Wow tonight is the first time I have made myself dinner in a few weeks…or has it been a few months…hmmmm Then I ate…and ate…now my tummy is full..yum yum chicken fried rice.
Cooking for myself is putting something in the microwave for a few minutes and then eating just that. I love to cook don’t get me wrong. I hate the time it takes and the fact that there is only one person eating it after all the work and cleaning it up is a whole other issue, cause Lord knows I hate to do my dishes.
What kinds of things do you avoid?
I avoid dishes, cleaning my house....checking papers......

Bad Call
I have no idea how I could get up at 5 and run on a Monday morning and then run that evening...and not get up this morning to run....I tried...but man is it hard to get motivated when it is raining.
MAP is coming up quickly...I'm nervous and I'm not taking the test...grrr how are my students feeling...I hope no pressure.
QUESTION
do you think it is fair for referees at games to be high schoolers that play for a school team?
I'm normally all for school spirit, sportsmanship and holding my tongue for a lot of bad calls....the other night the games were good, kids did well...played hard....calls sucked...you could tell that the people were getting pissed off in the crowd....and the high school boys refereeing were calling it so that their elementary teams would win.....I couldn't help myself....but to get upset and yell...things like travel....or what...really loud....oops Mr. H. the girls coach went over and told them that he wasn't going to be responsible for the crowd if they didn't get this game under control and call a fair game....it was funny. They were making really bad obvious calls...what was I to do....it was getting to my students.... :-(
Well off to bed...tomorrow is Wednesday!

Top Secret
Well life goes on day by day. MAP tests are just around the corner and I'm nervous that my students may not perform to their abilities.
SECRET:
I may have lots of them, but the secret I'm keeping from my students is that I will not be returning the next year. Instead I'm headed back to my home school to teach kindergarten. It was a tough decision, but I miss being around my family. While living in the same town I grew up in may not be ideal for me....I know that I want to see my friends more and I want to watch my nephew grow up not visit him every 3 months. Don't tell my students (not that any of you know them) I was asked the other day "do you still give it your all or because you have a job lined up you don't care what happens at school?" I replied, " I give it my all, this is my career it doesn't matter where I'm teaching....I'll always give it my all."
I'm moving in July and will be free to run around and visit with people before getting busy in August with school.
The beautiful weather has me out running/jogging again, but I still find myself in the cemetery because people stop to stare, just stop their cars, or the new one is drive and wave continually. My goal is to get up early in the morning and run before school...with the darkness I hope it doesn't discourage me. I would really like to get into shape...or be healthy I should say. I'm not looking at loosing wait, because I'm already sitting ok on a scale, I'm going for muscles and being tone...eating would do me some good. I have been trying to eat healthy food...when I eat.
Well I'm off to bed....I have another 3 nights of basketball this week and a whole tournament on Saturday!!

Take a HINT
Well, the week is over. Grades are done…after spending an entire Saturday at the school. They didn’t even have the system open to import our grades…grrrr.
I went to my students’ game on Friday night, the referee. I want him to leave me alone…he couldn’t take any hint and he kept getting my students involved…I tried to ignore the situation, but nope it wasn’t going away. My body language screamed...I'm not interested. I will admit to being a bitch, but the situation wouldn’t go away. He had the job to do, waving at me in the middle of the game…when I had never even talked to him…wrong. PS he looked older sitting next to me than he did on the court. I called him after blowing him off on Friday night…to apologized for being a bitch…and went on to say how inappropriate it was. I hope that was the end to this whole ordeal, and I dream that it won’t be brought up in class on Monday, Dream was the key word.
Parent Teacher Conferences are in 4 days!

Zebra
As you know, I don't really do the dating thing down in Missouri. However I managed to give out my number the other day just to get a guy kind of off my back.
There was a basketball game, the first one of the season for the 4th-6th grade. I went because they are my students. I was sitting in the front row...cheering them all on game after game. There are 2 referees and they should be watching the game. I don't know how the bald guy found out my name, he has seen me at high school games, but still. any who....
He came over and sat by me during a timeout and asked if I was single...I"m not up to lying about things..I told him yes, but I was a first year teacher....lol He then said that the other ref. thought that I was attractive and he would probably come and sit by me later....I moved up after the 6th grade girls got done to sit by Mr. J's wife. Trying to avoid the situation...and to make a guessing game of the ref's age. We were guessing upper 30's???? Well I thought that moving would do the trick, they couldn't stop mid game to talk to me....man was I wrong. The ref (with hair) sat by the 6th grade girls on the bench...(they were cheering on their classmates) then the bald ref. came over....next thing I know the 4 girls are running up the bleachers to tell me that the "spiky haired ref. thinks your beautiful" Wow was my face red...not at the comment, but the fact that they said it incredibly loud with a gym full of people.
That was all over, I thought I could leave when the game was done with no problem....well I walked out as soon as it was done...walked quickly ;-) and almost made it when the bald ref. came running out of the gym.....yelling my name. I stopped (I don't know why) he kept asking for my number...to give to Dave the shy one....I finally gave in.
Dave ended up calling me 4 times that night...I didn't answer and they didn't leave a message. The next day he called me over lunch...and left a message....
What should I do? I know that he is too old for me and I have no interest, but I don't want to be a bitch...mean you know.
Nothing like a man in uniform...lol...do zebra stripes count as a uniform.

Trout DAY???
Well no interview for me tomorrow...I hear the roads are closed to get into Iowa. My friends and family aren't enjoying the little ice they have, the bunch of snow, or the blustery wind.
Today is Trout Day. I'm sure that with the storm that his us last night and early this morning there weren't a lot of people camping out a waiting the release of the trout. Today the winds are strong....I can't even imagine what fishing is like in wind this strong.
I have been home all day, sleeping (cause I didn't do much of that last night....I don't like tornados) I didn't even go to the school today. I have my lesson plans done for a sub for Friday and Monday just incase....and now I don't even need them. What a waste of 3 hours. I hope that I can still go up and interview, but I guess my childlike voice on the phone will have to do.
I hope all of my friends enjoyed a day off of school today and didn't spend the whole day scooping out their cars in Iowa......
