Free Zoo Day

My EL job at the elementary was good last week. The good part and also the hard part was that I was teaching lessons all day long. I wasn't expecting that as a para. I have to figure out 6 different lesson plans everyday. Each lesson is 30 minutes and I have 1-7 students at a time. I'm working with very small groups. I just hate figuring out what I'm supposed to do. Luckily I've been teaching English lessons for almost a year with VIPKid so that experience has helped me a lot with this job. They haven't found anyone to fill the job yet so I will be subbing next week as well. The principal asked me if I would sub until they found someone and I told her I could only commit through next week and I'd have to let her know after that. I just don't want to be stuck in a job for who knows how long. So we will see if next week is my last week or not.

I've been drinking a ton of water lately and I've been feeling a lot less tired. I always knew that water was important but I read an article that shared 20 benefits and water is just amazing. I had no idea that water was important for helping the body release melatonin which helps you sleep better at night. Did you know that??? I didn't. It's amazing!

On Saturday we went to free zoo day. We normally avoid crowds like that but I really wanted to do something as a family so I thought we should try it out and see how crazy it was. It was pretty crazy but we were there early and by the time we left it was getting more and more crowded. I was ready to GET out of there. After that we went to Big Juds. It was so yummy. We never eat out with our kids so it was a special treat.

I don't care about the Superbowl but I did want to eat the snacks so we got ALL the junk food and we've been watching a bit. I liked the halftime show. Well that's about it.

The lion came right up to us.

The sloth bear came up to us too.

Yum!
