wow it's been a long time. but I haven't forgotten. I decided that I need to be on LJ as a form of writing, of venting, of explaining what is going on in my life. I haven't been able to fall asleep lately...too much on my mind, so I am using this as a way of getting all the jumbled thoughts in my head out so I can hopefully sleep and who knows, ( Read more... )

*HUGS* to all my dear friends! I am indeed alive and well and wish all of you a very happy New Year and wonderful 2008. I hope this year has treated you well and the next will be even better. As for me 2007 has been a year of ups and downs, to the extreme in some cases, and I never thought that at the beginning of this year I would be where I'm at ( Read more... )

*My brother's surgery went well though it was over 6 hours long and quite extensive. Apparently the difference in his jaw was 10 millimeters and if it is 2 millimeters or more it could only be repaired by surgery. Yikes! His jaw was that of a 12 year old.

Hello Flist! Hope everyone has been doing well! Things here have been pretty good. I can't believe that the Colorado Rockies have made it to the World Series! How crazy is that? I went to a game in June and Coors Field was maybe a fourth full and now Denver is going nuts with Rockies fever! It's actually pretty cool, but ironic. It would be amazing ( Read more... )

1st Day of school! WooHoo! Now I remember why I go through all the BS that I do, it's because of the kids. It's because of the 8th grader that told me I made her day and when I asked why she said "because I saw you!" and gave me a big hug. (Isn't that the best compliment ever?! That you made their day just by seeing you?). It's because of the ( Read more... )

Schedules are done *collapse* ( but I still have to bitch just a little. Ok a lot. )

I just got out of a meeting with my principal and assistant principals about job duties for the year. OMG what did I get myself into?!?! I knew it would be difficult having only one counselor instead of two but wow. I know it will be fine, just seeing it on paper, a calendar of daily duties, is so overwhelming. The sad thing is that the kiddos don' ( Read more... )

Did you know that I have a GreatestJournal? Cause I didn't. :) I was thinking that I should create one, just in case and because my flist seems to be dwindling and lo and behold it's already there! Please look me up and friend me. http://sapphire9977.greatestjournal.com/Read more... )
