Favorite.......

My favorite thing this week, so far:

When one of my students, who was wearing mittens, started using them for hand puppets. It was hilarious!

I was reading through people's statuses on Facebook. I think I just need to give that whole thing up, but one person put that Boyd K. Packer was an embarassment. To be honest, it made me really sad. I dearly love our prophet and I love our apostles, too. I know that what they say isn't going to be popular with the world and it may not even be popular with many members of the LDS church, but I have faith that they do know what is best for me. I don't follow their counsel blindly. I pray about it and receive confirmation for myself.

I don't criticize leaders of other faiths, so it makes me really sad when people choose to criticize my church leaders. I guess I just don't get it.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's something that has affected my life personally and I am sure almost everyone out there. My challenge to you this month, wear pink in honor of someone who has had the disease and beat it or someone who fought hard, but didn't beat it. It's a simple way of honoring some amazing women (and some men, too!) Also, I will be participating in the Strides for Breast Cancer (or something like that) this Saturday at Liberty Park. It should be pretty cool. I will be walking for my mom.

My thoughts and prayers go out to those that are currently battling this. God Bless You!

Don't Be Jealous...

But, I am pretty sure that one of my students has a crush on me. However, it's not the cute, "I am going to draw Miss Megan a picture and hope that she hangs it up" kind of crush. No siree! It's more like a "While Miss Megan is talking to someone, I am going to hit her arm with a heavy plastic dinosaur and hope that she looks at me or during lunch I am going to throw chunks of my roll at her head and then when she leaves to go on her break, I will scoot after her and get pink frosting all over my bum" kind of crush. Um, it's cute....sort of! What can I say, I like the kid?!


Oh, and have I mentioned HOW MUCH I LOVE MY CLASS this year?! I seriously do.

Let me give you a few examples why:

Batman and IronMan were two of my students yesterday. yep, Halloween costumes are already making an appearance.

One of my students looks like the boy scout from UP! Seriously so cute. I could just hang him on a charm bracelet.

All of my students are diggin peanut butter. My kind of kids.

A Goal....

At the beginning of the year, my friends and I all decided upon dates that we were going to get married to the man of our dreams.(Did that sound like we were all getting married to one man? Big Love style? Not what I meant) I picked September 23, 2010. If you didn't receive an invitation....don't you fret. No one did!

Instead I will be heading here


to dine on one of their tasty pork burritos and

then I will be heading off to do this:







Sounds like a crazy night, doesn't it?! Enjoy the vid.
(Oh, the goal will be tried out next year, too!)

Just a few thoughts or two....

I have been such a blogger slacker lately. I just thought that I would share a few thoughts of the last few weeks or so....

1. I LOVE LOVE my class this year. They are so cute.

2. I miss G. One of my students that was supposed to be in my class, but two days before G was to start, they pulled him out due to finances. I am still sad about it. That kid just made me happy.

3. While discussing possible Halloween ideas with my staff, they all decided on different rock stars that they were going to be. Guess who they decided I could be? Um...Mary Poppins? Really? Don't get me wrong, I love her, but isn't there a rock star out there that I could be?!

4. I started tap dancing again. It just makes my feet happy to be shufflin' off to buffalo.

5. Since I am currently not in school, I have a goal to read a book a week. I just finished reading, "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. I read it in three days. It was so good!! I couldn't put it down.

6. Glee starts up on Tuesday. HOORAY!

7. Yes, I did watch every episode of Bachelor Pad. Am I trashy trashy or what?

8. I love Fall. It is probably my favorite season. I can't wait for the leaves to change colors and to start falling. I love running through them and crunching them with my feet.

9. I finally bought a new purse. (after my last one was stolen...sigh). I love it. It's big. It is probably bigger than my head.

10. One of my adorable students keeps calling me Mommy. That sort of makes my uterus hurt.

11. I am going to start volunteering as an usher for Capitol Theater. I think it will be super fun.

p.s

It's been 13 years since my dad passed away. I miss him.
