I thought I finished unpacking January 1
So yeah... my house is filled with boxes. First I got the taste of home stuff in giant boxes. I unpacked those boxes and found little boxes in them. Then I sorted everything by the person's order and now the little boxes are all over my table. The big boxes are in the living room still. We had to move the couch too into the middle of the living ( Read more... ) -
Packin'
I don't know about you guys, but I think we better start 'packin' before we go to class. Scary stuff at V-tech. The MSN picture I saw was very disturbing. He looked very full of hate. Probably the kind of hate Daniel B. felt after some asshole stole his jacket and keys and identity and cash and nice money holding clip. Sorry there was just no other ( Read more... ) -
Failure
I'm a failure as a teacher. I can't keep this kid from staying out of trouble no matter what I do. It sucks. He was throwing shit at another kid during language arts and so I had to send him to the office. He was suspended on Tuesday. Now he has two detentions next week. Goodness gracious. I just hope he is at school on Monday. He has threatened ( Read more... ) -
Drunk
So it is 1:21 pm on Saturday. I just drank half a bottle of very old wine. I am having trouble typing. If there are like a hundred typo's in this email that is why... I was hungry and it was like 11:30 so I was like well that's lunch time. But I didn't have lunch I did laundry and I scrapbooked the last of the cabin pictures and one page of Leigh's ( Read more... ) -
Chief
So I when I walk into the office, I never make my presence known. I like to sneak in, hear idle gossip, and sneak back out so as not to be regarded as the eavesdropper (SP?) So I walk in today and one of my friends spots me. I mention I am going to Champaign this weekend and she asks me about the Chief. Now not actually being a U of I alum I say I ( Read more... ) -
People whose bachelorette parties I am obligated to go to...
Heidi, Ashley, Erin, and Karyn... That's it. Those are the only people who went to mine so I will not be made to feel bad for missing anyone else's. I can't go to Leigh's because I have the Cubs game. I can't go to Ilene's because I have Leigh's wedding. I am planning on going to Lombardo's but I don't know when it is... Let's talk about showers.

God, Snow, and Scrapbooking
So I am convinced that angels follow me around all day long and constantly save me from death... Last night I drove home from scrapbooking at about midnight and it had started snowing. The roads were slick from the freshly falling snow so I couldn't go very fast but I was still swerving all over the road. Then I helped organize this scrapbooking ( Read more... ) -
Being broke in the snow
So I know a lot of people out there hate teachers because "we have it so easy..." Well here is one more reason to hate us... snow days. I couldn't believe it when I looked online and it said school was closed. After listening to the 4 messages left on my answering machine from 5:11-5:35, I realized it must be happening. The morning news was the ( Read more... ) -
Sundays are for God and Football
I can't say I did anything this Sunday though. I didn't go to church and with the Superbowl being next week no big games this week. So Sundays are for grading papers might have been a more appropriate title for this entry. I graded a lot of papers today. I also watched Snakes On a Plane after I vowed not to. I blame Terry and his love for all ( Read more... ) -
no heat and fun facts about American history
Today I arrived at school and immediately proceed to almost fall on my ass because I refuse to wear winter shoes even though it is snowing. I was wearing my black ballet slippers and of course no socks and after running safely through the parking lot and wiping my feet on the rug near the door I take one step on the tile and almost lost it... So ( Read more... )
