Finally....I am posting...

Well i finally figured out how to get back to the part where you can write in the blog. I sometimes forget about bloggin as you can tell since i have not blogged "in a coons age". I finished my long term substitute assignment on January 24th and have just been substituting anywhere they needed me since that time. I even subbed last week for the middle school where I was a long term sub for the first four weeks. The class has grown since i left and she has a steady 14 kids in each class. She mainly teaches Science to 6th and 8th graders and then also teaches Language Arts and Math to her kids that are considered self contained. I taught one day last week in a Math class from He**. It was horrible! I told James that it was probably my 2nd worst day of subbing i have ever had in my 2 yrs of subbing. Are you wondering what my worst day was? Well, last year I went into a 8th grade class room and was barely there for 15 minutes trying to get their attention. I got so frustrated I w...

What to do at 3 in the morning?

-
Well here I sit at the computer and its nearly 3:30 in the morning now. I started getting sick yesterday at school. I was sneezing like crazy most of the day. When I got home I started taking meds. I took everything from Claritin (thinking it might be my allergies) to Theraflu and so far no real relief. Then about 11:45pm I took something that had an antihestomine (not sure what it was since it was out of the box) I figure good something that would dry me up. Well it actually did dry me up however I have been a wake most of the night. UGHHH!! I was suppose to work today but when i woke up at 11:45 pm and good not hardly talk or do much else i called in to the lady that assigns the subs and told her i could not work. Yesterday, Justin was sick with a low fever and coughing. I am hoping to be able to send him to school today. He has missed 8 days of school so far this year and can not miss anymore than 10 before they decide to retain him. I would rather he not have to stay in 3rd grade a...

Day 23: Dream Job

-
     I truly believe that my "Dream Job" would be to be an Author! I have always loved writing. When I was in high school and was in English class my teacher at the time told me to keep writing. She saw a potential there in my writing. I haven't kept up with writing stories or poems like I used to do. However, since i am home now on disability, this is a good time to start writing. I started back on January 1st, writing for the Blog Challenge. I also write in my journal on " 750words " a day.    Sometimes it is hard to come up with 750 words because I lead a rather boring life. I am hoping that eventually I will get better at writing and write something worth reading.
