An Ode to Pre Workout

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I was thinking 
“I’ve lived my whole life without you by my side.”

But then I tried you late at night
And you did me wrong!
Oh, I felt strong!
And I was awake so very long!

But now you’re back!
And I’m used to your taste.
I just open the packet, shake the bottle
And pour you into my face.

I shoulda never drank you so late
I can’t believe how much I had to pee
But now I know that 3 o’clockish
Is the perfect time for me

Go on, now, go!
Pump me up on the floor!
Give me the energy
To keep exercising even more

Weren’t you the one
That made my heart race and I thought I’d die?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Well I’m gonna give you another try!

Oh, oh, oh
I will survive
Drinking strawberry flavored powder
Gives me a real nice vibe!

An Update in the Spring of 2023

Image
An Update in Photos: For spring break my family traveled around some towns in and near the MI River. It was our first trip of the summer in our camper, and it felt very good to be back into the swing of things camping-wise. Although I did have a hard time remembering HOW to do "stuff" that we need to know. My favorite thing about the trip was when we walked out to Potosi Point in Potosi, WI to watch the sunset over the Mississippi River.  We have been getting our yard ready for spring! Mostly working on cleaning and organizing; also tossing old and broken toys and tools, etc. Oliver is officially old enough now to help with the dog waste, which is fantastic! So GLAD we had kids! Before the weather turned wonky, we got some hiking in on our break! I had read about the Pelicans returning to Nygren Wetlands, so we went out there with my aunt planning to walk 2.5 miles, but instead, got in a surprising 4 miles! At the end of the loop, the path was so flooded that we could not get...

Lessons about life, love, and myself from my 35th year; Hello 36!

Image
1.  I had never tried a 100 Grand Bar until this year. I LOVE THEM! Snickers is still at the top of my list, but 100 Grand is making its way up there! 2. I did not know that a beaver was more than just a cute little animal with a big flat tail and buck teeth. Now I know. I am appalled. 3. It is possible to pull a butt muscle while playing Pickleball. Who knew?  4. I love watching youtube videos about the following topics: Pickleball, Chocolate Art ( Pastry chef Amaury Guichon), candy-making (like candy canes or hard candies) and Nate the Hoof Guy.  5. APA ONLY capitalizes the first letter of the first word of an article… MLA does all first letters of the “important words.”  6. You can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed…and it turns out you actually CAN just be whelmed.  7. Costco doesn’t have to be scary… just choose a time when you’re not hungry, tired, or in a rush.  8. Read the reviews on Shein BEFORE you purchase. 9. Audiobooks are nice, b...

A collection of thoughts after day 1 of year 14:

Image
And so begins year 14. A collection of thoughts. After a day like today, two things are certain: 1. My voice is sore. 2. I was called to teach. Every year I get the back-to-school nerves, and every year by the time 7:46am hits, I feel like I’m back in the saddle again! I just start talking and I think to myself, “man! I’m good!” And also, “oh yeaaaa this feels right.” I can’t believe we did this during a worldwide pandemic. What in the actual heck?! It seems like a bad dream, but, do not doubt it, the effects of the “covid years” are very evident in the social, academic, and mental health of our students. I’m so lucky to be at Willowbrook. The teachers here actually LIKE to be here. They LOVE to teach. And they LIVE to make an impact on these kids. I mean, let’s be honest, it takes a special heart to WANT to teach middle school! But we do. We’re there in the trenches every day battling things like stuck lockers, losing homework, love triangles, identity crisis, fights, vaping, broken f...
