Ugh
Sunday was such a waste. Meaning: I got up, did nothing, watched a movie, did nothing, TOOK A NAP (who does that???), drove to Union to drop off le Mazda, watched another movie with Benny, and then came back home.
This ALSO means I'm not the least bit sleepy. Not the LEAST.
The drive home was bumpy and jerky and I had to pull over in Cross Anchor at 10:00 PM to get gas so I was NOT impressed. Especially after I spent $35 filling up my car on Saturday. Just my luck that I'd fill up and then be given another empty vehicle. Whatever. I'm trying to be greatful because at least I have SOMETHING to drive! Nana said "he's still helping us out," referring to my grandfather who died in 2000. It's HIS truck. And she's right. So no more bitching okay?
After coming in I did some work for school (shocker). I got my parent letter, responsible folder, behavior management, and interests letter ready. I especially got the list ready so the parents can fill in the name their child goes by, how they'll be gettting to/from school on Tuesday, AND numbers where they can be reached when a child inevitably gets lost. And for all of this pre-planning I already know SOMETHING WILL STILL GO WRONG. At least I'm doing all I can to avoid chaos.
I'm really not even that nervous about Open House. I mean, parents are just part of the job right? I managed last year, I'll manage this year. I hope. It'll be a slight help that I alread know some parents and I already know many of the kids, especially in comparison to last year.
As for right now: I can't sleep. I've been tossing and turning for nearly 2.5 hours and nothing. I'm getting nowhere. I wonder how long this lasts? This is a terrible time for me to be out of both Trazadone AND Ambien. Why didn't I think to take my tabs earlier? Ugh . . . I'm a screw up! I guess I can continue reading at 4:50 in the AM. And then when 7:30 finally rolls around I'll be way more tha ready to get up, hit Wal-Mart, and then PV. We have our first TEAM meeting at Gray Court-Owings at 10:00. I'm a bit nervous. I'm trying t think like Coggins though: this district needs us too much to get rid of us needlessly. And if they do, we can find a job somewhere else right? Never mind the fact that I'm not really interested in a job hunt. I think I'll just go about my merry way and try to keep this district happy myself!
