very exciting about your upcoming trip Jill! Where are you staying?
We are staying at Pop. The kids love it and I think the next time we go, we'll need more space so we'll stay off site (the horror!!) or move up to a villa.

Hi
I am Fran. I am a remedial reading teacher in a suburb outside of Pittsburgh. I have 3 boys and a wonderful husband. One son is a college freshman at Penn State and I have a high school senior who is going through the college search right now. He just found out he received a partial scholarship to his top pick.
And my baby is turning 13 in 10 days.
Now, my husband is not a Disney fan ... however, we are having a contest to see who can lose the most weight and maintain it my June 1st. If I win .... he agreed to go to Disney and not complain! So help me out my Disney friends.
Positive: My reading kids have been doing great this year. Keeping me fingers crossed they practiced a bit over break.
Off to get ready for work tomorrow. Have a great day tomorrow everyone!
Fran! How was your Christmas break? Where is your son's top pick for college? I asked my students how many read over Christmas. Granted it was 9th-12th graders, but none of them read a book. They informed me they read the newspaper, texts, and tweets. Ugh.
Posting early, since I really need to get to work on time and I think I will run in the morning.
QOTD Wednesday, January 2, 2013
How often do you weigh/ get on the scale?
And you know it's coming--say something positive about yourself.
I weigh myself daily. If I only weigh in once a week, I lose focus. Weighing in daily makes me focus. If I see the scale go up at all, I regroup & reevaluate my eating and exercise.
Positive~I went back to work feeling so refreshed after break. I really focused on my family and relaxing for 12 days. One student even asked what was wrong with me that I was smiling so much and so happy lol.
Good morning!
Jill, I saw your post about where you live, I have friends in the Hubbard and Cortland areas of Ohio. Are you anywhere near Kranyak's? We've been there a few times during past Christmas seasons.
Hilarious! We live in Sharon, so we are about 3 minutes away from Kraynak's. We go frequently for Christmas & Easter lanes. Plus, we get flowers & gardening things there. DSs love their toy department & used to love the Thomas the train section when they were younger. Did you know they do an Easter lane?
I go to Hubbard to get gas at Flying J since it's so much cheaper than PA. And we go to Niles a lot for Sam's club, Toys R Us, & Target.
Small world!
I can switch coaching weeks and take this week if the last week of January works better for someone. Also I will have four weeks in February where we will need coaches if anyone would prefer a week in February. Please let me know. It is a lot of fun and
Rose is correct a lot of our coaches report good losses the week that they coach.
Have a great day all!
I will coach the week starting Feb 15. That's a Friday so I guess it'd be Feb 15-21? Please let me know if this is still available & if you'd like to me do it. I love coaching weeks!! I will also pm you just in case.
Jan 25th is soo soon, how awesome! We will be there then, I hear it's a wonderful time to go.
Cool. We went the exact same week 2 years ago & it was wonderful. We walked on to everything & the weather rocked. Coming from chilly PA (our schools actually had a snow day because of an ice storm while we were down there), the kids loved swimming in January. I'm hoping for good weather! I saw your countdown. Will you be at the Poly? We'll be at Pop. I'm hoping to watch the water pagent & fireworks from the Poly beach one night...probably with a dole whip in my hand
QOTD--Jan 3, 2013--What is your favorite non-traditional veggie? (Meaning other than: broccoli, green beans, peas, tomatoes.) Do you have a quick and easy way of preparing it that you'd like to share?
And you know it is coming---
Say something positive about yourself.
I have another busy day coming up, but I will try to check in tomorrow evening.
Have a great Thursday!
I actually love all veggies with the exception of beets & radishes. My family just likes the basics (broccoli, green beans, salad veggies, carrots, celery, peppers) so I don't make a lot of nontraditional ones at home. When we eat out, I usually order them. Sorry I can't offer any recipes.
Positive~I avoided a coworker's stash of Reese's cups during a lunch meeting. Trust me, they we not just calling my name, they were screaming it through a megaphone! But, I looked away. I'm pretty sure it physically hurt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It took me so long to catch up on 2 1/2 days of posts, that I have no time to write anything else. DSs are playing the Wii & I want to go join in, so I am heading off to do that. Have a great night & I'll check back tomorrow!
