She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes!

Hello Dear Friends!!!!

I am just checking in with a very quick hello to let you know that I will be back in full blogging swing on May 3! Whoo hoooo - I am so stinking close I can taste it (and it sort of tastes like chocolate - yeah, the feeling of almost being finished with grad school is THAT good!)

Thank you to Shala @ Follow Me Down and Michele @ Ruminations and Uncovering: Toward a New ME! for leaving me a message this week - it truly warmed the cockles of my heart to know that I have not been forgotten during my semester of student teaching. I'm all the more motivated to get back into blogging and conversing with you all - not to mention how excited I am to get back on the fitness and weight loss bandwagon. I have decided to give myself a gym membership as a graduation present!!!

I can't wait to share with you all what has been been going on with me since January! I feel like I have been gone forever! I hope that all of you have been kicking your fat cells to the curb and doing awesome! I look forward to catching up with you all and hearing some good news!!!!

I'll be looking for some weight-loss challenges when I get back to blogging - so keep me in mind! I know I bombed the Christmas Dress Challenge - but hey - that's in my rearview mirror now (no matter how large my REAR VIEW is)....I'm trying to look forward these days - not behind (no pun intended)!

Ok - gotta get back to the grind (I have about 31 lesson plans that aren't going to write themselves (oh how I wish they would!). I also have to work on a bulletin board project from hell.

Can I just say that first grade is kicking my ass sideways?

Ok - stay well, my friends - see you May 3!!!

All my best,

Rochelle
