This week has been BUSY!  Yesterday I had an afternoon training meeting for school from 12-3pm. Best part about it? It didn't start until 12pm and my sub came in at 11:15am... which meant I got to eat lunch at home! It felt so weird to be home during the day. Our training was 'Active-killer' training... aka what to do if someone comes into school with clear intents of violence and killing. Fun.

I love that I haven't frozen my tush off running outside, because the temps have been so mild. But the teacher in me is saying, "Where is the SNOW?!?" We've got five free snow days... and I definitely would like to use them. Nothing like getting paid to stay home in a cozy house during a blizzard.] It was even nice enough out that I got to bust out a new pair of Nike tempos that I received for Christmas! Love the black with the pink & white polka dots. Getting ready to tem...
