Journal Entry

Tuesday, December 9, 2008:

I cried...why the hell did I cry....Jen's travelled to Portland before but for some reason this morning the kisses were a little longer, there were more of them and the goodbye seemed to last forever, that makes no sense. However, the door closed, she walked away and there I stood in tears. I pulled myself together and wondered why I was crying. Of course the way my mind works all I could think was that something bad was going to happen.

So, after making myself a delicious ham and cheese flatbread (quesadilla) for breakfast, I got my ass in gear and headed to work. I drove the truck....squeezing my fat ass behind the wheel...and had to hold the door closed with one hand while driving...not easy! I couldn't close the door because Jen said the window was being pissy and she didn't want me to break it by forcing it down. My only other option was crawl across the passengers side....I DON'T THINK SO!

So, I arrived at work...talked to Cindy for a few minutes, then Martha jumped in too. We discussed Michelle and what she and I need to talk about concerning classroom management.

Chorus sounded great this morning...wish they enjoyed the 12 Groovy Days as much as I do. Oh well! Where are You Christmas is going to bring the audience to tears. Snow Day is just so much fun and the harmony sounds awesome!!!

Study Hall I was so frustrated...I don't get why certain kids can't just sit there and behave. I threatened detention for 2 of them. I e-mailed Tim for advice...not sure what to do!

I spent sometime during my make shift planning period to organize an agenda for the 8th grade meeting tomorrow night and get the b-ball game schedule ready for national anthem sign-ups.

2nd grade classes went by very fast. I was so proud of the lesson I came up with. I had the CMajor scale written on the board with the note colors corresponding to the boomwhacker. It was so cool. I need to create a giant poster like that so we can keep posted!

All after school activities/games were cancelled due to the weather. It snowed all day and all I could think about what Jen travelling back from Portland. I checked my e-mail before leaving school and there was an e-mail from Aunt K. She wants to come up here for Christmas. I thought that was cool! I contacted DHS and withdrew my proposal to travel out of state with Lillie. Kylie called back within minutes and agreed to my new proposal...SAWEET!!!! I sent Jen a text, she thought that was cool!

I headed home...shovelled and played with the dog outside for a bit. I got changed and played Order Up for a bit. Jen called to say they were just leaving. I watched Oprah and prepped supper. Played Spider Solitare and just as I was getting ready to start the oven, Jen called to say she was in Newport. I got supper going and chilled out to watch FRIENDS.

Jen was home a little after 6:00. We had a yummy supper, even though my potatoes were very gluey! Jen wanted to eat all the skins off the chicken...she managed to snag just one extra. As I was cleaning up her mom called. I did the dishes, scooped the litter boxes and brought a ton of trash down and they were still on the phone. When Jen finally got off the phone I asked if they were all caught up and she got all offended. I was just kidding. I found NL Christmas Vacation on demand. We only managed to watch 30 minutes of it before Jen needed to go to bed. I crawled into bed and watched this week's All My Children.
