Sad but true...
OK, so you guys know how unhappy I've been this school year. Well, it's not just me...my entire school is unhappy. My principal has gone off the deep end and it's so draining. It's so draining that they had to cancel our school holiday get together because no one even wanted to go.
Seriously! When that email came through this morning my reaction was.... "OMG! We literally work for The Grinch that Stole Christmas!"
Except, maybe he's worse than the Grinch..... afterall, even though it was small.....the Grinch had a heart. My principal...I'm not too sure about.
Add my principal with the fact that I have an extremely...uummmm...challenging...class this year and I am just barely hanging in there.
Seriously! When I went back to the doctor for my follow up appointment after having the flu I begged for some kind of surgery that would get me 4 to 6 weeks off from school. That's how bad it is and I don't see it getting better any time soon.
I'll be getting my resume in order over Christmas break. The truly sad thing is that I am just one of more teachers than I can count that will be doing that exact thing.
The excitement of the day came when we went on lock down because of a shooting at the Walmart down the street. The lockdown didn't last very long, but according to the news a 17 year old boy was the target and he was killed.....rather brutally. There was an innocent lady waiting at a bus stop who ended up getting shot in the leg. I'm not sure how she's doing.
When I got home I checked Facebook to catch up on gossip and learned that one of my friends was at Walmart when everything happened and the shooter actually ran right past her. She had no idea what was going on at the time, but apparently he ran into the store after everything went down outside of the store. She said he got caught up in the crowd and had to stop right beside HER to wait for people to move before he could take off running again.
The news also said that the police had arrested a couple of people that were connected with the shooting. They had gotten on a mini bus that picks up people right outside of Walmart.
OK, people, let this be a lesson for you.....NEVER go to Walmart!
Now, I have to go to bed because I must try and survive 9 more school days before vacation begins.

Surprises are the best!
I came home from school Friday so glad it was the weekend and just a little closer to Christmas vacation I couldn't see straight. Luckily, I as able to see the package FedEx left for me though. LOL!
I had a gift from my Redditgifts Secret Santa aitin for me. Check it out...it's a camera lens mug...
I love it!
Then on Saturday morning the mailman knocked on my door with a second box from my Secret Santa...
A book and some chocolate!
My Secret Santa covered my love of photography, reading, zombies and chocolate!
BEST SECRET SANTA EVER!
So, now, I'm feeling pretty good and starting to forget about the horrible week I had and I checked my email. I didn't think it was possible, but my weekend got instantly better!
I had a message from blog reader Christine saying that she had sent me a surprise through paypal and wanted me to treat myself to some flowers.
Isn't that the sweetest?!?!?!
Christine, you are the absolute best! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I know these last couple of weeks before Christmas are going to be hectic, so I'm saving the flowers for when I need another pick me up. I promise I'll post a picture when I buy them.
I've got the best blog readers in all of blogland!
Love you guys!
