Monday Afternoon Ramblings

1.  I'm so happy that January is over and February is finally here. I'm ready for some love this month. When I taught sixth grade the last two years, I really missed celebrating Valentine's Day with my first graders. We celebrated Valentine's Day a few of days ago and, I have to say, having a Valentine's Day party for 31 first graders takes a very crazy special person. At first I flipped out while they were passing out their cards because it was chaos to me. I have very little room in my classroom due to the amount of little bodies, desks and chairs so I rarely let them get out of their seats. After I flipped out, I sat back and just watched their excited faces. They had so much fun and went home with a bag of cards and candy. It was perfect! I was exhausted!

2.  There's a rumor that Bethenny Frankel is writing a book about her divorce. I used to love watching her reality show, but then she became a crazy, selfish, husband-hating person and I lost interest. She should write a book titled 50 Ways to Ruin Your Marriage because that would be more truthfully and interesting.

3.  A few weeks ago I signed up for the Disney Half Marathon that is in September. So far, I haven't started training yet. I am such a procrastinator, but now I'm having dreams about doing the run, so I guess I better start preparing. I like the idea of being a runner, but I definitely haven't made that leap yet to actually being a runner.

4. I often wonder how many people are actually happy with their careers. I definitely have ups and downs with being a teacher and I often find myself day dreaming about finding a new career. In the past I have day dreamed of owning my own cupcake business, working at Starbucks, and becoming a chef.  Lately I have been interested in being a detective or a private investigator. I would be awesome at this considering that I love to spy on people, I am very inquisitive and I love trying to solve mysteries. 

If you could change careers, what new career would you choose?
