I wish Mr. Rogers lived in my neighborhood!

Oh we have LOVELY neighbors! The neighbor across the street just mowed and now he's sweeping all of his grass and &*(**% into the street. And you know where it will end up? In our yard. Everything finds it way to our yard it either gets stuck on our tree or against the fence. I just want to build a big privacy fence around our whole place and not have to look at anyone. LOL!
The other new neighbor that moved in next to the house directly across ran out her front door yesterday while I was planting my other boxwood in the front and yelled to ask me if I could call an ambulance. Of course I asked why? She told me her son had cut his eye. So being the wonderful neighbor that I am, I call 911 to tell them they needed an ambulance over there. I don't know these people--I walked over there to their house to make sure everything is okay, their house is filthy. I try to keep mine clean and it is cluttered, but mygosh how can people live like that????
The ambulance comes, but do I get any kind of "Thank You"??? NO!
fun fun!
Hope they don't need another phone call made.............................................


Good or Bad?

I have been subbing at the middle school this week. I am wondering when the kids are coming in saying, "Oh Good, our favorite sub is here" is this a good thing or a bad thing?? I do let them talk some and try to keep them quiet--they get their work done or I make them turn them in unfinished with their name on it and then they can explain to the teacher why they didn't get it finished. I do write names down to give to the teacher and Monday when one 8th grader punched another one in the face, and then he threw a book at him I did call down to the office for the principal. He wasn't there but a coach came up to deal with them. I don't let them get away with much. I know they like to talk and thats fine, but when they start running around the room, coloring their teeth with black sharpie pens, foul language, not listening---ok that gets their name down on my sheet! I guess its good that they like me. I like the middle school, they crack me up! I'm just not ready for Brady to be there next year. I still think 6th grade is too young to be at the middle school.
I have transitional 1st grade on Friday, so that will be a change for me.

My day

I have monitored Tues. and Wed. of this week in the elementary school for testing. I didn't realize how hard it is for me to keep quiet that long. I walked around the room not saying a word, thought I was going to go nuts!! I was supposed to substitute in the elem. school today, it got cancelled so I somehow told them I would do the high school. OH MY! Talk about a mess! A woman I know was subbing there too, and she loves the high school. I guess it just seems like kids are so different nowadays (is this really a word?) Talk Talk Talk thats all they did 3rd and 4th hours. But I guess it really didn't help that we had to watch a movie on Edgar Allen Poe and there also was the Senior talent show today too. What a day to sub! I had already told them elementary and middle school only (although ms is hard too).
Wish me luck next week--may I get good classes!!!

70's

Oh this is scary!!!
I'm sitting here singing along with Greg Brady's 70's music infomercial.
I am getting OLD. Just plain OLD.

I wore a belt to church Sunday and my son Brady told me I was too old to be wearing a belt like that. He said, "Girls in my class wear belts like that". Thanks Bray! just add to my oldness.

I'm gonna go enjoy the infomercial---cya later!

Hello!

This time change is royally screwing me up. I don't ever wanna go to sleep.

New exciting things:

*My inlaws have moved to town last, last Friday on the 31st. They are still unpacking some, but for the most part their house looks great! Whats sad is we've lived here over 2yrs and we're still not fully unpacked.

*Brady has started baseball practice. Yay! I love baseball, I love his coach and team that he is on.

*I will hopefully have a job for next year. I will let you all know about it, that is if I get it. :)
HOPEFULLY!!!

*We are talking about maybe fostering to adopt.

*We had our school carnival on the 31st of March. We (PTO) worked so hard on this carnival and I think it went very well. We made a very LARGE amount of money for our school, the most that has ever been made on a school carnival there.

*Trey Treys stone was put into the ground. I will post a pic soon. It looks so pretty! And we decorated it for Easter.

Thats about it for now. I am monitoring a class at school tomorrow for testing, so got to get ready for bed in a while.
