Plans for the Weekend

Since the boy has another weekend of bathfitters I myself will be enjoying some much needed alone time. Not just from him, but from everyone. Tomorrow after work I plan on spending a little time doing laundry and cleaning and most of the time watching the rest of the first season of Hell on Wheels. Which I started watching the show right when I started dating Alex. Then as we started hanging out more and more I pushed the show aside and forgot about it. Then on Saturday a few friends and I are trying to get together to do the Lakefront Brewery Tour. I haven't done a Brewery tour since I've turned the proper age. Later on in the day the house will be empty again and I will finish cleaning and catching up on some more TV with a little dinner with the boy after he is done. Sunday I might swing by my grandparents place since I haven't seen them in awhile and to finally put on my plates for my car. It has only been a month since I renewed them here in the state of WI. I also need to get all of the materials needed for school and finish up lesson plans.

Monday Musings

-Today I officially took over as lead teacher in the toddler room. I'm so excited, but that means lesson plans and projects are going to keep me continuously busy.

-I went to the store during my lunch break to get some groceries and the cashier noticed my work shirt and said he had went there as a child. Then he went on to tell me all about his family life in about 2 minutes. I'm sorry but I don't really want to sit and listen to how your parents divorced and they were fighting for custody of you...blah, blah, blah.

-Kids. They are quite incredibly annoying and rude and not good listeners all while being incredibly cute and loving and kind.

-My aunt is having surgery tomorrow to remove a tumor and will hopefully find out that its not cancerous.

That is all folks.

Fashion Friday

As promised I was going to fill you in on my bucket list adventure and my happenings over the weekend. I crossed off rock climbing!! Yay! My boyfriend took me rock climbing for my birthday a few weeks ago and let me tell you it was so much fun. I'm seriously thinking of taking it up as a hobby, but don't really have any place close to me to do such, so I'm waiting for a little while at least.

The weekend was filled with good times spent with the boy. Friday night was our chill and watch pointless tv night. Saturday we were up early and ready to hit Rock the Green which was a small music festival in Milwaukee. It featured artists such as Third Eyed Blind, Switchfoot, Imagine Dragons and Atlas Genius just to name a few. We got to see these artists for $30!!! It was for a good cause, basically saving the environment and ways we can help the earth out. But obviously as much as I care about saving the planet and going green, I was digging the music more. After the concert we went to Conjitios which served authentic Mexican food on paper plates! And it was dirt cheap, but super delicious. On Sunday we had a relatively laid back morning. We went to the mall mid afternoon to kill some time before going to a bbq at his second bosses place. He does his little bathfitters gig on the side and they had a get together to celebrate finishing another year of festivals and fairs. Although he still does them periodically throughout the year. I got to meet some of the people who worked with him and most of them were really nice. We had great weather for it too. That was my weekend in a nutshell. Yes that took me longer that anticipated.

Today is fashion friday and I actually have the clothes to do this next outfit, minus the white scarf, so I'm going brown, but I think that fits as well. Really any color scarf would work.

I have a darker version of the denim shirt and different brown boots, but I love the comfiness of the outfit and how dressed up it can be at the same time. Given that it is officially fall I can wear this outfit and not get too hot and not be too cold either.

We Be Jammin'

Nothing too exciting here. I will inform you of my awesome weekend and I forgot to mention to you something I crossed off the bucket list a few weeks ago in a later post. Today it's simply this: I'm constantly reminded why I love my job. It was a very rainy day today and the kiddos were stuck inside. We decided to have a dance party and we put in some Bob Marley and away we went. The kids and I had a such a great time. Every once in awhile, you just have to stop the teaching and learning and just have a dance party.

That type of weekend

No musings for you today sorry. I've had a rather dull weekend or weird depending on how you look at it. I had a rather rough time with the boy. I know our relationship isn't perfect and we are going to have many more days like this between us. I just felt he was distant and trying to push me away. I think I just overanalyzed it all. I know he probably wanted a little bit of space from his crazy Friday night out with his best friend. Things were just awkward between us then and I did a lot of thinking and a lot of crying, not in front of him of course. I talked to my most trusted girlfriends and asked for their advice and they said the same thing, all relationships are going to have some bumps and you aren't always going to say sweet little nothings to each other. But we see how you to interact and we can tell you love each other a lot. I do love him a lot and I know he knows that. I believe that he loves me back as well, but it just seemed as if I was in his way or interfering and he would rather have been just left alone. You do have to take the good with the bad. And learn and grow from each other. Most of all listen and communicate with each other. Have open lines of communication and I don't think you can fail. Although, I know thats a lot easier said than done all the time, especially when you aren't living with that person. I don't demand perfection from him, I just want his kindness and love.
