I, a Teacher, Inspire Minds... David, a Cable Contractor, Numbs Them.

Ah, how true, and funny, an yet not so true, but still so funny. I love my job. I’m wore out at the end of the day, dead by the end of the week... my legs hurt from standing all day, and sometimes I smell of urine. (Yes a child did pee himself, and yes he did need a hug, yes I had to hug him because that is what you do, and yes I thought about the seep-age, so yes I sacrificed my pride and hugged him, and yes it did seep through three layers of clothing...)

Well this past weekend, David and I went to Moncton. It was a great weekend. We got there on Friday night about 7:00 and of course the first place we went to was Holly and Justin’s, Cause we love them. It was so nice just to see them again. It’s so great to have such great friends. We just hung out for a while at there place, and then off to Dairy Queen, cause nothing says yummy like an Ice Cream! Woot, Woot.

From there it was back to my grand parents for a ‘great’ nights sleep on a little tiny pull out couch... and it was cold. We awoke and headed out for a fun packed Saturday. We first went to the Farmer’s Market and shopped at a few yard sales. At noon we headed to the Dormies – oh sigh... such great memories on Dorm, the Field, the Elevator, sigh swoon. It brought back so many memories. Not that I’d been gone that long.

Saturday Afternoon after more Yard Sales, David and I headed over to see Janet and Garret. Still the same. It was so good to see Janet –I really miss her. A lot. And I just hope everything works out in the end... and I just want to see her more you know – I feel like all my good friends are gone, they are far from me, and it’s worse when you finally have a friend who is family, or vise versa. Sigh I’ll get by. Anyways - we all went out to Doc Dylan’s for a late lunch... And it was GREAT – I had Greek salad, and nachos – SO GOOD!
Later in the Afternoon we headed to the school to meet up with H&J again. We had McDonalds for lunch... and than watched some of a concert thingy for a bit... then of course – off to home – cause we have to show Grandparents pictures and what not. Anyways moving on to Sunday – we went to church with H&J etc. And Jamie Nickerson – I love her... - then we went to eat at Chang’s house... a Chinese buffet in Deippe it was GREAT I love it there!! We ate till we all burst. Sigh I love Chinese. anyways after that we dropped off everyone and headed home – I Drove, I’m a great driver... I speed and you can’t really tell except for that little thingy with a needle that says 130 most of the time...aha.that’s it for now – I’m off to go finish my homework – who know kindergarten could be so busy. Ciao

Today and Everyday of Life

So yesterday David and I went to see Ev'y off. I can't believe that in less than 12 ish hours she'll be on her way. Its so sad. I didn't cry when I left her, I managed to hold on to my emotions... Its weird to say goodbye, hoping that maybe it isn't the last time, but really who knows. so much can happen, can change. In the blink of an eye, poof. Life just moves on. Life continues and I'm supposed to just accept it.

Ahh I move on.... And accpet that if I continue that though I might get all weepy again, and then cry... And we don't want that do we?...?...?

today school went well. I'm not feeling so great - my tummy hurts and my throat is sore. Everytime I start to get better... Some child with a cough, or a cold, or a running nose decides that I'd be the best person to give the bugs and germs too... Yeesh.

This weekend David and I are heading up to Moncton... too see everyone - I can't wait - I really miss everyone... I can't wait to see holly... I can't wait to see Brandy... I can't wait to see anyone.

AnywaysI have to go Make dinner for my Hubby, and finish the Laundry:D I like being a wife-y

Ciao

Happy Birthday to Me.. is it Normal to Sing to yourself?

Ahh My Birthday... I'm 24. I'm older, and of course Wiser. Don't laugh. it's true. I'm older and yet nothing has changed - Sigh maybe next year i'll feel like something will click, my bday will be Huge - in my own brain - big like i'll be an adult. One day... sigh. As for my birthday... It's been ok. The kids in class were great. Eveytime anyone of them remembered it was my birthday they all sang - it was So Cute... until the 20th time.. then it got boring... very boring, almost painful. I'll get used to it. Teaching is great. I love just being with the kids. Sometimes there are few that are, well, Special... i.e. can't sit still, can't stop talking, and have no too clues which way is up... I kinda feel for them.. they really jsut don't get it - and it's not that hard.. 1...2...3...4...5 A...B...C I mean really... Sigh. David bought me a Josh Groban DVD... and a beautiful card.. it's so great... and sweet. I love him and tonight he's taking me out - i'm not sure where, but I hope it's chinese. Sigh...Well I'm off I have a ton of Homework.

My First Day of School

SO yesterday I became a teacher - I mean I really taught. I had a classroom, I had students, there were lessons, I hope some children learned something...

I arrived at 7:40, got to my class and started to prepare for the day - I was freaking out... So at the time I was kinda nervous, and after throwing up three times - I was over it. We began by introducing ourselves and then up to a general assembly. It was great - my 4 and 5 year olds were the most well behaved. Through out the say we learned a few things - reviewed the ABCs, counted to 5. Sigh and played most of the day.

I came home and just crashed - I didn't sleep the night before - so I just did nothing - David came home and rubbed my feet - I love him he's great.
Anyways -I know that this isn't' much - but I just need to sit down and relax...

Ciao World

I'm going to be a real live teacher.

Well it's Thursday, and in less than a week I begin teaching 18 K4s and K5s. I'm so excited and yet so nervous.

before I go into that story... I'll tell you about Holly and Justin's Wedding. David and I arrived on Friday afternoon, met up with Brandy, Hailey and Ryan at the church while Holly and Justin practiced where to stand, when to speak. It was nice to catch up... I never really knew or understood just how much I missed my ABU girls... If only Ev'y could have made it. After the rehearsal, there was as per usual a rehearsal dinner. It was a BBQ at Holly's Father's house.
the following day brandy and I went over to where the girls were staying, I helped get some makeup on Holly and her Matron of Honor. It was fun to see all the girls giggling. It reminded me of my bridesmaids. (the biggest difference was that there wasn't any babies when I was getting married). The Ceremony was short and sweet. It was so very Justin and Holly. She was beautiful and I almost cried 3 times, but managed to hold onto my composure. The Pictures were taken at a little park by the water, it was lovely, and of course they ran late which meant that the reception was running late. There were a few glitches - like the Bridal party going missing, but over all it was great!!!!


About this teaching thing... Mostly I'm just getting nervous and freaking out about how inexperienced I feel, and all with good cause - since I've never really done this before.. SIGH... It'll be ok. This week I've got my class set up - I have bulletin boards that are all done up with frogs, and bugs, and a calendar board with the months an days and the weather. There are 18 kids in my class, 8 girls 10 boys, 11 K5 7 K4... and at lunch the K4s head home so the afternoon will be a less intense time.

well gotta get back to working on the curriculum. BORING... But I gotta do it!

Sigh
It'll be ok
I'll just keep saying it out loud and then maybe I'll start to believe it.

Ciao
