Ranting and Raving

I am so sick of people. Actually, not all people but the liars and the pretenders...know what? I dont need or want them in my life anymore. Im talking about the people who will tell you anything to get you to see things their way or to keep you in their life. But you know who I think the worst is...the ones that you think are your friends. So hear me now...I DONT care...go screw yourself and leave me out of it. I have a friend who laments over people who dont hold up their end of the bargain, leaving someone hanging in the wind but then this "friend" does the exact same thing to me. Guess they dont know the golden rule. Im through.

One down

Week one is gone already. This week was just teachers, with lots of meetings and classroom prep time. It is nice to have some paid days to do that. In Indiana we had one paid workday at the beginning of school and one at the end the rest was donated time. Here we still have to donate a lot of time but at least we do get some compensation for it. Thursday we had parent orientation so I got to meet some of the parents and students. It seems like a good group. This year I am starting out with 22 students in my home room and my second reading class has 24 in it, that should keep me busy. My classroom is pretty well ready but I havent made one single plan yet, so guess what Im doing this weekend...lesson plans. First week shouldnt be too bad, I have several back to school activities that I can use. Geez can anyone say ramble? Im definitely just rambling.

My mom called earlier. She wanted to know if I was ok because she hadnt heard from me in "months" My mother was stretching it a bit, it had been a couple of weeks but not months. I told her I had had a rough couple of weeks and felt depressed, I never call home when I feel like that because Id probably end up packing my bags and going home.

Well I had better go try to get some planning done tonight. Ill let you know how the first student week goes.

Here we go

I went to my classroom today, the cleaning crew left it in a mess...it's a clean mess but a mess none the less. I had to move my own file cabinets...very heavy. Now I have about 30 student desks to move into place...that is on the agenda for tomorrow. Hopefully Ill be able to drag my butt out of bed earlier and get r done. Of course it is already 1 am and I am still up...this is not good, I am not sleeping and its starting to wear me down. I dont know...sigh.

I have so much running through my mind right now. Sometimes Im afraid Im having some kind of breakdown. I really need to work on attitude I think. Definitely spending more time in my Bible study because that is where the answers are.

Well there is this week's update. Pray for me if you are praying person.

Under the Weather

My little cold seems to be getting worse. When my niece was here and was sick she wanted to sleep all the time, it seems to be affecting me just the opposite. Last night I went to bed but didn't fall asleep until 5 am. Woke up around 10 and just lounged in bed for awhile. Now here it is 12:30am and Im still up again. This is not a good habit to be getting into with just a week and a half left til school starts. I really need to go to the store tomorrow so Im going to make myself get up and going. Hopefully Ill be able to sleep tonight.

So basically this is short because my life is boring...lol...but sometimes boring is good and right now I'm just going to enjoy being bored.

Update on my neice

My niece is still trying to get over her pneumonia. First they put her on the z-pak and a cough medicine and she broke out in a rash. Took her off both of them and put her on a mega dose of amoxicillin and another strong antibiotic. She does fine on the amoxicillin but the other one makes her sick every time she takes it. She is having a really rough time of it.

What's going on in my life? Not much. Last Wednesday I went out with 4 of my fellow fourth grade teachers. We had a nice time catching up on everything. I am getting excited about the upcoming school year. This year I am team teaching with one of the other teachers and will be teaching Language arts and social studies. She is going to teach math and science. Im so glad. We go back on the 20th and the students come back on the 27th. We have a retirement dinner this Friday for our principal. I am going to miss her, really enjoyed working with her.

I seem to have a bit of a cold, must be the left overs of the girls' being sick when they were here. I guess I should have disinfected the house after they left but didnt really think about it.

Well thats about all that is going on in my exciting life. Hopefully will start being a little more faithful about updates. This is me signing off.
