Living Life as Jayden's Mommy….

Ok so it is late and I will make this short and sweet. Today was a rough day for me at work. The summary- you try to be nice to students and parents and allow for extra activities and it is unappreciated… so now what? You stop being nice and just be mean!

Anyways, I talked to my sister and she was sweet. I know she didn’t really care because her situation is completely different but she listened and stood up for me as did all of my friends that I yacked to this afternoon, Mrs. T, my cousin and next door neighbor at work, and my smidgen and even hubby! Nevertheless she is having her own issues with her boss. I guess the boss just doesn’t like her. It is weird I don’t get why everyone loves my little sis but they do. And this lady is out to get her… so… when we talked she told me how excited she was about a new position she is applying for. She said that God has it set up. She wanted to leave her 1st job, got turned down for several positions in that organization and finally moved to this one- she hates it! She is now wanting to move to another one and it turns out her one friend at her current job has moved to this new place and God has set it up so that she is meeting all of these people in power over there. She is applying for a job and the guy that currently has it is from our hometown!!! How strange is that??? It is totally awesome because she has met her new bosses and some of her coworkers and is making sure they get that name/face recognition downpat. I told her that God was awesome.

He has plans for all of us. He planned for her to be in this new place and she wanted to move to her current job so bad that he allowed it… only to let her know that it was not for her. But he had to make her see and understand that it was not about her. Plus he had to let her get mad so she would apply elsewhere. Now he is teaching us both patience and gratefulness…. and appreciation… so… I am now praying for me and my little sister. I have no doubt she will get it though. It all comes to her… it just does!

Ok so that is my thing… God has it under control and in all of the mess there is purpose period.

I have a feeling that my life will be drastically different in a few years (3). I will have a baby, a nice home, may or may not have a job but I am almost positive that money will not be an issue and I will be in my Tahoe leading up to my Escalade (that was for hubby). It will be. Then I will be blogging about the goodness of God some more and thinking back to what had to be gone through to get there… Be encouraged all….

That is all, there isn’t anymore ———— from the Grinch that Stole Christmas

There just is not enough time in the day for me these days! What would I do if I had to work 8-5? Ahhhh! I shudder at the thought. I stayed for a book study today- it was great… we said how the book was wrong and how notetaking was not a strategy worthwhile to teach even according to the book data. Then we talked about the fights at school (2) and the fact it was a full moon.

Well, we are still working on the bargaining stuff. I think we are making progress but the point of the matter is that the state budget is being cut and there is no money for any state agency. Apparently Jeb did us a number and spent all of our money and got us deeper in debt.

I feel funny a lot with this pregnancy thing. Like today, hubby was here and suggested we lay down at 6 p.m.- lol… I went straight to sleep and woke up at 11 to eat as he suggested for the umpteenth time. I am so tired sometimes. I hurt when I am hungry, and I hurt when I overeat. It is difficult to maintain the balance. Especially because when I do get hungry I tend to shovel the food in… lol.. I have had to tell myself to slow down.

I showed a Beautiful Mind to my Psychology class. Although I should have waited until we covered the section on Schizophrenia I went ahead and showed it after we discussed the brain. The movie is slow. Today we watched the part where they realized what characters were real and which were not. They really enjoyed it. I have already planned to watch The Miracle Worker, The Pursuit of Happiness, and Remember the Titans. I am thinking sensation and motivation chapters.

Well this weekend will be me sleeping again. I am excited. I like doing nothing. lol. Classes are going smoothly to my surprise. We are moving right along and the kids are buckling down more as they see time marching on. It is difficult to help them when they give you nothing to work with but some are really coming full circle and I am glad. I am still looking at home plans. I want to build but now it is all about property and getting land cleared- yuck!

So I leave you to ponder this home plan now…

Ok it is actually a revised version because it is a 4/3 with jack and jill baths between bedroom 2 and 3. There is also a bathroom attached to bedroom 4. The whole plan is about 2319 square feet. It is not available online but a very nice plan. So here is the plan with the above revisions to be kept in mind. Feel free to look at the nice plans at Heritage Homes.

OK that is all there is, there isn’t anymore. I am enjoying sleeping and eating. I will try to be more studious at blogging for smidgen’s sake. I also plan to get back on the wii fit and get into a routine to exercise as I am gaining more weight- yes! At the dr. last week- I was 107.8- needless to say I almost past out and the girl was like is that abnormal. Mom and I laughed as I said that is the MOST I have ever weighed!

Some days I think what in the world made anyone want to teach high schoolers? So many of them act like nothing you say is important or will assist them in the long run. Teachers work soooo hard to get lessons, and information together for students for no appreciation. I have had it with unappreciative students. I am at the point where if they want to fail themselves then they can. I am not worried or concerned anymore. If they get it great if not then they need to speak up and we can go back over it. I am just praying to God that something gives and I can give another position a shot. I just do not see what could be so horribly wrong with sitting at a desk and answering phones and doing paperwork. To be locked in a room with my stack of papers- I am telling you- I would love to have the opportunity to be bored or just do something different where I don’t really have to deal with children. Maybe I could work with adults who are mature and can do their job and respect the fact that I need to do mine. Keep it all business- what a concept. It is nothing personal but can we just keep it real and get the job done by putting the crap down. Most of my Seniors are focused but some of them are truly a waste of good air. Ugh… in the meantime I am still in God’s waiting room- praying for my exit slip sooner than later. I guess I CAN stay until Christmas but I do not want to and as soon as I get something else I am not even giving 2 weeks I am just going to be out of there! I can taste it!!!!!
