Grrrrrr
I am SO annoyed right now. Don't want to get into it, but it deals with someone yelling at me about money when they're going out and spending money themselves. ANNOYED! That's all I gots to say about that.

Whiney Wednesday (plus 1)
1. It's 1,005 degrees in my classroom. It's December. It's 28 degrees outside. I have three windows wide open, and a fan running in my class room. What's wrong with that picture?
2. I can't complain about the heat being on in my classroom, because if they turn it OFF, then it would be 28 degrees in my classroom. There's no happy medium.
3. My head hurts. Feels like someone has taken my brain, and played a round of handball with it, then gently placed it back inside my skull.
4. I have to pee like a race horse, but I can't leave do so for another hour. I foresee a bladder bag in my eminent future.
5. My house is filfthy. It's void of all cleanliness. Kinda like my body's void of all motivation to clean it.
6. I haven't started Christmas shopping yet. My poor children are going to have socks, underwear, and stale chocolates under the tree on Christmas morning if I don't get my ass in gear.
There, I feel better. Kind of.
7. Brownie spilled grape juice on my rug this morning. Did I mention that part of the rug is cream colored? Or, it USED to be? It's grapey colored now.
8. I just noticed, that, although I'm only 33 years old, that my hands look like they're about 67. Very loose and wrinkly. There's no way in hell that I would ever be able to be a hand model.

Imma be
I think I might be getting sick. My head hurts, I'm tired, I just feel all around crappy. Not really in the mood to be teaching anything of the sort today. I think they're lucky I even got my ass out of bed and made it TO work today. I'm here, physically. Mentally, I'm more of a jello-y formed mold of nonsense and uckiness. Kinda like Bob from that alien cartoon movie. Cept, I'm not green. Well, maybe today I am. I AM wearing a green shirt. LOL I'm hoping the rest of the afternoon goes quickly so I can go home and lie down. I just feel like going to sleep. For a long time. Until like, Christmas break. I'm tired, I'm cranky, and I just am not in the mood to deal with people's stupidness today!
So, get this. We have inter office mail here at the district. I had some of Brownie's old clothes that I wanted to send to a friend of mine at a different school. She has a daughter 2 years younger than Brownie, and I thought she could use them. So I put them in a box, labeled it for her, and put it with the rest of the inter office mail. Guess what? The lazy sob's in the "mail department" of our district wouldn't take it! They won't take boxes, apparently. WTF? Why not? It's not like it weighed a whole hell of a lot! It weighed, AT MOST 3lbs! But, nooooooooo....we have to fill out a "pick up" order to get it delivered. So, the secretary did just that. She sent it in, and they STILL didn't come get it. Sonofabitch! So, you know what I did? I stuck it to the stupid mail man! I got inter office mail envelopes from the secretary, and I put one or two pieces of clothing in each one, labeled it for Heather, and put them in the mail bag! So NOW, instead of having to deal with ONE, 3lb box of clothes, he has to deliver 15lbs worth of envelopes! BAAAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA! Take that, you stupid mail man! Maybe next time you won't be as lazy as a sloth and not deliver a tiny, lightweight box! Merry F'in Christmas to you, Mail Man!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
It's December 1! And, it's snowing! It's beautiful outside. It's a fine, misty and fluffy snow that just kind of floats around in circles in the air. And sitting here, looking out my classroom window, I can see for a mile or two. I'm loving seeing the little flakes fly through the trees across the parking lot. It's gorgeous!
I talked with my brother in law the other day. The one stationed in Afganistan. He has a couple of guys in his troop who don't get much mail. He asked if I could figure out a way to have his friends get a couple of pieces of mail. So, myself and another teacher in the building, we're bringing Christmas cards for the students to write little notes of faith and encouragement to them, and we'll send them off this afternoon. I feel bad that these guys don't get much. It's so sad. I know Rick is getting packages out the wazoo from everyone in the family, but then there's these guys over there with him, who are doing the same thing as him, who aren't getting anything from anyone. How horrible is that? Oh well, at least they'll have some Christmas cards to look forward to for the Holidays.
I got the nicest review from my supervisor yesterday at work. She gave me all satisfactories and outstandings. It was delightful to see that. And it actually makes me feel so much better about why I chose the profession I did. For almost 12 years, at my old school....not once did I EVER get acknowledged by my supervisors for all the hard work I put into the students and my job. If anything, especially by one particular person, I was always getting reprimanded for things she thought I was doing wrong. I'm so glad that I'm now in a place that appreciates all that I do for these kids. It makes me feel like I'm making a difference in the kids' lives. Which, I know I did at the other place, but it would have been nice to hear every once in a while, you know? I had the parent tell me all the time, but it would have been nice to have the supervisor I had tell me, "Hey, M....you're doing a great job. You're a real asset to the school." Nope. Oh, well...I'm getting it now and that is all that matters.
Well, I'm going to go, and enjoy watching the snow dance outside my windows. Everyone have a good day. I can not believe, by the way, that I did not put one sarcastic remark into this post.....I think I'm going soft!!!
