hey.
hey all. what's going on. nothing here, just watching the NL get SPANKED (as per usual) by the AL in the all-star game. *sighs*--i really had high hopes for the NL this year! 'specially because there are a lot of cardinals there. :) oh well, i guess it IS still only the 3rd inning and lots could still happen.
the crazy thing is that this game is being played in houston and so far two astros have seriously messed things up! first the houston pitcher, and then the second baseman made an error . . . guess that's why they are NOT first in the NL central. :)
lucky cory is in california--a stone's throw from the beach nonetheless! he says during the day it's never above 70 degrees and at night it's around 50. *sighs*--i miss the california weather ALMOST as much as i miss cory!!!!!!! he really has no idea how jealous i am of him--especially today! it was 99 degrees today, and the heat index was MUCH higher. we couldn't take the kids outside this afternoon because of that, and they ran around and caused a ruckus. it was nuts because you could tell they didn't want to be cooped up in the room . . . but there was nothing we could do. neither theresa nor i wanted to risk them getting over-heated or sick from being outside when it was THAT hot.
and i got my first parent complaint today . . . that really bummed me out even though i know it shouldn't have--the director, the assistant director, and the other two's teacher all insisted to me that i was in the right and the parent was in the wrong. i just feel slighted. eleanor roosevelt said that "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent" . . . i wish i could stop making myself feel inferior over this whole deal! i am just really angered and hurt by it . . . the parent didn't even bother to ask me about what was going on and just ASSUMED she was in the right and went and complained to my boss about me. luckily my boss was like "she's a serious pain. no one is as anal as her!" still--i can can't stop feeling like i have been slapped in the face. then when she picked up her child today, she completely ignored me and talked to theresa instead . . . that just makes me feel like something lower than dirt. this whole situation has just really been hurtful.
anyway, i am going to go watch the game 'cause i can't keep my eyes off it (plus it's better than thinking about how angry i am and how insulted i feel). later,
