As an old Southern Baptist black woman would say, "Victory in Jesus! Praise the Lawd Hallerrrrrluyar!!" I'm shouting it from the rooftops. VICTORY! I got home yesterday and immediately started searching the net on how to rectify the situation in my classroom. After doing some reading and venting to a couple of my loved ones, I got some great advice. Today I put those techniques into place and was able to get those kids back where they needed to be, behavior-wise.

Today at the gym, I was leaving and nearly tripped over the largest jock strap I've ever seen. It was dripping with sweat. They needed their own zipcode they were so large. The funniest part is thinking about him getting home and realizing his 5X jockey shorts are probably lying in the floor somewhere for people to see.

I was running in between two skinny girls today on the treadmill. Of course I felt like that fat kid from Solute Your Shorts on Nickelodeon running during the camp "athletics" day. They were all graceful and glistening with sweat, while I was panting with "stank face".

I made Josh chicken alfredo tonight, but I didn't want to count all the calories so I tried something new for myself. I boiled some whole wheat penne and added some of the chicken I made for Josh's meal. I added some marinara, a tablespoon of cream cheese and 1 wedge of Laughing Cows Swiss cheese to a pot, then tossed it in with the pasta. Wasn't too bad.
