Adventures of Subbing

     Now I have my own class, so I am actually busy trying to plan lessons for these kids, as they have been in school three weeks without a teacher!  It was pretty interesting just being thrown in with nothing, but we are making it work.  Do you have a book?  No.  What!?!?  Ok, what have you been doing the past three weeks?  Nothing.  Awesome!  So, where do I begin?  I finally find books for these classes, so I can try to teach these kids something!  I'm in a special education class, so they are a little behind but entertaining.  I tried on Monday to find a teacher to help me in each subject, but during my off times they stuck me in other classes.  So, on Tuesday, I just told the lady in the office I was in search of guidance so please don't put me anywhere!!
     So, I'm not just teaching one subject, which has made it hard to find people to help me.  I found one lady, and she agreed to meet with me.  She helped me in multiple areas, which was nice.  I'm on the right track and getting this done!  The principal told me we need grades for these kids!!  I'm like ok give me a book!!  This is a lot more work than I was bargaining for when I was wanted a stress free job!!  It's like full time teacher on a third of the salary!!  But it is nice, keeps me busy, keeps me teaching, and I get to walk to work!!!  I was expecting to go sub and hand out a worksheet or watch a movie, not plan and actually grade papers!!!

 Subbing Fun

     I did get cussed out by a kid.  Always fun being called a f-ing b!!  Not that it hasn't happened before!!  Cool thing was a girl stood up and told him off for me!! 

     I was getting water at the water fountain and kept missing my bottle, but didn't notice it was going over the edge onto my pants and shoes!! Awesome!!

     Apparently I say y'all a lot and the kids think it's hilarious!  We actually have a game going in one class to count how many times I actually say it!  I caught one kid saying it; think I'm going to bring y'all to California!!

     I give these kids the answers to the work we are doing and they still get them wrong!!  I'm like just copy it off the board!!!

Smitrina and the Lucky Hair Tie

     After I finally found my hair tie last week, she will not leave it alone.  Friday when I got home from work, my socks were out and my watch was out of my shoe, which I had attached the rubber band to.  She can't get it off now!!  I actually thought Geoff was playing a joke on me, because how could a cat really get my socks out of my shoe and fish my watch out of the very top of my shoe.  This keeps happening each day; I guess I'll learn and put it somewhere else!

                                            Friday after work!

                                          This is how I leave them!

  S'mores Addiction

     After trying many different s'mores recipes, I think I have found my favorite and the one that is closest to Pioneer Days!  This one has Rice Krispies in it and Golden Grahams!!  I accidently messed up the first time and thought I bought vanilla, but it was almond extract!!  They weren't as good, but I tried it again, and they were a winner!!  :)  I am making two more different recipes this weekend or next week, whenever I have time hopefully they are just as tasty!

                                                 MMMMMMM!!!!!!

Half Marathon

     I was in the best shape of my life before this little hamstring problem, but I'm still going to head out this Sunday and try my best.  I want to do good since this could be my one and only one of these, but at the same time I scared to extend my leg.  I did get to run today, and no pain.  Just wanted to see if I could run.  It was nice and easy just to get something done, since it has been two weeks of no running!! 

Geoff Come Home

     Haven't talked to him much since he's been in the desert, but he thinks tomorrow night he will get to come home!!  So excited to have him back!  He may not be too excited, since I tend to grade papers and plan when i come home and then wake up at 4am.  But can't wait to see him!! :)  I bet he's excited about running this half, since he's been in the desert and I'm sure hasn't ran any!! 

                                       This tends to be my life!
