Now That's an Improvement

Yesterday my day consisted of:

-a broken garage door, preventing me from being able to get my car out of the garage
-being late to work with no time to prepare for the day
-no special/prep time
-my fly being open
-losing an earring
-staying at school until 8pm to get 3 days worth of sub plans ready

Today my day consisted of:

-attending a conference with 6 other teachers from my school in Phoenix
-my first ride on the light rail
-having Dan Majerle join our lunch

I look so short in this picture! Weird!

I guess you could say that things are looking up. :)

Ten Cents

This is exactly why I end up spending so much money on Amazon:

The Dream Is Over...

...when the alarm clock goes off.

I used to be pretty good at waking up in the mornings.  Here's what my mornings look like nowadays:

5:25 Alarm buzzes, I hit snooze.

5:30 Alarm buzzes, I hit snooze.

5:35 Alarm buzzes, I hit snooze.

5:30 Alarm buzzes, I hit snooze.

5:35 Alarm buzzes, I hit snooze.

5:40 Alarm buzzes, I hit snooze.

5:45 Alarm buzzes, I hit snooze.

5:50 Alarm buzzes, I hit dismiss.

(that's the only option my phone gives me at this point)

6:05 Realize I need to wake up, but lay my head back down instead.

6:20 Get up.

7:33 Show up at work 3 minutes late. 

Those days are gone.  I've made a resolution.  NO MORE SNOOZE BUTTON!! I've made several other resolutions of late, but I need to share this one because it's going to be the toughest one to keep.  I've made it two days so far.  Hope I can keep it up.  

If not, I'm buying one of these:

The Simon Alarm 

The Laser Target Alarm

Sfera Alarm

(every time you hit snooze, it moves closer to the ceiling)

Flying Alarm
