New Job @ MindSay

Whoa! A Monday! That hasn’t happened in a while! Today was my first day working my new schedule, and was also crazy because Claudia called in sick. Deb Andrews filled in for her. So basically, it was her and Parker on the three. D started out AGAIN with inappropriate talk (“I peed on that tray”), and was off a bit, but started to settle down. A and I were playing Money Bags, and E joined us, and then D came in to play (after he FINALLY brought his lunch tray down to the caf). Then I went to my writing group, but apparently, that’s from 9:30 – 10:00, not 9:00 – 10:00, so yay, I have more time in my room with my boys!

When I went back, reading instruction was NOT happening, but I cracked the whip a bit and got most of us started. I think next time Claudia’s out, I’m going to NOT follow my schedule so I can be there to support the others. Overall, the day was okay; incident when A threw a book at E during silent reading and E hit him (but didn’t REALLY because when E is mad he is a powerhouse and would have left welts, so he just used his hands on him which isn’t better but is), but otherwise, nothing really big was reported to me. A had an issue at lunch, and was mad when I wouldn’t let up/wouldn’t talk to him while he was whining/flailing around, but he slowly realized I meant business and started to talk to me…like an 11 year-old should. I feel like a bitch; I know he’s NOT an 11 year old except for that he’s been alive that long, but at the same time, you’re going to middle school next year, kid. You are going to be in a building of 7th – 12th graders and you need to learn how to act when you’re frustrated or upset.

I felt so bad for Parker today. The sub was really sweet and helpful, but she doesn’t know our room and its crazy preceedings, so today was pretty much JUST Parker. And he mentioned that the difference between when at least one of us is there versus not is tremendous, and “when you guys are here, I feel like I do an…85% good job. When you’re not, I feel like I do an…8”. Aw! He’s so good, but it IS really stressful when you’re used to a team and 2/3 of the team aren’t there. He said he put in for a personal day for tomorrow, which he deserves, I guess, but I’m kind of hoping he doesn’t.

Because I’m not going to be in tomorrow morning. Or, we’re 99% sure I’m not going to be. I mean, not in the building; if I were in the building, I’d be following my schedule. But Pat came in at the end of the day to ask if I’d checked my email, which I hadn’t because the internet was broken all day. Basically, Claire or she or someone told Julia (Z’s mom who has been blowing us off for a long time) that we could hold the meeting AT her house, and she jumped on the idea. She was like ‘well, what’s your schedule tomorrow?’ and I told her I just had to take A to gym from 9 – 10 but C or P could take him or a sub could, so she said that if she could get Jerry/Claire to agree, we’d all go to the house tomorrow. Strange. So I need Claudia to call me so I can let her know tomorrow’s a good day to get to work if she can. And I’m hoping Parker wants to go in, too.

*PS, what a boring entry title!  I need to get creative with these.

I GOT THE JOB AT THE LIBRARY:D:D!!!!

I am so freaking happy! Ive been wanting to quit flyers for an incredibly long time..now in a week and a half, I don't do them anymore:D

Sorry I didn't blog until later on tonight; my family and I went out of town. It wasn't that great of an experience, well, for me, anyway.

Yesterday, or recently, my mom was talking to me about the issue of having to move incase dad can't find a job here in town. Our economy is really bad, too, which doesn't really help matters. She warned me about the possibilty of moving; and I told her that not only would dad have to find a new job, but she would to (she works at my church as the children's pastor; and adores her job completley). And not only that, but my younger brother Jacob and I, would have to "cope" with the transitions and changes of everything - new city, new school, have to make new friends. And I do NOT adapt to change well. My mom told me that if we were to move, it wouldn't be during the school year - but actually during the summer. She also said that the advantage going there for me would be a better quality education...

...My education is fine the way it is. I love my school, and if I have to change it, and even leave my FRIENDS behind - I swear, I'm going to hate everyone for the longest time... I'm not happy. And of course, I bet all you parents out there are going to take my parents' side.

I'm not in a bad mood right now. I'm just neutral. As I was listening to music and looking out the window, I was daydreaming about my life if we ever did/are going to move...

I don't want a new home. My current household, I've been raised in since I was a toddler. I don't want a new school; my school's perfect and fine the way it is. I don't want a new environment. I don't want to go to and be a resident of a new city. And I DO NOT want to leave my friends. I'm not moving; and if we are, then they'll have to drag me. They can take everything away, but I will not move a foot forward. I try to avoid change at all costs; because change and I do not mix.

Now I'm nervous. I swear, this whole moving issue is going to bother the crap out of me until I finally get some news or an update on what's going on.

it's been a few days!
but don't worry, i am still much alive.
I got that job!!! i'm so ecstatic, my first day is Monday!!!!
So i'm planning on spending my weekend partying it up!
Ruby is coming over tonight, it's our 2 year anniversary and I'm going to make her a nice dinner by candlelight
then maybe her favorite movie; Shrek.
Bubbles has been spending the night the past week and...not to be rude or anything but it has been smellin like an old man's ass since the second she stepped in the door.
Someone needs to slide some Bean-o over to that girl...
Well I have to go shopping for the dinner tonight!
