So, I was at a movie with my friends a while ago and we were talking about our favorite guilty pleasure movies. Movies that you love, but you are embarrased to admit it. It was fun to hear about some really awesome movies.
I had a hard time thinking of one since I love most movies... The closest I could think of is Son in Law. I haven't seen it in a whild, but I do own it. It brings back a lot of memories with my little sis. (Bec........ca)
So I want to know what are your favorite guilty pleasure movies??

So not worth it...
So yesterday I took the day off because I was sick. It's always hard to be gone as a teacher and you just hope and picture your kids doing a good job,listening, working; your substitute has everything he/she needs and expects good behavior from your students; your plans are detailed enough and easy to follow.
NOT SO yesterday. I come to my desk this morning and see a note: "Miss Gray, today was not the best day, I'll be honest. I had problems with every child. Except for (insert only 3 names here out of 20)"... Then, the secretary comes and tells you of 2 students needing to be sent to the office, the teacher next door needing to come in for help, the students said that kids were playing with timers and staplers, and saying they should have a party when the sub had to leave the room... etc. etc.
WOW! My students are so much better than this. It's especially not good since this same sub is coming back on Friday while I go to a conference. So, of course today was not a fun day at school. We made lots of changes, missed recess. I was just so disappointed. So, I question myself, and other teachers... is it worth it?
The one thing I did gain from yesterday was U2 tickets!!! June 3rd!!! I can't wait.

Catch up
Once again, waaay too long since I last blogged. I'll do my best to recap the exciting winter months since September.
In October, I made my first trip to Moab with my family. It was so much fun. I am proud to say that I survived a somewhat scary and very bumpy ride on Hell's Revenge. Almost everyone in the family was able to go (minus Cole and Norm, since Cole was in the choir that performed at General Conference). One of our favorite trips and I believe we are planning on making that an annual trip.
Perhaps the most exciting thing was the birth of my 3rd niece: Ruby. She is just perfect and such a cutie! She was just blessed 2 weeks ago and is already getting big! Now I'm so excited for my 4th niece to be born in May to my other sister! I LOVE being an aunt.
For the holidays I mainly was with my family at my parent's house. We had lots of games (including a new family favorite - Rock Band), lots of food and fun. I have the best family and have the most fun with them.
Since the New Year, I have not had anything too exciting to speak of, just teaching away - trying to make sure my students get all of their content for end of year testing!!
I have been pretty engrossed with the Olympics however. My favorite people/moments so far: Evan Lysacek winning gold (so tall dark and handsome for a male figure skater!), Hanna Kearny's gold in women's mogul, men and women's half pipe, love Simonn Ammann (Swiss ski jumper, he is always so enthusiastic it's hard not to be too), USA hockey beating Canada, and not a favorite moment, but certainly memorable was Nodar Kumaritashvili: the Georgian luger who was killed in training the day before the games. Very tragic and sad.
Now, just crunch time until the end of May and then SUMMER VACATION!!! I can't believe how fast this school year is almost over... Hopefully I'll blog again before that.
