Tuesday and Being Strong

[Brandy]

I had a busy day today! Meeting with a parent after school AND a cheer meeting, not to mention getting things organized in my classroom and trying to keep up with grading. I think English teachers have it the roughest when it comes to grading things--all the writing!

The cheerleading team will be interesting. They've already naturally separated themselves between JV and Varsity--all the JV girls sat together and all the Varsity girls sat together. We tried to drive home the fact that we are all one team, but I'm not sure they got it. They are very high maintenance drama-queen types. They wanted to argue about mandatory study halls, practice times, etc. Give me a break! I felt good about not backing down and staying strong with my decisions. They need to see a strong person who is going to stick to what's decided. Even if I know nothing about the sport itself!

Here's my food log:
Breakfast: 1 pumpkin muffin (4 pts)
Lunch: red beans and rice (6 pts)
Snack: 1 pumpkin muffin (4 pts)
Dinner: pork chop and roasted broccoli (7 pts)
Dessert: baked apple (4 pts)
Total: 25 pts

I'm feeling tired. I may go to bed early tonight to re-energize myself. I need some sleepy-sleep time.

LOL on the cheerleader drama-queens. STAY STRONG! :-)
