Jen's Journal.....Baby Steps to a new me

[toystoryduo]

I CAN do this!! this will be a good week!

You CAN do this, Jen!! Just stay positive! I think I can... I know I can... I CAN!

You know.... Maybe you can watch a Disney planning DVD or watch a great comedy to take your mind off of student teaching tomorrow......

Hakuna Matata! I'm cheering for you!

I hope week 2 is going well! Remember, you're not expected to be perfect! You're there to help & learn!!

Glad grandma is better & we're all praying for Steve, here.

Have a great rest of the week!

Hi guys...i am so sorry for not checking in as much...Things have just been busy!
Well its week 2 of student teaching and every day is a bit better..Tomorrow i will be teaching my first lesson. Starting next week I will teach 1 lesson a day (this will go on for 3 weeks). Then, i teach 2 lessons a day for the next 3weeks-then March 12, i start full time teaching for 5 weeks..So i have time to get used to everything!

We havent heard from STeve yet, but hopefully we do soon so we can start emailing him and stuff like that! I know he appreciates the prayers

As for weight loss stuff---Im about the same..i have gotten at least 8 glasses of water a day and have charted all my food..The exercise thing hasnt happened..My family is here from Colorado and will be until Sunday..So i can see us doing alot of stuff and exercising isnt one of them!

I hope you guys are all doing good

The last couple of days have been crazy, but fun! My cousins and i went bowling last night and then stayed up chatting til 2..Today, we went and got a family picture (28 of us!) and then had a lunch for my grandparents..my cousin made a DVD of videos and songs that ended up being 30 minutes long--its soooo nice and we were all in tears by the time it was done
After, we just went to my uncles house and i just got home..My cousins are thinking about going moonlight bowling at 11 tonight, but i may have to pass...Ive been pretty sick all day today, but kept ignoring it because it was my grandparents day. I am starting to feel a sinus infection. Luckily tomorrow is going to be pretty low key so i can relax and then ill call the dr Monday to go in after student teaching..I cant take a day off of teaching yet, so i hope this passes soon
hope you guys are having a great weekend!

Family time is wonderful, isn't it? I'm glad to hear that you had a great time this weekend!

(In my mom's voice...) Sweetie, please get to the doctor as soon as possible if you think that you have a sinus infection. Number one, they are painful! Number two, if you have an infection, your immune system might be weaker and with the germs from all of the kiddies at your school, you might end up even sicker. Please be careful and take extra special good care of you!

Have a gr8 week, Miss. Jen!

 

[kimwim8]

I second what Tracy said. Definitely get to the doctor, and if they can't see you tomorrow after teaching, then see if they can call you in some meds until they can get you in. Sinus infections are nothing to mess with (as you know).

I'm glad you had lots of fun with your cousins. You needed a release!!

hi! just checking in...i have to do lesson plans but ill update here tomorrow!

 

[kmp1191]

Just a quickie.....HI JEN!!!

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Jen! Just checking in to see how you are doing. How are you enjoying your last semester of school? I hope you got an antibiotic for your sinus infection. I agree with Tracy -- your immune system is very vulnerable being around all those kids. You must take care of yourself! Sending that you are feeling great, and wishing you a wonderful weekend!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hi everyone-
Thanks for checking in on me this week. I am feeling alot better this morning, although not 100%. I am taking all of my antibiotics and got to sleep in this morning so i think that will help.
I stayed up late last night doing alot of homework and lesson plans so i can relax today and tomorrow.
The semester is going okay--im still having a rough time getting comfortable with the situation, but i am really trying--just afraid i wont be able to do it!
Im going out to dinner with my family tonight and will probably have a couple of drinks, so im looking forward to t hat..

other tha nthat i have NO plans again this weekend--gotta love relaxing..

On the weight loss,,,lets just say there hasnt been any..i REALLY need to get back on track but im having a rough time between being sick and student teaching...I am EXHAUSTED when i get home during the week and just lay around and dont exercise--i have to start doing something. Also, my eating hasnt been that great..im trying to get back on track , dont konw why im having such a hard time with it!

have a great weekend

 

[toystoryduo]

Jen,

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. Please be sure and continue to rest and drink plenty of fluids.

Keep on keeping on, Jen. A PM is coming your way.....

Just stopping in to say HI!! I hope that the student teaching is going well.

Hi Tracy and Beth-
Its been a relaxing weekend so far! I even took a 2 hour nap today because i woke up early.
Im trying to look at this week in a positive way! I have my first observation by my supervisor Tuesday at 9:20--im hoping to get some positive feedback!

Im about to go shopping with my brother's g irlfriend and then just relax until kickoff..have a great day!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Well im sick..again/still..so im just relaxing and watching some football.
We have decided this weekend that we will be goign to Massachusetts this summer for the Kride to raise money for the cancer that killed Alyssa---Today is 9 months since Lyss died so we decided to make it happen. i think my brother is going to do the 25 mile ride (he did 10 last year) and i MAY do the 10, but i might stick wiht helping out while they are all riding.

Im excited we are doing it again! it was a very rewarding, but emotionally draining experience!! i think we'll stay 2 nights this time and make a weekend of it!

 

[toystoryduo]

Jen,

What a great way to honor the memory of Alyssa, Jen . Please let us know how we can help.

I hope you are feeling better soon, sweetie.

Remember, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! (I know you CAN, Jen! )

Have a great week!

 

[kmp1191]

Jen....are you out there?????

Let us know if you decide to do the ride again....I'm in again!!
It's for a great cause, and I remember how proud you all felt last year.

Hope you're doing ok....just thinking about ya!
