Pencils, books, and Teachers oh yah!!

I should have titled yesterday's post "sleep." Today's post will be titled. Pencils, books, and Teachers oh yah!!

My feelings about sleep are unchanged. However it is boring to complain about the same thing every day. 5:16 am

Today is my first official day of full time employment in 17 years. The last time I worked a full time job I made 8.25 an hour. This gig is paying slightly more. :) 6:10 am

Correction... The pass 17 years I have been a stay at home mom. The stay at home mom of four kids whom range in age, from oldest to youngest, 6 years and 9 days. This job technically qualified as full time and then some. The pay was priceless! 6:18 am

I can't believe I feel the need to be politically correct on my own blog! 6:19 am

I totally distracted myself from the fact that today is my first official day of my first official job in 17 years! Yikes!! 6:20 am

I forgot to charge EVERYTHING, I spilled toothpaste on my shirt, I just stepped in a puddle of water, and my stomach hurts. Maybe I should call in sick. Stressed 7:26am

Survived! A very long day of training I have three pages of typed notes, a massive binder full of procedure, policies, curriculum, and rules. Back to school night tomorrow. I hope they like me. Night all 10:24 pm

Ride 103.5 miles, CHECK!

Friday 9:40 am I have always lived my life defined. Meaning that I know who I am and I know my capabilities. I am perfectly aware of what I can and can not accomplish. Which is why I never do anything that I wont succeed. Also, a reason why I don't do a lot of things. A LOT! Among the definition of who I am is, "Not an athlete." Really, when we get down to it, it is the reason why I am freaking out about a 100 mile bike ride. Athletes ride a 100 miles, non-athletes aka Krissi do not ride 100 mile bike rides. It is very very simple. Yet here I am messing with my very own definition. I have every confidence that I will reach the end of the ride tomorrow. I have trained, I have worked, I have screwed with the very definition of who I am. Leaving the only option of finishing and dealing with what I have done to myself. I am positive that somewhere around 50 miles I will question and doubt my capability of finishing. I am positive that I will remember, "I am not athlete!...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

The Second of December

Today is already the second day of December. If I'm not careful the month is going to pass in a blink. Today is also the second day of Hanukkah. I watched the lighting of the National Menorah on TV today and realized how grateful I am to live in a country where we celebrate and embrace all different cultures, religions, and people. It is pretty awesome! I just wanted to pop in for a few minutes and say "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!" Krissi
