    life as I know it...
    Kyle and I are doing very well.  Long distance stinks, but we have found ways to make it work.  9 months and counting!

    I am still on the job hunt.  I was just in Indy passing out my resumes to the surrounding suburbs, hoping that it would catch someone's eye more than just an email.  who knows if it did any good but at least I felt like I was doing something. 

    I need a place to live as of the 31st b/c that's when my lease is up.  i will have to get my stuff out whether I have an apartment or not...so I'm thinking maybe a POD is the way to go.  I don't know yet though. 

    Kyle is coming this weekend and we are going to a wedding together Saturday.  Sunday, my 7 week old nephew will be baptized at church, and we are having a large family gathering afterwards to celebrate. wahoo!  so Kyle gets to meet a lot of relatives...lucky him! 

    I need to go pack some more...so have a good one!

  • what a day.   I woke up this morning, turned my head and heard/felt something crack.  I had lots of pain the rest of the day in my back and neck...and therefore was irritable most of the day.
    then my kids would not stop TALKING...so that didn't help.

    Then I had a meeting after school with my sort-of-boss...she's the head of Human Resources and Associate Superintendent...
    the meeting actually went ok...I didn't cry, so that was a plus.  I also learned that I will have insurance until the end of August...woohoo! 

    I don't know, I was just really sensitive to stuff today.  I tried to hold back the feelings all day and then one comment from Kyle and boom, I'm off crying.  It wasn't his fault, it was just me letting it all out at that moment.  I just felt like all these things that I did were wrong, or were disappointing people, and I don't like to do that. 
    I want my back to stop hurting and all that pent-up anxiety to go away.  That means I have to go do devotions and go to bed....so good night all!  I hope tomorrow is better.

  • how about a sick day?  OK!  I'm so <cough sneeze achoo> sick...I'm taking Monday off.  I guess I'll just have to rest up and see if I feel better by Tuesday...

    After being let go from my job, I feel like I can take a day off here and there since there's really nothing else that can be done to me.  I'm going to do what I need to do for the kids, and then adios!  I'll be the professional that I am, but I'm not going the extra mile when I'm not going to be here next year.  

    I'm definitely going to miss my kids and my coworkers a TON...
    I really hope I find something soon.  I don't really want to be job-searching all summer, but if that's what I've got to do, then that's what I'll do. 

    So tomorrow will be a day to "recuperate" and rewrite my resume.  wahoo.

  • hey everyone...
    so, I got observed by my principal today (my last formal observation of the year...woohoo!) and I think it went ok.  I know there are some classroom management things that she is going to bring up, but I think that I recognize most of them and will try to address them before she does.  Also, I think I have definitely improved from the fall when she first observed me, at least I hope so and I hope she thinks so too. 
    I know that my objectives were met in the lesson and I know that they learned what they were supposed to learn, so at least I'm happy about that.  They were extremely squirrelly today though...I think it was all the snow outside.  
    I was pretty ADD today too...I kept randomly switching topics...like at one point, we were going over a reading test they had taken, and there was something about a bird, and I started talking about seeing a bird in the grocery store and in Target.  It was all very 3rd-grader-like.  you know, they say you become what you teach...scary.

    Anywho, the day was ok all in all.  Tomorrow we have an assembly, which will take up my reading time (grr) but hey, oh well.  whatever! 
    I'm just hoping the other 3rd grade teacher comes back...she's been out for 2 days now with some sort of respiratory issue...I hope she's ok! 
    until next time...bubye!
