There are so m...Great goals and great reflections! There are so many that I connect with...laundry, diet soda, getting back into the kitchen, and letting go of things in education! Especially the education one. I have to remember that I can't control everything. I can only do what I can during the school-day and I have to let go of the things out of my control! It is sooooo hard though!! I applaud you on 32 days of no Diet Coke...that takes some serious willpower!!<br /><br />Kate :)<br /><a href="http://katemcdeesbusybees.org" rel="nofollow">McDee's Busy Bees</a><br />Kate :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13167451821660258765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713636946216316666.post-16553696757885698012014-02-02T07:16:47.003-06:002014-02-02T07:16:47.003-06:00I love that you are so reflective!

Don't hate me BBB-I didn't meet my Instagram goal...don't give up on me! :) Remember your goal #4 (and you feel bad for me with my 3 kids and an observation this week!). LOL I am so impressed that you've gone over a month without Diet Coke----super impressed! I already know I can't do it! And, I don't think you should change your feelings about education-we need people like you to speak up for all of us-I LOVE YOUR PASSION!

(I only got TWO -- and we found out we are making them up at the end of the year. Boo!) I am reading Divergent now. It arrived last week via my "boyfriend" -- the UPS man -- who comes to deliver my love packages from Amazon Prime on a regular basis. I'm glad to hear that you have just read it too -- I was thinking I was coming late to the game. So far, it's pretty good. My son is hurrying me along because he wants to read it next. Ahhh...kids. :)<br /><br />Have a great week!

On our recent snow day here in Jersey I finally sat down and watched Season 1 of Downton Abbey.. I wanted to see what all the hype was.... Lets just say I keep peeking in my mailbox for Season 2! Get watching... I don't think you'll be sorry.

That means no laundry stress this weekend!<br /><br />#2---Diet Coke is overrated. I'm drinking one now and it doesn't taste THAT great. (I was always a diet cherry Pepsi girl when I drank soda)<br /><br />#3---I haven't read a book in so long. I started The Life of Pi a few months ago, but haven't read since. I go through spurts. Good for you for reading so much!<br /><br />#5---Be bossy! Who cares! Someone's gotta take charge, right? I'm the baby of 5 kids, and people always called me bossy.<br /><br />#6---Why cook when you got a man who'll do it for you? Take advantage and enjoy!<br /><br />#8---Join that Amazon Prime already!! I bit the Prime bullet a few months ago and have never regretted it. You won't either.<br /><br />Ali<br /><a href="http://www.teachingpoweredbycaffeine.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>Teaching Powered by Caffeine</b></a>Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336990443456260927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713636946216316666.post-57975271343303197212014-01-30T20:22:29.464-06:002014-01-30T20:22:29.464-06:00Now I am stressing on making the February button, ...Now I am stressing on making the February button, thanks for getting my butt in gear!

Tomorrow marks the one month annivesary of the last time I had a Pepsi - I like to say I have not had a Pepsi since last year - technically it is true. I read Divergent but then left Insurgent sitting on the book pile for months. Maybe the movie will jump start my interest again. Congrats on the weight loss - that is awesome. I hear you on the smiling more - I have a horrible fake smile so I just can't do it, sarcastic just looks better on my face. :)Elementary AMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972140936502799290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713636946216316666.post-90911605971643978432014-01-30T18:47:40.026-06:002014-01-30T18:47:40.026-06:00Thanks, JR.

You have a lot of them! I have wanted to join Prime for a while too, but I hate spending money on stuff like that. So, I signed up for a free 6 month membership using my daughter's college email. I'll decide after the 6 months if I can't live without it. <br />I do all the grocery shopping and most of the cooking whereas my husband does all of the laundry. I would trade those roles in a hot second! I have lots of food allergies and now my husband is trying the Paleo diet. Doesn't make things easy. <br />Good luck on your next month goals!

I think the free 2-day shipping has more than paid for itself! I'm also relieved that I'm not the only one who has a monstrous Bloglovin' feed to get through (I'm down to only 551 posts now...yowza)! And one last thing...where in Biloxi did y'all go?? I'm from just down the road, in Jackson County. I'm rather partial to the Hard Rock myself, but that's just me! It's probably because I'm a sucker for Starbucks and Ben & Jerry's. ;)<br /><br />Sarah Beth<br /><a href="http://misswhitesclassroom.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Miss White's Classroom</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713636946216316666.post-75040737554560595762014-01-30T14:26:40.676-06:002014-01-30T14:26:40.676-06:00Sounds like you're doing alright with your goa...Sounds like you're doing alright with your goals!
