Kill me now!!!


I subbed half a day in a class I said I would never sub in again and I am not happy about it. Jane told me 1st grade, but when I got there they switched me. The other sub didn't want the class either and got there seconds before me. Never again or I will use this axe on myself.
Subbing will be ending in the next few days, at least by the 27th I'm pretty sure. Yeah!!!!!! This time of year makes me very grateful for summer time. We leave for Iceland on the 6th of June another yeah!!!! I need to get away.
Happy Summer is almost here for three months. I will be sick of it and ready to sub again in September.

Busy week!!

My second full week of subbing was tough, but ended on a high note. The basement of the high school was were I was yesterday with special ed. and super seniors(over 18, 5th or 6th year in high school). I was warned several times that the group was a challenge, but I found it to be a very relaxing day compared to the other classes I had this week. Of course I worked with delinquent youth for a few years a while back and then years with developmentally delayed so this was actually quite fun. I learned how to play a new card game during the last hour when everyone had some free time.
I'm exhausted so I got up and 7am today and then back down for a nap at 10am until my sister, Kristi, came over. They are visiting this week because they are moving this summer so we won't see them like usual.
We also attended three concerts at school this week. Monday-Band at the high school. Tuesday-Band at Ellis. Wednesday- Scout committee meeting. Thursday-Ellis Choir. But Friday David and I went to see Star Trek, loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Mantra


I'm going to jump out of an airplane, I'm going to Iceland, I'm going to buy a new outfit.
I repeat this all day as I sub in the 3rd grade class at Sumner for four days straight this week. It gets me through as nothing else but alcohol and really good drugs could. Several teachers have called me, "Poor thing." Ok that is scary. But, one more day is all I have and I was tough today, three were sent to detention after school.
This photo is true, I've had several things wing by my head this week and then the student is off to the office. Too bad many teachers and the principal has the flu right now. One more day will be my Mantra tomorrow and then YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! when I get home. Qatar has a concert tomorrow night and that will be our 4th this month, third this week and one more to go. Another YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Skydive, Iceland, New clothes. Repeat

JT and a big mile stone


JT has been waiting to loose his first tooth for what he describes as forever(his whole life as he knows it). He turned 7 last month and his first tooth has been lose for about three weeks. After biting into an apple yesterday a friend reached in his mouth and plucked it out. JT was very excited and scared from the blood all at the same time. I need to find the camera to get a picture of the big space he has now. Yeah JT!!!

Five days in a row and a cold

Those Woodson critters got me last week and this week I have one of their colds. This week I taught music, special ed pre-school, language arts, creative writing, freshman English, 3rd grade, and lots of other interesting items. I'm exhausted. Subbing is like Russian Roulette, you never never know what the day holds.
We also planted flowers for our Moms in third grade. What a mess!!

Kids friends parents.

Its amazing how many of my kids are friends with kids of people I went to High School with. Every time I work I meet someone else. I had no idea I went to school with one of Cenny's good friends until today. Its a small world and even smaller in Austin. Maybe I just didn't pay much attention before. Who knows? (My year book is becoming a great reference)
