High school bad… Husband good…

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

Well I have subbed three times now… once in a first/second grade room, once in a Kindergarten room and once in high school. I don’t like high school…. I’m just not cut out for it… It is actually easier… there is less work at the high school level… But I just can’t handle the disipline (sp?), the lack of care that they have… the PDA’s in the hallway… the baggy pants…. all of it… I didn’t like high school kids that much when I was one and I don’t now… But let me at those kindergarteners again!!! So that is high school bad…

Husband good… Before I started subbing I had been doing a lot of the work around here…. as far as laundry and dishes goes… but now that I have been a little busier J has been doing what he can when he can to help out… it is great coming home and seeing the pile of dishes gone and a load of laundry in the dryer… He also made shortbread cookies last night… I think they were really good but he didn’t like them as much as he likes the ones that he buys for snacks….

Potty Mouth…

Thursday, September 23rd, 2004

So… every Tuesday and Thursday there is poker at a bar here in town… Jason and I go quite a bit… sometimes him more than me… but anyway.. Almost every time we have gone I get a potty mouth… Considering I don’t swear… AT ALL usually… and I’m not kidding… it is very noticable when I swear, even if it is in a way that most people would brush right off… I don’t know where this comes from… the people at the bar don’t swear… I think I will just blame it on the smoke clouding my brain…

Crazy Cat Lovers….

Thursday, September 23rd, 2004

Jason and I always mention how other people’s cats just seem like cats… but our cats seem different, more human. I think that this post at Lawrence’s helps explain that a little bit. Each cat has so many unique things they do that you can only see if you spend 24hours a day with them… the way they sleep when they are really tired… as opposed to how they sleep when they nap…. the reactions of their tail when they see a bird… or in Tigger’s case, when he gets an idea. When I say that Feeny talks to walls it doesn’t mean the same thing to someone who hasn’t seen or heard it… and when we tell someone about how Tigger is an alarm clock in the morning…

Its hard to explain but I think in the end it is the justification us animal lovers have for spending way too much time and money on our pets… they aren’t pets to us… they are more… :)

I can almost think clearly now…

Well I think I am on the upswing of my cold… I have been taking Zicam which is supposed to shorten the length of the cold and lessen the severity… based on the severity of yesterday I’m not so sure it works that well… and if it does I don’t think I could have survived yesterday without it… Based on the development of a 12 year old boys voice I think the cold is starting to break up… I am still incredibly stuffy and my ears keep hurting at various times… but I’m not nearly as uncomfortable as I was yesterday… Although I must be quite a sight walking around with a box of kleenex in one hand and a garbage bag full of used kleenex in the other hand…

Quick update…

I subbed for the first time today… it was fun… it was for a first/second grade room… on the down side I am horribly sick and I just want to curl up in a ball and cry….

Puppy Power…

A puppy shot his “owner” because the owner was trying to kill him… Go puppy!!! The sad part of the story is that the man did shoot some of the puppies littermates before the puppy got him…
