Hello there! How is it that it is already November? Two more months till the end of 2019. November is my birthday month so that with Thanksgiving Day (and break) makes it my favorite month. 🙂

This week I did not run at all. I meant to but just couldn’t and didn’t want to get out there. I did take one Peloton class but was so bored with the music that I just zoned out of it.
We got snow on Wednesday and Thursday. Ugh! I hate it. Plus, it is so early in the year for snow.

On Wednesday we had our Monster Math Family Night. For sure I thought families would not show up because of the weather. It had stopped snowing but it was cold and windy. We had so many families show up. It was a fun night!
On Thursday my kids were EXCITED. We had a fun day! We did some work but we also colored, watched a movie, and did a fun math activity.
The picture on the right is my car after school on Thursday. The one on the right is from Friday morning. 🙁
Friday was the end of the 1st Quarter. Yep, 10 weeks working with my 2nd graders. That means 30 more to go. Sigh. 10 weeks felt like a lifetime. I really shouldn’t complain since I “only” have 16 students, but it’s been very challenging due to the different levels and some behavior issues.
So that night I went out with friends for dinner and drinks. We ordered a pitcher of cucumber margarita. It was so good. I drank it like I hadn’t drank any water at all. Yeah, I paid the price of it later since I woke up with a slight headache on Saturday morning.
Who else watched the NYC Marathon? I am a huge Desi fan and was rooting for her to win. She had a lead but ended up in 6th place.
I had no desire to ever run the NYC Marathon but now watching the race got me motivated. I entered the early drawing for 2020. I am also going to enter the MCM lottery and hopefully get selected for one of the marathons.

Have you run the NYC Marathon? What are your marathons plans for 2020?
