Ack!

The Muse Household is completely exhausted. We should all go to bed right now and quit. Why do you ask? We way overextended ourselves this weekend. We threw Brodie a birthday party on Saturday. It was a great event, but exhausting. Cleaning, being nice, hosting, etc. Tough stuff! On Sunday, Conner had a birthday party to attend. Jeremy, Conner, and Brodie went to the party. Finally, we had another party today. We are thoroughly exhausted! Yikes!

Spring Activities Day

On Friday, Cordova High School had spring activities day. A couple of weeks ago one of my students asked if I would be willing to take pie in the face for charity. Will I get hurt? Oh who cares! Sure, I'll do it. Well, I started encouraging students to come throw pie in my face. As the time got closer, I discovered the prices of pie throwing. $5 for a smash in my face. $3 to throw it, and $1 to eat it. I was running my mouth all week. Hehehe I told the mathletes, the people who I was helping, and my students that they should call my family and in-laws. I was sure I annoyed a lot of people in my life and they were probably good for a few pies. Oh, the kids thought this was hilarious!! I couldn't believe what I got myself into this, but I was determined to make it fun.

Spring Activities Day started off with a bang. The school got tped/couched/pennied by the seniors. It was amazing. I was cracking jokes all morning about the toilet paper. My juniors and some other really awesome students helped me clean up the E-Wing (English is housed here). We were having the greatest time. At one point, I pretended to jump. I missed by a mile, but we were laughing at how I couldn't jump. Then another girl tried. She too does not have hops. I guess white girls can't jump. Hehehe

We were on a short day, so the day was flying by. I wasn't sure if I would be able to fulfill my obligation to arm wrestle a kid during spring activities day. During one of my periods, I arm wrestled the kiddo. I am pretty sure there is pictures and video of the event. As soon as I get it, I will upload it! I lost of course. The kiddo I was arm wrestling is at least twice my size. We had a great laugh, and a lot of fun.

Then the final bell rang. It was time to get pied. I went down to the area, and the kids were ready. I think they were clapping because I finally arrived. I took the first pie in my face, and I retaliated. I threw whipped cream (which is what the pie was made of) at the students. I started a food fight! We had a blast. I took so much pie in the face, I should be beautiful. I know there are pictures out there, but my students have yet to send them to me. As soon as they do, I will upload those too. :o) It was such a great time. The kids are still sending me texts about it because I didn't have a care in the world. The student whose picture is on top of my blog is a volleyball player and one of my honors students. She was one of the victims of Mrs. Muse's retaliation!! I believe Brooke took the picture and posted it on Facebook, and Shushan tagged me in this picture on Myspace. :o)

I am also the sophomore class advisor. Our booth did not make a lot of money. In fact, we lost money. Taco Bell didn't pull through like we had hoped. Also, our current outgoing representatives are lazy and think we should do it all. They are no longer the president and class reps of the sophomore class, so we shall see what happens next year. :o)

Finally, I also was part of judging Mr. Cordova. These are boys who think they are muscular and want to be crowned Mr. Cordova. It was wierd for me to judge this, but I guess it is a tradition.

There is one downside to the story. It took almost two days to get the whipped cream smell off of me and my hair. I had to wash my hair four times to finally get it all out.

RJ's Miles Increased

Well, Jeremy took RJ to the vet today. Apparently, I am building RJ's miles up too slow. I guess he should be running four miles. Okie dokie! I will be running four miles with RJ. Haha Who would have thought kids and a dog would get me into shape and not the round one. :o)

My English colleagues and I are doing a book blog, and I haven't even bought the books yet. I really need to get crackin! I am really excited because we are going to try to get on board with piloting new books. :o) Finally!!

School is coming to an end. I can not wait for both schools to end. It will be only a few short weeks. :o) Woot, woot!

Puppy Love

Well, I have finally wrapped up my masters program. I am currently working on my last course, and then I am finally done.

A lot has happened since I last blogged. We got a puppy (Beagle) for Valentine's Day. RJ, the beagle, can finally go for a walk. We have been doing a run in the morning, and a walk at night. It is funny how I start to feel guilty when I want to sleep in because the little guy is waiting on me. :o)

Life in the Muse house is going well. My family has been totally supportive while I have been glued to my laptop and my books. My weight has stayed the same. Woot, woot! I worked really hard to prevent stress weight gain! Yea me!!

Happy Trails!
