Subbing is a joke! :)

Well, I am at work right now. This is really the easiest job I have ever done. Can teaching REALLY be much more complicated? Doubt it. Teachers really do have it made, I don't care what they say! I am sitting here waiting for the kids to come back in. I only have a seven hour day with a 2 hour break!!! Are you kidding me? This is crazy, I can;t believe I can get paid to do nothing. Anyways, yesterday I went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries (My fav burger joint) and I ran into my nemesis! AHH! I did not know what to do so I just talked to her. This was against my better judgement might I add. Talk about awkward. What do you say to someone who you have nothing to say to but you have to talk to them because they are talking to you? :)
Anyways, the school computers block facebook so I have nothing else to do...except maybe for some online shopping. That might be fun. ;) Oh, and last night Duncan was stinkin hilarious! He was running around in circles as fast was he could like a crazy thing. I was cracking up.
Jordin and Jude, I hope you had fun at your concert and that the people did not scare you too much my fragile little butterfly of a sister. lol
Peace out G's

"I need HOW MUCH insurance"

Well, I am ALMOST finished with all f my root canals and such. I had a visit yesterday and my last one is on Thursday. Woo hoo... then I have to get the crowns put on but that wont hurt so I am really happy.
I am really excited about my new job. I start Monday, I hope I don;t screw anything up. Yesterday was a sad day due to the fact that I had to increase my insurance coverage from 50,000 to 500,000. One little zero sure makes a hell of a difference I tell you what! Shiiity! Too bad, at least I know now if anything happens I am more than covered! :)
Today I got to sub a little kindergarten class. They were too cute. They were so well behaved and polite I was in shock. And boy, were they funny. I sent the little boys to use the restroom and when they came out one of them looked at the other and said "Chad, did you see every one's penis in there" and the other boy said, "yeah, and I saw their butts too!". I almost peed on myself I was laughing so hard. Kind of weird, but cute. Kids sure do say the darnedest things. Tomorrow I get to sub at an alternative high school and I am really nervous about it. I hope they don't run all over me! Wish me luck. I have been very lucky to have only positive experiences thus far!
What else has happened? Hmm.. oh yeah, me and Nick had to discuss where he would do his clinical thingies... this means lots of separation. He will be leaving 3 times for six months each. I can;t even express how depressing this is to me. I hate to be by myself. I jokingly said (but I wasn't joking)... "I hate this school. First I had to leave my family, now my husband, and then even my dog." We will not be able to take care of Duncan the way we think is right so we are going to have to possibly send him to live with my parents. I cried and cried at the thought of it. For the past four months, Duncan has been like my best friend. I love taking care of him and seeing his little personality grow and it sucks that we are not going to be able to do that anymore. If Nick is gone and I am in Jacksonville working all day we will not be able to let him out for lunch. It is also not fair for him to be kenneled all day. I just don't believe in that. But I will miss my baby.
Anyways, on a happier note, I made a grooming appointment for Duncan. They are going to be putting him to sleep. It is really ridiculous when I think about it but he needs to be cut SO bad. The poor baby can;t even see his hair is so long! Also, I bought a new planner from Barnes and Nobles. I now have three for 2008 and the year has yet to begun. I am so dumb... I just really love new things, especially planners! I also have my eye on a new coach bag. Nick is staying pretty firm. He still won;t let me get it but I think he will break eventually! Persistence pays off. (Hopefully). I know I have too many, but I really can;t help myself. I just love them!
I got all of my x-mas shopping done! Except for one person which I can;t mention. ;) I am so proud of myself. I even wrapped it all! Go me, I am the shit! I guess that is one positive aspect of being unemployed, plenty of free time!
Ok, I have to go shower so I can actually get some sleep tonight!
Au revoir!

Happy Black Friday

Brian and Alecia have been in town. We have been going a lot of going out to eat and shopping. Thanksgiving was good. It was a first away from home which kind of sucked but I am looking forward to being home for Christmas. I miss Kali so much it breaks my heart sometimes. But anyways.... I had fun shopping today. I got a couple cute outfits and did a lot of Christmas shopping. That is always a stress reliever.
Right now I am on the phone with my sister... we are doinjg a secret santa type of thing and Jenn can't keep her mouth shut. She keeps letting the cat out of the bag. Good job Jenn :).
I also GOT A J-O-B!!!! I almost forgot to write about it. I got the offer on Friday. I am really excited about it. It is going to be challanging but I will be doing good things for unfortunate people which is my dream job. My title is a family service councelor. I start on dec. 3rd and I am nervous that I won't get but 2 days off for Christmas. I will be really upset if that;s the case. I am really excited about having my very own cubical though. :) I am such a dork! I already went and bought a cute little shoe calendar and some picture magnets for my filing cabinet. hehe I am so not mature enough for a grown up job... ready or not, here I come! ? Sometimes I wonder if I will ever feel grown up. When I bought my first suit I looked in the mirror and laughed because I looked like a kid dressed in grown up clothes. I guess I will feel like a grown up when I have kids and no life. Who knows... I am excited about it though. I met lots of people in the office and they seem very friendly. It will be a good group to surround myself with.
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving (or Turkey Day as Kali says). I wish I could be home aggravating Jordin, slapping Jenn on the ass, shopping with Kali, playing with Sara and giving her a million kisses, rolling my eyes at Jamie and Nana, and laughing at mom. I miss you guys more than words can say. Love you!

Haloween... a little late, I know.

I couldn't help but put some of the Haloween pic's up. It was so much fun... we can't wait until next year!







My family is the shiznit :)

I did a lot of driving this weekend! I drove an hour each way to pick up my dad from the airport, I drove 4 hours down to Fort Lauderdale to drop him off to see the rest of the fam, I drove 51/2 hours back to Jacksonville to pick up my brother and sister-in-law from the airport, and then I drove them back to St. Augustine. Wow! I should slap a magnet on my car and start charging. :)

Dad's visit was nice. It was really good to see someone from home. I took him downtown and we went out Saturday night. It was hilarious! Nick and dad were totally toasted and they were cracking me up. They talked me into stopping at Krystal burger at 1 in the morning. We all had a great time. The drive to Fort Lauderdale was fun too. We talked about old times and reminisced a little bit. I had so much fun for the one day I was in Fort Lauderdale. I got to see Lindsey's crazy ass and we went to my dad's cousins house. We had two huge pots of spaghetti for an appetiser, and two huge things of lasagna along with salad and lots of wine. I love our family.
Tonight we are going out to eat with Brian and Alecia to my favorite restaurant in St. Aug. It is this bad ass, really nice seafood place on the water called Caps. I am so excited. I went and got my nails filled today and my wedding rings FINALLY came in. I am excited about that. I finally got my bling back! :) haha
Well I guess that's all for now. Peace out. ;)

I REALLY schould be a blonde!

Yesterday I went to pick up my dad. NORMALLY, it takes just under an hour or so to get to the airport. I drove around for over two hours! I stopped at three different gas stations and my poor dad was waiting on me when I got there. I felt terrible. But, at least I found it. Then on the way home I had to take two little "detours". Thank goodness Nick is getting me a GPS for Christmas. I surely need it!
Today I took dad down town. I think he liked it. I brought him to the A1A brewery and down St. George St. He is such a tourist though! He cracks me up. He tried to video tape everything! It was cute though. Oh, and the funniest part. He tried to buy an electric guitar purse for my sister Jordin. He said "man, Jordin would love that". I just laughed me ass off. He is so cute. Him and Nick are screaming at the LSU game right now. Dad is telling Nick that I should have been a golden girl! ha! He IS crazy...or drunk! haha
Tomorrow we will be driving down to Fort Lauderdale to see the rest of the fam. It should be fun. Monday I have t drive straight from Ft. Lauderdale to the Jacksonville airport. Fun. (I am definitely being sarcastic). Not looking forward to that! Hopefully one day I will figure out how to post pictures on this thing.

Does anyone believe in luck?

I do! I believe I believe! :) Lately I have had some bad luck. This week started off with two root canals, very expensive ones I might add! It kinda sucked but it is just one of those phobia's I have to learn to deal with. I only cried once so I was pretty proud of myself! Monday I spent like 4 hours driving all over town to get ten pictures printed. Everywhere I went either the machine was broken, they had an old lady trying to scan in like 100 pictures, the paper was messing up, they ran out of ink. You name it and it happened. Well Tuesday, While I was trying still to get my pictures printed, I was in Target. Everything blacked out and I woke up on the floor. I had a panic attack and it was just bad. It scared the crap out of me. The only plus to the situation was the pharmacist that helped me was the hottest thing ever! Besides Nick, of course! ;) Well, yesterday I got all excited because I got called to do this shadowing type thing for a job I pretty much had. The only catch was I couldn't make it Friday, because I have to pick up my dad at the airport. I couldn't go Monday because I have to pick up my brother and sister-in-law. I told them I could come today because she seemed annoyed that I couldn't fit them in. Well this morning at 8 a.m. I go to leave and to my surprise my bumper was hanging on for dear life. Of course the first thing I did was call my mom and cry because I was so pissed. I went through this thing in my head. I thought, what ever happened to karma. I hit a parked car and fessed up why couldn't this jack ass do the same. I called in a police report and right before the cop came I found a number left on my wind shield. I was so relieved. So once again, I had to cancel my meeting with this prospective job. I swear I don't think I will ever get to make it there. Anyways, the rental car place comes and picks me up after my car is towed. We drove all the way across town, get there and get out of the car when I realize I don't have my license. I left it with all of my information at home. This poor guy had to drive me all the way back home again. I felt so bad. But there is a bright side to this story. I have a Mazda 6 for the next 5 days in which I will be driving 1 hour each way to the airport twice and 9 hours to and from Fort Lauder dale to drop my dad off. I have saved my car from many miles. I guess my luck isn't that bad after all! I will stop the bitching now and go wash Duncan.

I am a copy cat!

Ok, so I have decided to copy off of my bad ass little sister. Yesterday I read her blog and thought, this would be a perfect way to share my happenings with my hometown peeps. This seems like fun, and I have had plenty of time on my hands. So here goes...
