Ways Losing Weight is Like Back to School
Welcome to "Same Old Sh*t" Saturday, where I show my commitment to "blogging green" by recylcing old posts. I thought this one was timely seeing how most of our kids have gained about 40 lbs (if my daughter Holly's backpack is any indication). But look on the bright side: only 280 or so days until summer vacation!
Love this list!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I've never been one to want to go back to school... but if I must, and I must, I'm eating the apple I brought for teacher; she can have that cafeteria death tray,
ReplyDeleteYou're so "green" Jack. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteCool. I love the "It's important to learn subtraction" one. :)

Having a plan - what? Had to laugh at the planning comment - I once had a teaching colleague walk into our office after a class and exclaim that things really do go better when you have a (lesson) plan. It's sad, but true ;D.
ReplyDeleteGreat analogy, Jack! Two of my kids are in college and one's a teacher so the back-to-school excitement is in full swing here at the Castle.
