MONDAY- My great aunt doesn’t work on Mondays so several times since I’ve moved to the area we’ve gotten together on Mondays. This week we went to a flower nursery down the road for her to get some plants, wondered around kmart for a while then headed to a near by consignment shop. It’s a cute little shop just around the corner from my house and has some nice things. I held my self back from getting clothes I don’t really need right now but I did find some black dressy flats that I’ve been needing for work. Came home but had gone too long without eating I guess and ended up with a headache. One of those that even napping wouldn’t shake and I couldn’t do much more for the rest of the day.
TUESDAY- Nothing much today. I picked up a few things from Walmart for a few meals. Got another pair of dressy flats, these brown to match the rest of my “business casual” color scheme. For supper I planned to make this french bread pizza that we enjoy. It’s super easy and really yummy. After pulling it out of the oven I realized I skipped the tomato sauce that goes between the bread and the cheese. So instead of pizza we had cheesy bread sticks but it was still good. We just dipped it into the skipped tomato sauce.
WEDNESDAY- Got up early today to get the house cleaned because the water would be turned off for a few hours due to maintance. Finally got confirmation from my second district I’ve been working to sub in that they had approval and were setting me up in the online system. As a teacher I was always sure to leave PLENTY of work when I was gone. But I know many subs don’t. So I want to be prepared with my own “sub bag” of activities. I plan to make up a bag with some fun color/activity sheets, age appropriate academic worksheets as well as a list of my educational games that I can input their current work to play. I’m also taking a few books with me. There is so much you can do with a book that should fill time if needed.
THURSDAY- Well there was no sleeping in today either. For one my family thinks since they are all awake and at work (despite me not having work) that I too should be awake. So once they all get to work they text me. Mom, husband, cousin. All of them. LOL I was just about to doze back off and maintance began banging around. The man that lived upstairs has moved out and they are now cleaning up and fixing things. Thumping on the floor, dropping things, hammering and even using a hand saw all right about my head. Yeah right, no more sleep for me. Did the usual around the house, pick up, check facebook and computer, then watched tv and worked on my crafts. After Joel got home to take over puppy duty I went out on the town. I met my cousin and we went shopping. Well mostly we just looked but we did pick up a few things. I was needing some jewlery to go with my “business casual” work attire. Found some I’m really anxious to get to ,]wear. We also stopped in at my new favorite store Hobby Lobby. I looked, dreamed and bought a few things. Nothing for me though. In hopes to reduce the heavy costs that Christmas entails, and to scratch my craft bug, I am attempting to make me of the gifts. I was out late but as always I had a good time hanging out with my cousin.
FRIDAY- When I got home Thursday night my husband said he had looked on my substitute website and found me a job for half day Friday afternoon. I was so excited I had my first job. Naturally as my luck works, I got a call from the school early Friday morning wanting to know if I could come in for a whole day sub. Unfortunately because I’d already accepted a half day I couldn’t’ change. My luck that all this time nothing and basically 2 offers in one day.Well since it was only a half day and my first day I thought I’d go ahead and wear my heels. MISTAKE! I came home with screaming feet. They hurt so bad. The sub job was good though. I was actually subbing as a teachers aide. I’m excited to be back to work and in the classroom only if it’s a day here and there and with various classes.
SATURDAY- Well I had hoped after a nights sleep my feet/legs would be better but no such luck. So therefore today will mostly be spent on the couch. Not out of laziness as usual but in hopes that staying off my legs the pain will ease up. I won’t complain. I have Christmas crafts to make and a DVR to empty. (I’m at over 90% full. Must empty a bit before next weeks shows start. )
I’m not ready to put up pictures of my craft projects, though I am taking pictures of before and during to post with the after pictures later. I took pictures of my new shoes on my cell phone then had to send it off for repair so oops forget those pictures. Took a picture of the puppies cuddled in blankets on a chilly morning but it was too dark you can hardly see it. So sadly this is a picture less blog today. I must try to find my charger for the real camera so I’ll be more apt to take pictures.
--Until next time, have a good week!
