I know it has been a long time. Deal with it!
Why Camp? - I know for several camps the price has gone up and the economy is a mess. Several students are thinking of not going. So I'm going to share some thoughts on why I think camp is the place to be this summer. This may be multiple posts.
Adoption Party - I'll be heading home to see the fam and celebrate the adoption of my niece. This means funny quotes and lots of pictures.

Some of you are thinking, yea right this won't happen. You may be right but I don't want to give you that satisfaction. So be patient. It's coming....sometime.

Scatterbrained

- I think wheat should be banned from our society. I'll be paying for the wheat that slipped into my food for the next month. No joke!
- I'm trying to learn how to let go of the hard days and look forward. Harder said than done.
- My brother finds pure enjoyment out of pushing my buttons.
- Adoption Party this weekend. I get to see ALL of my nieces and nephew.
- I'm already in pain from today's workout. Tomorrow I won't be able to move.
- I cleaned our apartment this weekend (except my room) and it is already a mess.
- I'm so excited about Deeper Life and Rock Lake this year. Love the book of Hebrews.
- My computer is currently making weird noises. I keep saying I'm going to take it in but haven't.
- I want a chocolate chip cookie and brownies...both are wheat infested.
- Reason #107 Why I Love Meijer - They hooked me up with a good price for iron pills. I can't believe my iron is STILL that low. Stupid!!!!
- ISTEP week is of the devil.
- #1 Pet Peeve - Stupid People (you know the ones who fail to use common sense)
- I hate that my brain turns on when it is time to sleep.
- Learned some great new punches in Brooke's cardio class today. I don't think Anna and I will need our dart guns anymore.

Special Request: Wheat Freedom

Wheat Freedom
"No Wheat...I'm Gonna Eat!"

Tia: "I'm learning the ways of wheat free-dom!"
DC: "Wheat freedom...that's like a new religion! You should blog about that."

Like Tia, many of you should begin to learn more about the ways of the wheat-free. And since DC requested it, you have that opportunity. After discovering today that wheat had indeed caused the weekend of unbearable pain and sickness, I currently have an increased hatred for the grain and increased passion to spread the word about its evilness.

Obviously the key to Wheat Freedom is eating only that which does not contain wheat. You'll often hear me say before I start eating someting, "No wheat in this so I'm going to eat it!" Sunday that was in reference to an amazing baked potato and Frosty from Wendy's.

Time out: Three cheers for Wendy's!!!! I love that place!

I don't think I need to restate the consequences for partaking in this horrible grain. So we'll move on. I would like to give credit to Tia for designing the official Wheat Freedom logo. And in closing, apparently this was voted "funniest wheat comment of the night."

Me: I gave up wheat for lent.

Why Marriage?

Two Facts:
1) There are several reasons why people decide to get married.
2) Shenanigans have been known to occur in between GSM-Middle School and GSM-High School.

What happens when these two facts collide? The following top ten list!

In other words, my buddy Tia and I got a little crazy waiting for high school students to arrive. We made this random list of out of the ordinary reasons to get married. My family will enjoy this list probably more than anybody else.
