Freaky Friday

Ever once in awhile in my life I seem to have day where things are freaky or I am just really jumpy, either way it makes the day out to be freaky. So this past friday was freaky for me.

It all started late Thursday night, when I was watching television. I really really wanted to see the Grey's Anatomy season premiere. So I changed the station to it in my room and placed the remote back in my grandpa's room. About 15 minutes later, the television channel is changing. I had been talking on the phone and did not hear anything in the house, the dog bark, or the door open. So I started to freak out and wait to see who it could be. I slowly open my bedroom door and watch for the light in my grandpa's room to be on and someone to move in there. Finally I saw him. So I calmed down a bit.

Friday morning I am in my room listening to music and putting test scores in the computer, trying to figure out what I am going to do to help my students, when in walks someone and says hi to me. I jumped so high and was so shocked to see this man in my room.

The last step was once again someone coming in my room as I working really really hard when in came Carolyn. She startled me and made me jump again. I don't know what is up with my nerves.

Frustrating Morning

So how long do you think it should take to make 26 copies? Well I found out this morning it can take almost your whole 45 minutes for math to make the copies. See normally I am well prepared and I was until I realized that I need workmats and did not have enough. So I went to make the copy of the mat. I walked down there to find a message on the copier telling me to add 11x17 paper. I cleared that and started to delete the jobs that were stored. As I started deleting the job, the numbers did not get smaller. So I had deleted 5 jobs, when I ran back to my room to let my aide know what was up. In walks one of the teachers into the work room to say she could not get to work this morning. In a snotty tone, I let her know that you need to read the screen and see what it is asking for. Then you need to clear it or fix the problem and then copy your work. After that I deleted another 8 of her jobs. So I deleted a total of 13 jobs!!! 13 jobs, what made her think that if the first one didn't work that the second would or the third or so on. I was just really frustrated and it made me want to scream. So I am so so so tired of people who can not figure out how to use the machine or at least read the screen. Just had to get it out there.

Top 5 Of My Wonderful Week

Finally, Finally I have had a good week. I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I guess I am finally realizing that there is hope, I am just going to have to look past what they can't do and be happy with what they can do. They are great kids and I love them all.

5. Saying goodbye to a friend:( My friend and co worker Amber moved away this week. She and her husband got a new job in Wyoming and we had to say goodbye to her this week. It was very sad and her little boy is getting so so big. I miss her already and so does everyone at school.

4. Being teased in the lunchroom! Yeah in some weird way my kids found out the teacher I am interested. Maybe it is because I was talking to one of his students about him and she was asking me questions about myself for him. So it is weird because when I see him in the lunchroom I am too chicken to say anything to him, but my kids are totally into picking on me and letting me know he is there. The lunch lady put them all on the wall for it, but she is another story. She wants absolute silence in the lunchroom and it bugs me.

3. Tutoring the 5th graders! Yeah this is my new job besides teaching all day long. I have decided that I want to help the kids out as much as possible. These are an interesting group of children, believe me. The first group I have is really quiet and well behaved. The second group has a mind of its own and just loves to do whatever they want and they don't care what happens to them. But I know they will change and they will learn. In the words of one of the kids," Learning isn't fun and I don't like to do it." That will change.

2. Finally getting to talk to him! Well here is the cutest story ever. My little student Louis decided to go over to Mr. Brewster last night while he was coaching soccer and let him know I was in my room and that I liked him. Mr. Brewster told him to tell me to come outside. So I was telling Mrs. Mills about this and decided to clean my window and hers. That is another problem at our school, but anyways. I went out and was cleaning windows and soon he was saying hi to me and then telling me to come and play soccer. Because it was hot, I told him no and then he was over talking to me. We talked for awhile and then someone got hurt and we ended the conversation. When I left to go home, I purposely walked out my backdoor just so he would see I was leaving. He said bye and all of his kids were like, "OOOOOOOOOOO!!!! MR. BREWSTER!" I loved it so much. I was glad we finally started talking. Now we will see what happens next.

1. Having A Good Talk with my buddy Daniel! He is always there for me. He is a good guy and when the things today were going to crap today, he made it better. I am so glad I met this guy. He is a good friend.

TO GO OR NOT TO GO? HELP

So I have this problem and I need some input. I have a friend getting married on Saturday and I want to be there so badly. Tickets right now are 29.00 for me to leave on Thursday. I want to go, but then my cousin is getting married next weekend and I said I could not go because of money. What do I do? I should go to both or at least the one that will cost less, but the substitute I want is already busy for someone else! I need some help and some input! HELP!!!!

Side note: I think there could be a date this weekend, so maybe I should stay?

My Week- Update

Crazy Week With A Good End!

As much as I suffered earlier this week about wanting my mom and hating my life at the moment it has gotten better. There was a down point on Thursday, but soon got better once I found out that a noisy person was passing things on without all the facts. So my week ended well because I found that someone is interested, he even had someone asking me what I like to do and where I like to eat so he can take me on a date, this is what I am told. I have also been told that he gets really red whenever my name is said or he gets an email from me. So this should be interesting.

Also, I went to see the new movie "The Women". Cindy and I went yesterday and it was a good movie. But don't go if you are looking for hot men. Because there are NO MEN in this movie. NONE AT ALL. Cindy brought that to my attention when we got back to her house. I guess I just never really noticed since I was so into the plot of the movie.

So here is my goals for next week:

Stations will run smoothly.

Individual small group to bring up my low students.

Science will finally start in my room!

After school tutoring will start!

Maybe a date on Friday night?!

I will go home with no headaches and no crying!

Well I hope everyone has a good week.

I WANT MY MOM!!!

Do you ever have one of those days where you wish you could have your mom? Well I am having one of those days. I want her here so badly right now. I guess I am just having one of those days where you really want to talk and there is no one that can listen or really help. I thought if I came home and cooked a good dinner tonight that would help. But it didn't because I didn't cook since my grandpa is not feeling well. He just doesn't look or is acting like grandpa tonight to me.

I love my mom so much and with all the crying I did today, I want her here. I want to be able to see her or something. I miss her so much and we are so connected. I guess she just knows when I need her and is willing to help me out however she can. I just need her and even though I have people that I work with who can help me, I just need her right now.

I just want someone in my life that can help make it all better. I remember being little and having a tummy ache, and who would fix it? My mom she could fix anything that was wrong with me.

I also miss that little one named LeRoy. He is getting so big and with the way my life is who knows when I will get to see him. Sometimes I think it will never happen. We will see.

Hopefully the week gets better soon.

My Life This Week

Drama!!!
I planned on being Drama free this year. That is not going to happen. Why is it that girls and guys can't be friends after breaking up? I want to be friends so bad, but I just don't know if it can work. Well anyways, my week . First the week started normal and then I started leaving school later and later each night and with a bigger headache each night. Finally last night I came home and just decided I don't know if I can do this anymore. I have decided that one day I would love to get married and have kids. Last night I realized I can't even make it home to cook for my grandpa. How can I get married and take care of that? Well I guess marriage is overrated right? Why do we need to get married? Then today, I found out that my ex boyfriend had his appendix burst last night. So I feel horrible and I totally am going to try and go see him this week. So yet the drama will continue!

Good Things!
One of my good friends is going to start his open business. I am so excited for him. Also, I am going to take charge of my life and make it go the way I want to. How am I going to do that? I am going to take the first step and ask someone to go on a date that I am interested in. I am tired of complaining and thinking I am not good enough, so I am going to do it on Monday. Wish me luck.

Sorry for the venting, but I had to let it out. This week has been one to not do over.

Picture Tag

So Carolyn decided to Tag me so everyone could see my house. Well just so you all know, it is my grandparents house. I am living with my grandpa. So here we go.

1 Self Potrait

See what happens when you don't have to work. You look horrible!

2 Kitchen Sink

Everything is in the dishwasher, except the cup I just used.

3 Favorite Room

I don't spend a lot of time in this room. I just know that my grandma loved this room. She has all of our pictures up and I love the way it is set up. People come over and we play pool and they ask me about my family. I guess when I miss my family I take a walk in there and I feel like I am with them all. I want a room like this in my house.

4 Laundry Room

I hate laundry but I love the fact that I have space to hang clothes that I can not dry in the drier.

5 Fridge

Can you tell that we just went shopping and the fridge is overfilled? We seem to do this every once in awhile.

6 Master Bath

This is actually my bathroom. Grandpa has the master bathroom. I love the jet powered tub I have. It is great.

7 Closet

It has loads of room and even has some of my grandpa's stuff in it, like his guns. But I love the hamper and the fact that I can hide my shoes on the door. It is great and my grandma did this for me. I need to work on organizing my clothes a bit better.

8 Favorite Shoes

I hate shoes and I can't stand ones I have to tie. So I love these because they were cheap and I can slip them right on and run out the door to school.

9 Favorite Part of My House

My grandma had these really cool light fixtures put in the house. See my grandpa built the house and everything is how my grandma wanted it. She has three of these lights and they look so cool on at night.

10 Dream Vacation

I have already been here to Toledo Spain, but I want to go back. I loved the small town feeling and the people there. This is where I wish I could go someday and possibly live there.
