Way to Long

It has been so long since I have blogged. I wish I could get in the habit to write everything instead of having so much to say over a long period of time in one posting. It looks like I will have to give the abbreviated version.

School is school. The kids are full of drama and I am really trying to just not allow it to effect the class. My first period class I dread due to drama with several students, but I can't help the school drama, but I can give them secure place to be when they are at school.

Stephanie came to visit on Friday. We had a good time. I wish my husband would not have been drinking as much as he did. He let me know that I didn't appreciate him. Whatever, I just know that this happens every year around my birthday. Last year Scott told me he wanted a divorce on my birthday. My birthday is next week and I feel the calm before the storm. I wish he weren't so darn bi polar.

My next issue is Scott's son wants to meet his brother Donovan. I am not happy about this. Donovan has no idea he has another brother or sister. The only family he knows of is Stephanie. She is the only one who would protect him. I am not sure how I feel. I just don't want those evil children near him. I hope God can tell me what to do.

I have been crafting and made the following sign last night. Well going to get off of this and try to post tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great evening.

Tuesday

Donovan and I do not have many more days of just us. I will be returning back to school. I love my job, it is the drama and politics involved with work. I am not sure why people think I really care about my room right now. I am not on contract till August 15, and that is when I will discuss my room. I mean I really do not have much of a say in anything. I do know that if the Admin is not worried about my room, then I am not going to worry about it. I mean if there is anything to worry about Admin will figure it out. I am sure they have some type of backup plan.

I actually worked on my chipboard letters for my room. I love the ABEL ones. They turned out great. I also got the best saying for my class. If I am ABEL to do it, then you are ABEL to do it too. Love it. Now my READING letters I am unsure if I will keep the scrap paper on it. They are skulls that would go with a pirate them. I might end up changing them.

I am so dreading Quantum Learning tomorrow. I just to get home to be with Donovan. We are suppose to go to the beach on Thursday. I can't wait for a fun day with my baby. I wish we could spend a few more days together, but I have to go back to work.

Dreading Monday

This weekend has been great. Thursday I went to Splashtown with Tricia, Scott, Donovan, and Nolan. We had a great time. I am so glad Scott was able to come with us. It was great to ride the waterslide with Donovan.

Friday was an ITZ day with Donovan, Nolan and Tricia. I am not a fan of ITZ. Donovan won enough tickets to get 8 ninjas. He has a great time. I am so glad. I love seeing my little man happy.

Saturday was another great day. Scott, Donovan, and I went to Anna's for housewarming party. Donovan had a great time swimming, but we had a little problem. Donovan was in the pool by the side. Well he decided to get a little brave and got too far away from the side. He could not swim. Scott had to jump in the pool after him. I felt so bad. He said he didn't want to swim anymore. I was a little scared. I talked to him and he gave me a hug. He said his heart hurt and I felt horrible.

Today was a laid back day. We were going to go to church but we had no water. I was not a happy camper. Donovan was looking so forward to going to church. He told me he wanted to sing to Jesus. Gosh I love that little boy.

Now tomorrow is the dreaded Hell day. I do not want to go back to work and sit for a workshop. I mean I need to figure out how to be elsewhere. I just realize that working at school is very political. You have to be young and cute to get anywhere up there. I guess it just took me a long time to see that. My feelings are just a roller coaster where work is concerned. I need to remember I have the power to change but do not have the power to change other people. I have a verse to help me through the day.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

I need to place this verse on my tile in the kitchen so I can see it everyday. I am going to need it just to make it through the school year. God give me the strength to make it through the year. Please hold my tongue Lord.

Oh well it is late and i need to get in bed. I am actually tired right now. That is first. My little boy is asleep.

BBR Training

This morning I was dead to the world. I had to teach a training today. I stayed up too late looking for my jump drive for my lesson. I think it was about 1 am when I hit the hay, and woke up at 5 am. I was dead. I did make it through the day, but oh my word I was very exhausted.

Training went great. I love doing training. It make me realize why I became a teacher. I love teaching.

Donovan and I have done nothing. I am so excited about the rest of the week after tomorrow. I am taking Donovan to Splashtown with my friend Tricia. I will post pictures. Then on Friday to the beach. I can't wait. It will be so much fun. I hope he doesn't have Tball practice that day or I am screwed. I hope that practice can be Saturday.

I am so exhausted so this will be short. I need to hit the hay.

The Weekend is Over

Well this weekend has really been great. Donovan had Tball practice on Friday. He did a great job. He is so cute batting. I love my little man.

Saturday, we really didn't do much. We took Donovan to see the Smurfs. It was a cute movie. I remember the Smurfs. I loved that show. Donovan really enjoyed it and Scott really liked it too. It was so nice to do a family thing. After the movie we went to the mall. It was a nice day.

Sunday was just a relaxing day. I did absolutely nothing. In fact Donovan and I didn't make it to church. We slept in which is really unusual. I started getting my backpacks together for Operation Backpack for a friend who is collecting items. I just need to go get some binders tomorrow and we will have a backpack put together. I was so excited I was able to get two backpacks for 9.99 at Walgreens.

Scott and I did take Donovan swimming. I am so worried about Donovan, he has anger management issues. I don't want him to be like some of the kids I teach. I know that is horrible, but we have to find a way to control his anger. I am not sure if it is just me or it is everyone. I stayed at the pool for a bit, then went home. I had a horrible headache. I think eating my first meal after 2 pm didn't help the matters much and the fact that it was so hot outside. Oh well lesson learned for sure. I did get to see Donovan doggie paddle. I am so proud of him. He was so proud of himself. Gosh I love that little boy.

Today Scott's sister Allison called him. Of course it is more family drama. I don't understand why his sisters always involve him. I am just tired of them. I am done, and I don't even want to write about it. Just ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Not much...Just a Friday

Today I have really done nothing. I finished another book. Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin. I really liked this book. I am slowly getting to my goal of 30 books.

I went to the Gradebook Access class today. I am so glad I did. It will make it easy for when I go back to school. I dread school. I dread being back with adults who either gossip or back stab. I mean I am not sure how tolerant I can be for next year.

Donovan had Tball practice tonight. I think Austin's mom is taking him off the team because he was getting in trouble the whole time. I think it is to much pressure for her. I feel bad for her because I feel if Austin's dad was there it would be different. Donovan is too cute when he plays t ball.

Just another boring Friday.

Lazy Hazy Day

Today has been a lazy day. I was just not into doing anything. I keep thinking of that stupid song by Bruno Mars....."Today I don't feel like doing anything..." I am dreading that my summer is coming to an end.

Dieting this summer has been a bummer. I have not really gained but a pound here and there. I can't complain. I wish I could of seen a little more weight come off. I think when I get back to work I will have a better routine. I just have not done enough exercising. I wish I had. I really want to lose another 15 pounds. I can't wait till I get to that mark. I know I can do it and I will.

Donovan is a funny little one today. He came up to me and grabbed my cheeks. He said isn't that cute and squeezed my cheeks. What a cutie. Too bad tonight he busted his lip. He was jumping and I told him to stop. Well he tripped and fell on the coffee table. It scared the tar out of me. I am just glad it was only his lip that bleed.

Well I finished another book. One I have wanted to read for a while. However, I really didn't read it. I listen to it on CD. I am needing to read more books for my students. I hope to do a competition with my students. I am just not sure how but will get it done. I read/listened The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Book 1 by Ann Brashears. Loved it.

Broke down and called a friend today. Found out there was a comman thread of who caused the problem. Why am I not surprised. I know that I will be on my toes and not trust anyone when it comes to certain situations. I will have to pray that God shows me a way to handle this. I am not sure I will be able to if something doesn't intervine.

Another day down, but at least today went by slow. Now if it could do that for the rest of teh week.
