Next year's assignment

Well I guess I am no longer a lower grade teacher, I am staying in fifth grade one more year, oh joy...I can only think of one good thing about next year, December and maternity leave! I am frightened of this next group coming up, they are disrespectful and rude and there is one boy who tells me all the time that he wants me for a teacher and he's a handful. The other day he left the lunchroom and wasn't found,who knows where until 3 o'clock! Ugh! That's exactly the kind of kid I want in my class when I'm 6-7 months pregnant!
Lord help me!

sincere thanks

Thank you to all your heart felt congratulations. I have such great friends and family I love you all!

Too Excited Not To

I've announced it to my family so I'm going to announce to my corner of the world. My parents are going to be grandparents times two this year. Erin is due with her baby boy in July and Corby and I are expecting our unknown sex in December! After all these years, I feel very blessed.

Lazy Doctors

For the past three weeks I've been sick, and have been to the doctors three times. I went to an instacare each time. The first time I went the doctor said I had RSV(which only normally effects babies and children under the age of 5). The first doctor sent me home with antibiotics and that was that. A week later I wasn't feeling any better, in fact I couldn't breathe very well. That Dr. said that there was nothing wrong with me and made me feel like I was just making it up. I could hear him talking to the nurses and he kept saying, "There's not a thing that is physically wrong with her, I don't know what to do." Then he came back in with a perscription for an inhaler and that was that.
This past Sunday(Mar.14) I woke up feeling lousy like my head was going to explode and my face around my sinuses hurt.
My dad immediately took me to the doctor, yes on a Sunday-Corby was at church the good boy. Anyway, we went to the instacare at the new Riverton Hospital....The doctor examined me and listened to my dad tell her what all the other doctors said(and oh by the way I have no voice).
My dad said the more he explain the bigger her eyes got.
She then said and I quote, "If you're old enough to drive you couldn't have had RSV. So that meant that I was miss diagnosed and was given antibiotics for something I never had. She listened to my lungs and she shook her head. That combined with all my other symptoms she said, "You are sick, You have bronchial pneumonia."
She sent me home with more inhalers and a C-pack(antibiotics) and instructions of what to do everyday to ease the tightness in my chest. So on my bathroom mirror I have a paper with those instructions so I don't forget.
I am grateful for the one doctor who finally figured it out. Maybe now I have a chance at getting better.

The Blessings of my life

As always the new year comes with resolutions... I don't like to make them however because I just disappoint myself in the end when I don't live up to them. I do want to reflect on the blessings that I do have.
I have a job and am grateful that Corby was able to find a seasonal one. Thank goodness it's turned into something more permanent. There are going to be three little spirits coming into my life this coming spring and summer! Congratulations to those couples, you know who you are.

My hope for the coming year is that things turn around for Corby and I and that all the crap we've endured is behind us.

Happy New Year all!

Getting into December

Since my last entry, I still have a job and so does Corby for now. I can't believe it's December already and that my winter break is in 10 days! It's funny how us teachers wish our lives till the next break. How true it is! My Christmas shopping is just about done, although I'm uncertain if my neice and nephews are going to like what I've picked out. Oh well, I'm trying not to let it get to me.


I hope you all have a happy holiday season!

down in the dumps

Really, it doesn't matter anymore... nor does the fact that my being a teacher is not going to be a lifelong career for me. These days all a teacher can do is teach-if at all- because most of the time you're trying to keep your class under control-luckily mine is pretty good. Forget about discipline or making a judgement on your own of any kind... parents go to the principal and then you are told that what judgements you made were the wrong ones and trusting what kids say is out of the question because they lie to your face and then tell the principal another story entirely.
Monday I'm going in to talk to the principal after writting a letter beforehand about my allegedly calling a boy a cheater--which in the end his mother got his way and was moved from my class-- and my not reporting an incident right away in which I told by the boys the whole thing was an accident but now I'm wrong there too-because the parents and the boy went to the principal.

I thought I wanted this again... what the hell was I thinking...
My judgements about a lot of things are FUBAB these days!
