Wednesday......

Well it's Wednesday.....and I am fed up with students already this week - I do not understand how students come to class to just sit there and do nothing! 90 minutes of staring at a wall....why????? I won't let them sleep in peace, so two students sat and stared....did NOTHING!!!

Can someone let me in on the thought that goes through students' minds that allow them to waste time like that????

On another note - Mud Games for Homecoming Week was a HUGE success today - Assembly tomorrow - first time in the stadium - PLEASE pray that it will go well - and be a success!!!!

Still no date to the dance, Trace isn't available!

It's Homecoming Time!

Northridge's Homecoming Week is next week and I am so excited for it to get here...The senior officers are working hard to make the week a great one! We are adding a few events to the week to try and improve school spirit - which could use a boost at Northridge. We are a great school, but the lack of school spirit is very sad! Hopefully we can boost it!

So, if you are wondering what to do next week - come to Northridge - Tailgate party at 5:30 on Friday - Game at 7 - Dance on Saturday night!! Will be a great time...

Now if only Trace could be my date for the dance.....now that would be a Homecoming to remember!

Hmmmm.....

Well, not a whole heck of a lot going on to post about, but I thought I would write anyway. School is going so well - I was a little worried about having so many accounting classes to teach - 5 of my 6 classes, but it isn't that bad - The only problem I have is by the time I have taught the same thing more than twice, it takes about 1/2 as long because I have either forgotten to talk about some things, or I have made any tweaks that needed to be made to make it go smoother.

I am not sure I like this year's classes as much as I did last year - I miss so many of my friends from last year - and the year before - I keep expecting them to walk in to say hey in between classes, or coming to tutorial just to catch up - but they don't....

As I write this I am watching Hoarders...I have to say that the way some people live is absolutely horrifying -- the ones that get me the most are the ones that have their kids living in their filth. I like the end product most of the time - but tonight the end result was still so filthy that it is a good thing the city still condemned it! Just watching one of these shows makes me look around and not care whether or not I throw stuff away!

By the way - got to set the DVR for Leno tonight!!! My Trace alert came to remind me that he is on tonight!!! There is no way I will be awake, but can't miss the opportunity to hear that voice!!!

I am blessed!

I certainly have one of the best lives around - I am blessed with all sorts of friends and people that I love - One of the reasons I love my job is the GREAT people that I get to associate with. Even though at the end of each school year I have to watch some of them grow up and walk away from me, I still can count them as my friends!! I grow to love so many of these people that being at school without them is hard!

I also have a fantastic family - my parents, sisters, brothers-in-law, husband and kids are great! They accept me for who I am and what I do!

THANKS! to everyone who has touched my life - you know who you are!!!

I need to vent!!!!

I am so d*** mad and upset right now. The small-mindedness of some individuals kills me. I have been told that I cannot be friends with a person that I have known for well over 20 years. What kind of crap is that???? I can't help that she is threatened by me - but she needs to know that she can have him!!! I am very happily married and Tom and I are doing great (not saying that Trace isn't still an option ;-0 ) but get over yourself and your attitude.

OK - maybe I am feeling better now - perhaps I need to take a page from amanda-maxine and learn how to relax!!!!!

Labor Day Weekend...

Well - Here I am sitting at home on Labor Day Weekend. Not much going on in my life right now - Katey-bug has gone to a Mountain Man rendezvous with a good friend, so our house is very quiet and boring!

Last week school was an absolute nightmare - the computers were not working, so I had to come up with other ways for the students to do their assignments, and that takes a lot out of you - I was down to it being a movie day when they decided to work! Administration hates movies, but when you are left with nothing else, that is what happens!

This week my Dad is going to have a hip replacement - the only scary part is his heart problems could cause a problem with the anesthetic - but I have faith that all will go good - and hopefully he will be out of the pain that he has been in for awhile! I will be taking the day off to sit with Mom at the hospital so she doesn't have to sit alone - I will sacrifice a day of school to do that....

Still thinking about that horrible Cancer - I really should make a phone call to Salt Lake to check on someone, but am scared as to what the answer will be - Guess I will call Deb to see if she has heard anything!
