Really, seriously, can I not wake up in the morning with the house looking like shit.  Left over breakfast spread all over the kitchen, three empty bread bags, an empty pickle jar and the recycling just laying all over the floor.  I don't think it's that much to ask to at least throw the empty jars, bags, boxes, etc. away.  Nor do I think it's that ( Read more... )

I figured since I haven't posted anything since April I should probably write something.  I'm still frustrated in the fact that we keep trying to teach the kids manners and their mother doesn't want to be a good example.  For example we've been reminding the kids to say excuse me after belching, and she won't.  Not to mention that she does these ( Read more... )

I know that I usually seem overly pessimistic, but I'll be totally honest that it's just to much work to be optimistic.  I am seriously just so over stressed that I just don't want to do it anymore.  I still do, but I don't want to.  Today at work I had a student that every time she didn't get what she wanted she would turn around and say something ( Read more... )

I really loath filling out applications for school districts.  It takes a ridiculous amount of time to do it; seriously, 1 to 2 hours.  It's impossible to fill in 10 in one day because doing 3 or more drives me nuts.  I'm still doing it, but I don't like it.  I am done now.

So today the animal projects were due.  After school we were all cleaning up after the Fiesta party when one of the teachers was talking about one of her students projects.  We all went over to her room and she told us that it was suppose to be a snake.  Well, it was a snake all right, but not the reptile kind (if you catch my drift).  I know it ( Read more... )

I am so glad that I finally got a hold of someone who had my old observation teachers phone number.  I called her when I came home and let her know what was going on and she was really nice about my phoning her out of the blue.  She gave me her new email and told me that she would be happy to fill in reference forms for me or phone calls, and that ( Read more... )

So I decided to help me calm down I would check on my contact information for those people that are my references so I can start applying for next years jobs.  It turns out the one I need the most no longer works at my old University.  I'm so confused as to what to do because I need her reference in order to apply to any school districts that I ( Read more... )

Because I work so much at one school I don't have the opportunity to talk to teachers at other schools.  I ran into one that I subbed a lot for last year at the library.  We got to talking and she informed me that there is a huge amount of teachers being placed into the pool this year.  I was feeling so hopeful that next year would be my year, but ( Read more... )

Well today is my older sister's birthday.  My mother told me I should at least say happy birthday to her.  I responded with "Why should I?  She made my birthday hell."  I'm serious, she made me cry on my birthday.  We decided to got see the last Harry Potter for my birthday because for the past ten years this what we always did; except for that one ( Read more... )

I've been working almost non-stop.  I really do enjoy knowing that I have a job instead of worrying about finding one the night before.  I like knowing where I'm going instead of having to Map Quest everything.  The only down side is that I have two ear infections, and I really just want to sleep.  I had the day off on Wednesday to help with the ( Read more... )
