hmmm

I've been home without Mark since Thursday, which really isn't a long time at all, but dang, I am bored. I had it all planned out in my mind that I was going to get all my work done, but that's been a no go. I've putzed away watching tv and playing on the computer. I've actually gotten so bored that here I am blogging for the first time in a long time. I guess I don't really have much to say. Most of the time I just think what's the point of blogging anyway.

I was super depressed this week. 2 of my students whom I had last year and "pulled" for last year made some stupid decisions this week. They decided to bring weed to school and tried to throw it away in my classroom. So irraz, so annoyed, so disappointed, and so hurt that they freakin' pulled that crap in my class. I did have a long talk with them, told them how disappointed I was. I guess the funny thing to me was, just the night before, I was just talking about how I wish I could be as forgiving with adults as I am with the kids. And as God would have it, I got an opportunity to put it into practice! I'm still irraz, they only got 2 days. But, that was much needed 2 days for me to not be angry with them anymore.

On another note, I'm tired of people asking me when we're gonna have kids or that they're WAITING to hear some news from me. How the heck am I supposed to react to that? "We're trying." That's my response. Maybe I should be saying something like, "Oh, Mark and I are effing like rabbits at least 3 times a day, so I don't understand how come I'm not pregnant either." It's just a weird question to ask, and frankly I think it's kinda rude.

I'm really enjoying the new team. It's such a weird situation to talk about. Because, everyone (okay, not everyone, but a handful) gives us (or maybe just me) crap about having the "elite" team or whatevers. I don't know how to respond to that either. If I say, "Yup, we sure do!" It comes off as pompous and arrogant... But, if I say, "Nah..." It comes off as fake humility or whatevers. Rather than talk about having the "A" team, how about talking about the tremendous amount of planning we gotta do? Rather than talking about how we get little bit kids, how about talking about the work we had to put in trying to figure out HOW we're working out the class arrangements? Yea, I have a freaking awesome team. I'm loving it. Iron sharpens iron. I don't mind working hard because I know there are others who are willing to pull their fair share. Somehow having these people to work with makes the other crap like co-teaching so much more bearable.

I have to go to the doctors again on Monday. The doctor is going to put me on the meds that induce my period. Sucks because that med can cause depression, nausea, headaches, etc. and then the clomid can cause hot flashes and mood swings. It's like taking a double dose of CRAZY! Man, my kids are going to suffer in these upcoming weeks. If they thought I bitched about their 7th grade baby behaviors before, they haven't seen NOTHING yet! Lol.

Alrighty, my paranoia about being home alone is about to kick in, so that means closing everything up and turning on the AC. It really doesn't help to watch Criminal Minds and SVU when I'm home alone. What's that noise?! Tee hee.
