Tuesday Tell-All

*First off, thanks for all the support after yesterday’s post! Something I’ve discovered in the past year about myself is that I am really sensitive to negative criticism about my work performance (surprisingly, I’m not too sensitive at all when it comes to constructive criticism), so this whole ordeal at work has been really stressful …

*Matt and I finally made it back down to Bountiful this weekend, which meant we got to see all the new BABIES in the family! Here I am holding a picture of little Bode, the fourth addition to my sister’s family. Good thing I’m not the type to get baby hungry because they are pretty …

*I am just itching to go out on a fall walk, what with all the trees changing and all. Someone want to come teach for me so I can have a break? *Actually, I’m getting my first sub tomorrow, since I’ll be heading down south for a training all day. I’m a little nervous–I’ve already …

*See that hot mess of bananas and whipped cream and huge hunks of peanut butter cup? Doesn’t it look AMAZING? Well, it was. And yes, this is the second time I’ve cleaned the sink in a month. When you’ve gotta celebrate, you’ve gotta go to Angie’s. It’s the local rule. *Can I postulate a hypothesis …

*I taught my first day of school today. It was my first first day of school as a teacher ever, and I am EXHAUSTED. I feel like my feet have swollen up like a pregnant lady’s (I’m sure never wearing those heels again in this heat!), and I needed a Dr. Pepper something awful by …
