Getting back into the routine
Getting up early for work has been kicking my butt the last couple of days. I am proud of myself for only hitting the snooze button once ~ ok, maybe it's been twice ~ so far.
On Monday, I needed to get to school early because I had to finish the lesson plans for the week and get them emailed to the other teachers. So, the first day back was pretty busy to start with and I was still half asleep so it was also pretty interesting. lol!
First of all, I wanted to wear a pair of the new pants I got for Christmas and realized that they still had a tag attached with those stupid plastic thingys. Well, I was too lazy to get a pair of scissors and decided that I could just bite the plastic thingy off. Boy, was I wrong! I couldn't bite through it and the plastic thingy actually got mad at me for trying and sprange back, hit me on the lip and it really hurt! So, I started school with a busted lip. lol! It's not so bad that people have noticed ~ except for the people that I've pointed it out to ~ but it is bad enough to be a pain!
Once I was finally ready to leave for school, I couldn't find my keys and then I couldn't find my car in the parking garage because I couldn't remember what level I was parked on. Eventually, I found the car parked on the fifth level ~ after walking the third and fourth levels ~ and I was on my way.
I got to school and went to unlock my class room door only to realize that instead of picking up my class room keys I had picked up my extra set of house keys. I had to head out in search of someone to unlock my door for me.
I got the door unlocked, finished up the lesson plans and emailed them out, changed the calendar from December to January and then headed toward the main campus to sign in for the day.
While I was in the office, I told them about my key situation and laughed about how it must mean that I really needed more time at home. I was given an extra key to use because we are never allowed to be in our rooms with the doors unlocked. (That's always been the rule, but because of the crazy things that go on in the world they're really enforcing it!)
I took the extra key and headed back over to my side of campus only to learn that I had been given an extra key that didn't fit my door. lol! I called the office and was told to walk back over for another one. I made the trek again and waited while another key was located then headed back to my class room again. Luckily, the second key worked!
Sadly, the air conditioning wasn't working! Put a sleepy teacher in a locked room with 18 sleepy kindergarten students and no air conditioning and it makes for a very long and interesting day.
There were more cards for Sebastian waiting for us and I added them to this list. There may be more cards in the next day or two because we've got two weeks of mail to sort through. lol! Sebastian's mom says that he is doing wonderfully and he may even be back in school before the week is over!

The Adventures of Lonely Girl
Download word art here
OK, guys I'm making a special blog post now because I don't have to be anywhere for another hour or two and because I want to tell you about a friend of mine who is at work now won't know anything about this post until it's already out there in blog land. lol! (Hopefully, she'll still be my friend when she finds out!)
I'm not going to use her real name...yet. For now we'll call her Lonely Girl because I want her to start a blog about her dating experiences and also because I have always been a closet Gossip Girl fan. (Don't judge me!) In the series finale of Gossip Girl, Lonely Boy got what he wanted and married the love of his life and that's what I want for my friend.
I want her to find the love of her life! And...I want her to share the stories of all the toads she has to date on her way to the alter. Trust me, her stories are good! And by good I mean really, really bad...and funny.
A while back someone told Lonely Girl that she needs to branch out and be more open to different kinds of guys. You know that whole, "If you continue to date the same kind of guys you'll always get the same results" lecture that we've all gotten at least once in our lives. So, she decided to be a little more open about the guys she would talk to. You know that whole, "You can't judge a book by it's cover" lecture we've all gotten.
As she was telling me about this and the first time she stepped outside of her comfort zone and agreed to a date with a guy she normally wouldn't have dated I came up with the blog idea....between fits of laughter!
We talked about how she could present it and what to call the blog and how there were plenty of other girls out there who are going on the same kind of wacko dates and how they could all bond and share stories and know that they weren't alone. I even offered to be her wingman.
I'm an awesome wingman!
Anyway, that was all a couple of months ago and she still hasn't started a blog. She says that it's because she isn't good at writing. I told her that she doesn't have to be, I mean, just look at me! I don't let not being a good writer stop me from blogging! I also told her to just tell the story as if we're all in front of her and she's talking to us instead of typing it out in a blog post. She still said no. I told her she didn't have to use her real name. She said that she would just let me tell her stories. (She's so going to regret that!)
My friend is in her early thirties, she's beautiful, intelligent and one of the most genuinely nice people I've ever met. Someday, some lucky guy is going to snap her up, but until then, I don't understand why we can't all laugh at the losers...uummm...I mean...read about the gentlemen she meets.
If she starts her blog here's a little example of what we'll all be reading about....
First there's the guy who stood her up because he got arrested and was in jail. She has no idea why he got arrested. She's just glad he didn't ask her for bail money or ever call her again.
And....she didn't tell me about this one until last night....
When we were at the Medieval Festival in November one of the guys in costume asked for her number and she gave it to him! They talked and texted everyday and even went out...until he dumped her three days before Christmas because he thought she was taking things too seriously and he has commitment problems.
Yes, my friend dated and got dumped by a 41 year old unemployed, skirt wearing, commitment phobe guy who is really, REALLY into LARPing (live action role playing) I just can't imagine why she didn't tell me about it! lol!
OMG! OMG! OMG! That guy is probably in a photo or two I took that day! Do you guys want to see him? I'll have to see if I've got photos of him and use them to blackmail my friend --- Start a blog or I post the pictures! lol!
Anyway, wouldn't you guys love to read about her dating adventures?
Leave your comments here and we can really put the pressure on her to get that blog started!
