You work out at 9:30? Wow, I wish I could be that motivated! =)

It's the only time I have to do it. : )
DeleteI wish that I had 2 paras that worked in my room all of the time! I cannot wait to have a student teacher one day either!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!

I am very excited for her to be with us. She starts out with two days a week until March and then full time. I get her for the whole semester.
DeleteI'm thankful my kids are still little enough to be excluded from after-school activities and homework. I'm not sure I could leave at 3:30 every day. Won't be long though, my oldest is four.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have a very early start to your day. I'm up by 7:00 and even that's a struggle -- ha ha.

Up by 7? Wow. What time do you start school?
DeleteI just posted to the linky party as a result of your post and linked to your page too in my post. Thanks, this is fun. A workout is the one thing that always seems to elude me. We do a group workout as school on Wednesdays after school, but I don't think the one day a week really cuts it. ;)

I think my husband would get me one of those watches if he could. (Don't tell him though!)
