Here's my new blog.

I'm trying to turn over a new blogging leaf. The livejournal got too whiny, and I never felt like posting. And, this makes it easier to post pictures. I think a change of scenery might do me some good. I'm not giving up on LJ, just trying something new.

I've been getting the run around from the school system all summer. It seems there's a shortage of middle school teachers, and I lack my 7-8 certification. I've been all but promised a job if I had a 7-8 certification, but since I don't, I'd have to wait and see what happens when school starts- if there's an opening, perhaps an overcrowded ( Read more... )

- Someone has suggested to the Johnson City Commission that all cats and dogs within city limits must be spayed or neutered.  Seriously, Is this why I pay all those extra tax dollars? So you can spend the time I pay for deciding the birth control rights of my housecats? (Who, btw, are both fixed.) Thank goodness they have an attorney to straighten ( Read more... )

Yesterday, both of the teachers for Bible School were sick ( Read more... )

 I came to work this morning thinking I was going to the Cox Development Company to learn how one of our board members buys land, develops it and turns a tidy proffit. Boy, was I wrong ( Read more... )

It was also my job at Coalition for Kids to take all 60 of our children to the Knoxville Zoo. Now, I don't want to sound like a martyr, but it is a good idea to ensure your child has their ADD/HD meds before you send them two hours from home to be supervised by an out-of-work frazzled school teacher. Just an FYI. I was disappointed because I spent ( Read more... )

Wow, it's only been a week since I've posted, and I've been walking around feeling guilty all this time because I thought I was living my life without sharing it with my blog. I guess things HAVE been really busy around here. Here's a quick update:

D.C. Highlights:

Cedrick and I got to walk the Mall in the rain. Fun..wet..grumpy..

Through a throughly weird twist of fate, I have been released from the Coalition for four days to go to Washington, D.C. for an almost free vacation. A friend of mine has to go to a conference, and I'm riding a along to take her 12 year old son around to show him the sights. :) More updates whenever I can get ahold of a computer.. woot, woot!!

Dear McDonalds,

Your new "Southern Style Chicken Sandwich" is a piss poor imitation of Chik-Fil-A. Stop while you're ahead, tuck your tail between your legs, go home and make someting new with your flat burger patties. Your filet tastes like pickle juice, and there's still all that poor quality you've come to expect from McDonalds when they try to ( Read more... )

Sorry about the long time, no post, but I've been pretty busy. Not just with my summer job, which pretty much rocks, considering, but also with other summertime things, like trips to get ice cream or game nights or just in general hanging out with Joanie because she doesn't have any homework. I told her the other night that I feel like we should ( Read more... )
