well, again I haven't written in awhile...
After I last wrote, we were getting ready to go see my mom in Jacksonville,NC where she is in a nursing home...That morning we got up to a flooded basement...so, we had to stay,, called insurance, and plumber...Both came out that day and next day...with the insurance check we got we made an extra house payment..God works in mysterious ways! now we are only one month behind...but they continue to not want to help us..just this week we were again denied for the loan mod...they told us as long as we were behind and in the hole each month we would never qualify!! What??makes no sense...we were told that was why people like us could qualify for it..job loss, behind on payments,etc...That's what Obama said!! its so frustrating!! Our second mortgage co. gave us a loan mod in 2 days!!! and we were behind with them too!! what's up with that?? who do you contact to find out if your mortgage co is jerking you around??/ they have to report to someone do they not?? sigh----
Good news is I got a job yesterday...Its part time like I wanted, no nights and no weekends..and only about 3-4 hrs a day, but every bit helps..I'm on Emergency unemployment now and my understanding is that that runs out in Oct... so we are still fighting to save our house as it stands now... oh and our first mortgage told us we needed to pare our bills down since we are in the hole every month..ok, well, we went to a credit manager and He told us there was no where to cut back!! we are paying only what we have to right now-utilities,insurance,gas,food,stuff like that that you cant pare back.. other good news, my husband and my daughter got some help to be able to go to Doctor and get meds now...Ours is no cost to go to Doctor and daughter has to pay $5 each visit.Husband is diabetic, so he got his meds for free and my daughter is on a couple of meds that are free now too..that is a big help there..and our past doctor bills were covered and paid also which was almost at $1000.00.....now just owe the dentist $500.00...dont know when that will get paid...as no extra money at all. And here in NC taxes went up!! are they trying to kill us??? Our property taxes we owe this year are almost $2000.00!!!!! and sales taxes went up too... and now Duke Energy is wanting to raise its cost??? great...people are struggling..what do they want?our blood??? Christmas this year will be bleak..I just basically want my family together.. still trying to figure that out..with property taxes due right in Jan. that kills us..Christmas isnt about getting anyway..its about Christ and his birth.. we love each other and have fun as a family..that's what matters..The Black Friday list has already come out...those that have $ to spend-have at it...we don't.... yesterday in the mail we get 3 different letters from the county ..we owe $5 per cat we now have ..taxes on our animals!! I thought we came to America to flee Taxes on everything !! and for Religious freedom!! good grief... tax this, raise this, what next???
have I said enough??? No wonder I was depressed earlier this week...
I was going to leave for the beach today with 3 good friends. they were going to take care of me so I could go.yesterday evening we get a call from one of them, my really good friend(I call her my Sis!) and her Dad was in ICU.. She had to call 911 earlier as he fell twice...so weak.... he had been sick all week but thought he was getting better... he was so dehydrated that they had to use a force bag to get the fluids in him. he took 4 bags I think..anyway, the rest of us told her we were not leaving her behind to go on to the beach..She wanted us to go on..can you believe that??She is so unselfish..I told her to shut up!! we were staying to be with her and the beach would still be there whenever...She couldn't help it that her dad got so ill...they weren't even sure he'd pull through last night! and she wanted us to go on.. No way!!my husband and I went over to hospital after she called and stayed. we took her to get something to eat. she went to be with her mom last night. her mom is diabetic and confined to the house..She has to be carried several times a week to receive dialysis. And she needs constant care..my friend is an only child so everything falls on her. She is a wife, and mother to two teens herself and works.. talk about having a full plate.. she does..
anyway I talked to her about 9 this morning and her dad stablizied during the night. they want to move him into a room out of ICU and regulate his meds. he lost so much weight...Will find out more later this afternoon..
my daughter started College in late August and she has adjusted well. Its our local community college, but she is doing great!! She has already aced a couple of tests! next fall she will transfer to UNCC. She has a new "Boy friend" lol says she doesn't want to be involved with anyone right now and they are just friends. I like him he is very nice.
Son has new girlfriend this year at Appalachian. he loves his apartment and having his own room!
I'm glad they are both settling in well.
well gotta run for now..maybe I will post again before another month rolls by! or two!

Ho Hum
Emotional exhaustion, thy name is Emily.
Between the D drama, a field trip today, almost realizing I have 3 half days left as a teacher, not having a job next year yet, the impending visit of an unwanted 'friend' (overshare? oh well), the missing of wanted friends, and the incredibly cute slideshow at the graduation tonight ... I'm DEAD. There is not a single tear left inside this teacher's body. Not possible for my eyes to be any heavier.
It was less the slideshow and the fact that my beloved 6th graders are leaving (and believe me, that's hard. I have come to LOVE that class, and they love me, too. It was the songs they picked for it int he background. Vitamin C's graduation song OBVIOUSLY everyone graduates to, and I DID have a camp connection to it, but that was okay. It was when "Lean on Me" came on that I lost it; that song to me IS Rolling River. And I miss camp so fucking much right now. And then some song about 'do I make you proud?', and then OF COURSE, they ended with Good Riddance ... the version where he says 'fuck' after messing up 2x. Oops; they didn't realize he said fuck? I JUST SAID FUCK. FUCK. (so tired!)
Thank G-d for Shelley, though. We went out to dinner after I was a sobbing mess at graduation. She is a really good friend. I called Nicole while I was waiting for her, and that always makes me feel better, but talking to Shel in my driveway ... she's so great. She told me that the way I talk about my kids/job reminds her of working with Karen, the Pre-K teacher. What an amazing compliment. She thinks it's unfair that someone like me got cut when someone like Nancy or Cynthia are tenured, but don't really care about teaching. They're tired and maybe burnt out, but they're still here, and I've got so much to give, and I'm up the creek.
The trip today was good, despite it not being the original plan. Only E showed up, so we COULD have gone swimming. Nichole called but it took a turn for the worse; I'm afraid D is back in the hospital because she was on the phone with me 2x this morning and she was in a really bad, stressed-out place. I need to do something for her; like call one of the restaurants and get a meal for 5-6 ppl sent to her house so it will be one meal accounted for that she doesn't have to pay for because she doesn't get paid enough. And I wish I knew how to do more for her.
"So, you're crying because the light from the projector got in your eye?"
"Not even going to pretend that's true".
(Later)
"You pulled it together"
"WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT! (tears up)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why I work with young kids and love every single minute of it:
(talking to Blaze, one of the twins who showed up wearing identical dresses in dif colors)
Me: I don't wanna spoil your evening, but there's someone else here wearing your dress!
Roxy (her twin): Really?!?!
As I was leaving, I got giant hugs from Levin and Andrew (of all people!), with Lev even throwing in an, "I'll miss you".
And as I was leaving, I got screamed at from the playground by a group of 6-8 kids. Who then RAN across the field to come give me 'one more hug', and then AGAIN as I left, they were screaming goodbye to me. Emma, Laura, Sam...and Bennett. Why Ben was there I don't know, but it's nice to know I am back in his good graces again :).

The End?
Today was the last day of High School. Ever. Quite bittersweet as everyone expects. I just looked at people I see every day walking to their classes and we've never spoken and thought, "Wow. I will never, ever see you again." It's so weird to think that there have been so many moments like that and we rarely even realize it. I was kind of in a daze all day. Going from one day to the next, realizing that I was ending my routine that has lasted for so long. Exact same route to each class, wave to the same people every day, kiss the boy between these certain hours, trip over that one spot, get yelled at by that one security guard. I was pretty okay for most of the day. Jeni wasn't really speaking to me. That didn't really help at all. My best friend decided not to acknowledge my existence on our last day of school together ever. Great, right? *sigh* My boyfriend was sad because he's a Junior and this is something he's really struggling with. My junior and sophomore friends were on the verge of tears every time i looked at them so I tried my hardest to talk and laugh loud and often. It worked. Until the last hour of the day. Theater. Thats when it started to sink in. It was over. No more of these wonderful memories or people. Ever again. Nothing will ever be the same again. Ever. Nothing to fall back on. Nothing to hold on to. Nothing. I was still okay during class, asking those last few people to sign my year book in the tiny spaces that are left, telling people who were tearing up to stop that(in a joking way, of course), trying not to pay attention to Mrs. Bemis tearing up, running around and trying not to let Jeni's silence bother me. Then we sat in a circle and talked. For the last time. I said goodbye to the stage. For the last time. The stage that I have performed on and made advancements in my life on so many times. So much of my life has been lived in that theater. It was almost eerie. I was sitting next to one of the Juniors of the class as she started to bawl when she handed me her yearbook. That was the start of my tears. I have never cried in public before. I've never let myself. And just like all the times before I tried so hard to reign in the tears. Then one of my senior friends began to bawl. That brought more tears. But when it really started is when I stood up to take my yearbook to one of my guy friends who has been my friend since freshman year. I stood up and saw all of these faces of the people that I have come to love so dearly, I saw the stage which is splattered with paint(we don't have a set room), I saw the house and all the empty chairs. I asked Vance to sign my yearbook and then I saw sherry's face. Sherry is a junior that i've become best friends with. She is one of the absolute sweetest people i have ever met and her eyes were puffy and red. I lost it. I turned away from the circle as Jeni began to cry as she talked about The Great Four. Then Sherry stood up and hugged me and I was gone. Sam, a guy who I've come to absolutely adore and who is huuuge and is just one big teddy bear with a blonde, curly beard....stood up and grabbed me and told me he is going to miss me and he wishes that this wasn't goodbye. I sobbed into his chest and what really got me was he kissed me on the cheek. Then another guy friend who has been my friend since i first moved here in 6th grade came up to me. We haven't had the best relationship the past year because he had turned into quite a prick but in the last couple months he has redeemed himself. He opened his arms and said "I know i'm not the huggy type but...give me a hug. It's been great, bud." That killed me too. Then one of the other guys in theater(who's ears i pierced a few days ago) came up and was crying telling me he's going to text me every day. Then of course all the girls were bawling and they came up and grabbed me. Some more so a "it's been nice knowing you" kind of thing. Sara, the junior i was sitting next to, came up with the most horrible look on her face and gave me a hug and said, "I'll never forget you." Gosh it feels like i'm on death row or something. Everyone always says this isn't goodbye but it is. Everyone should know deep down that though you say you'll write and visit and bla bla bla...that eventually you will grow apart and the person that you had grown so close to will take a piece of you with them. It's almost not worth it. Almost. Graduation is friday. But i don't think it will be as emotional as telling my theater troupe goodbye. I hate change. I wish I could be 17 forever. Ugh.
2012
Have you ever heard that the world is supposed to end on December 31, 2012. The Mayan calendar ends on this date. Do you think this is true? If you do how do you think the world will end? (ex. super volcano erupts; giant meteor; UFO; flood from global warming) Leave your answer in the comments and I will hold the votes to see what would happen the most according to the comments. This is the scariest debate in the world. But look on the bright side, people said the world would end on December 31, 1999, and look it didn't happen. Unless the government is hiding the answer from us. We will see what happens.
