Trainings, Stress, and Thankfulness (Day 16)

Thursday, I spent the entire day in training. Because of the class that I teach, there are special trainings I have to attend for strategies to teach the students. I could probably do it without the trainings, but for the school district to “allow” me to do it, I have to be trained.  (But…they pay for the training, materials, and my time!)

 

Obviously, I had a sub on Thursday. I got to my room yesterday only to realize that all my desks had been moved. They were no longer in the cool zig zag pattern my overly excited brain had designed.  No! They were in boring rows. ARGH!!!

 

I asked all three of my classes if they had moved them. When I got to 4th period (my 3rd class), I was informed by several students that the substitute said that my desk design was “bothering” her and she didn’t want it to “bug” her any more. So…. she rearranged my room! She also didn’t give the students all the assignments because she “talked to them”. (She left a note to that effect.) She also went through my desk to find pens, pencils, and Post-It notes. I left all that out on the desk for her. (She obviously didn’t like the colors.  She took out all the pink stuff to actually use!)

 

I reported it and hopefully, I won’t have her again!

 

 

Day 16: I am thankful for my family. As a whole, we are loving, supportive, and awesome. Today, we are getting together to celebrate mom’s bday. It’s tomorrow, but we are getting together today. It’s pretty cool. Dad, Mom, Donnie, Lisa, and I all live within miles of each other and where our family started. The only thing is we need to work on getting our other “brother” (Cody) back home too.

 

And Stress:

Let’s see….why do I have stress?

Today—Mom’s Bday dinner

Next Sat—Christmas parade #1

30th—Huge Anniversary Party

Dec 7th—Christmas Festival with Girl Scouts.

Dec. 14th—Christmas parade #2 (this time with Girl Scouts)

Dec. 21—Might get some Cmas shopping completed

Dec. 28th—hope to be hanging with the family in Gatlinburg, TN

Jan 2—Cmas break is over…time to go back to work.

 

I have so much stuff to do. No time to do it. Then…. I found out yesterday that the Princess is supposed to be in the MIDDLE of her Science Project. We haven’t even started. 

 

Oh yeah….one other thing. Yesterday was her teacher’s last day at work. She left. Sad smile So, the Princess is very upset. AND…..they are getting a sub until they can find a replacement teacher. Sad smile Then they are HOPING that the new teacher will start in Jan. Smile 

 

Today is filled with Thankfulness and Stress.  I need a nap!  lol

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
