"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten." BF Skinner

Half day today! *happy dance* Oh, I am so happy! My students are happy...it's really a day of happiness. Minus my stomach, which is not happy because it is hungry. I will have 5 1/2 days off. Yes...seriously! No snow days means we get our WHOLE break...which means I am in a lovely mood right now. Woo!

Biggest Loser last night...

Brown team - Really, that's enough with the pity party. Sometimes you have to buck up and take it. Everyone is playing for themselves now. No one is going to save you but you. So you better start putting the energy you are using hating people into busting your butt so you don't go below the line.

End Biggest Loser rant.

I'm hungry...and running behind...but I don't care because it is a half day. *sigh* 

"Sleep is a symptom of caffeine deprivation." ~Author Unknown

I am not in a good mood. Why, you ask? Well, if you guessed the big, furry, yellow creature I call Truman, you are right. 1:45 the whimpering/barking started. Mr. S. took him outside...whimpering/barking became more insistant once he was brought back in and put in his crate. 2:22 I decide I am going to need SOME sort of sleep and my roomie, S, is probably getting irritated by now. I get up, let yellow monster out, and try to fall asleep on the couch. He was up and down throughout the night, annoying me. Tears may have fallen and my frustration is getting out of control. I have a migraine to start my day. I love the dog...don't get me wrong, I do. I don't want to get rid of him, I just want him to sleep.

How am I ever going to lose weight if I can't sleep? Yes, weird question. I was reading an article where these women changed NOTHING (meaning their diet and excercise), but they all attempted to get 7.5 hours of sleep each night over the course of a month or two. Just sleep changed. They lost about an average of 11 lbs. Just from sleeping. Come on now, dog. 

*yawn* I hope this is not the start of another horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day. 

There is a college that is going to have a class to teach parents Facebook. A class. On Facebook. Oh, United States. 

Oh, and the twist on The Biggest Loser...hmm...interesting. I *heart* the brown team. I want to see them do well. And Mandy on the yellow team gets on my nerves.
