Swimming

Living in Ohio means January isn't really ideal swimming weather. We have to wait until about June to really enjoy any outdoor swimming. Today though we are going to take advantage of a day off together and a little bit of extra money and go to a hotel to take advantage of their pool. I'm fairly excited. We both LOVE to swim and I wish we could do it more often as it is great exercise. I'll be sleeping good tonight that is for sure!

Candlelight bubble baths

It's something you always see in a movie and think awe so cute, but so not something that ever happens in real life. Fast forward to today. I have a BAD day at work, totally stressed out for no apparent reason cranky as all get out and Steven and I have this conversation:

Me-"I think I just need to take a long hot shower to relax"
Steven- "Why don't you take a hot bath instead, that's relaxing"
"I like listening to music otherwise I get bored and we have no plugs in our bathroom, so I can't"
"You can use my MP3 player and I'll even go start the water for you"
"Ok, but there better be a lot of bubbles"


He leaves and starts the bath I have to explain to him where the bubble bath is. A few minutes later he comes to the bedroom and says it should be ready soon. I say thank you and walk into the bathroom. A tub FULL of bubbles, more than I've ever been able to achieve in my life, and candles all over the place. It was one of the best things anyone has ever done for me. I instantly started to cry and then proceeded to take a very relaxing bath :)

Chocolate!

I have an issue and I can admit it. If there is chocolate around me or in the house I cannot keep my fingers out of it. I don't buy it often because I know I have no self control (which is ridiculous), but being a teacher you get TONS of candy for Christmas. It's almost gone, but that surely hasn't helped my waist line. I almost just want to hurry and eat it all that way it can be gone and I can try to get back into shape again.

A clean organized house

During the week I don't do a whole lot of cleaning. I should probably start, so that my weekend isn't always dedicated to cleaning, but I like to relax after work and spend time with Steven instead of scrubbing the toilet. I love the feeling though when your house is clean and everything is put away. I'm supposed to be working on that now, but I also like to procrastinate :)

Pizza Rolls

Never as a kid do I remember EVER getting to eat pizza rolls. I ate my fair share of personal frozen pizzas, but never pizza rolls. I didn't even eat them in college and I would consider pizza rolls a great college food. Quick, easy, and tasty. I now cannot get enough of them. I know they aren't good for me by any means, but they are great for nights like tonight when Steven is gone all night and I just don't feel like cooking for one person.

Preschoolers

Teaching preschool everyday can either be seen as a huge blessing and make you happy or a giant stress and make you grumpy. Before the holidays I feel like I was on the grumpy side of things. I was seeing the trouble my students were causing and dwelling in it. This week has been SO much better though and I think it's because I've finally remembered to take the time to laugh and be silly with them. I love sitting down and talking to a 3 year old.

Pictures

I love having pictures to look at and remember days that have long been forgotten. I love taking pictures. I NEVER remember to take my camera though. I would absolutely love to do a 365 photo blog, but I know darn well that I would never have a picture to post and if I did they would begin to look very similar after a few weeks because I live a very routine life. That being said here is my favorite picture of my terrific husband and myself celebrating New Years last night.
