Just a quick update
So yay, at first I hated my job as a substitute teacher, I think mainly cause the first week I was there I was still sick and therefore all I wanted to do was come home and sleep and get better. I have my good days and bad days now, one day I'll feel almost 100% better, and then the next I will be all congested and have a horrible cough and sore throat, but nothing that I can't handle.
Anyways though with this job, I work with a variety of different age groups, ranging from 2 months-11 year olds. I found that I didn't like working with the babies, cause they all had stranger phobia, so hardly any of them would let me change them or feed them. Also we'll just say that diaper changing isn't my thing and it was extremly boring to sit in a room for six hours and hear the same music over and over. But I do love the toddlers, they still can't talk much, but they're over the whole stranger issue, and they just love to see new people, so they're fun to work with, but they still aren't potty trained which I don't like.
Preschool was interesting, it was cool that the kids could actually talk, which makes things so much more interesting, except that they have a ton of energy, and they're bad as hell, so working with them definately wears me out. And they have accidents every two seconds, which also isn't my thing. But all week, I've been working latch key, and I've fell in love with it. It's basically two hours in the morning, and three hours after school, for kids who don't have anyone to watch them before or after school. They're all potty trained, and they talk!! I spend my mornings playing uno, and coloring, and playing other games which is a lot of fun!! It was hard to wake up at 5:45, but once I get there I have a blast. Just the other day one of the little girls made a book for me!! They've also requested that I stay there, and I couldn't be happier, I finally found the age group that I love Kindergarton-fifth grade!!! So I definately can't wait to go to work tomorrow...Which I'll be working latch key in the morning and pistons at night!!!! God I love life right now!!!
So with good always comes bad. So last night at around 2:00am, the phone starts ringing, and I look at caller ID and see that it's my aunt, so automatically I'm thinking something has to be wrong, if she's calling that late, on a school night. My mom has said too much, but I overheard a little bit of her conversation on the phone, and apparently my uncle is in the hospital, and from the sounds of it he isn't doing too good. I heard my mom say something about 5-10 days and then she said that a different doctor said "maybe 30 days" So obviously I'm thinking that means that maybe my uncle doesn't have too long to live, which is really sad. He lives in Seattle, so I don't get to see him much at all, the last time I saw him was two years ago when my family went on a cruise. I'm not sure if this is the reason he's so sick, but both my aunt and uncle are extremely overweight, and my aunt is diabetic, it was kinda sad to witness this, but about four years ago they came over for a week, while my parents went on vacation, and all they could really do was sit around. When they walked the slightest distance, they got winded, and it sucked to see my aunt giving herself the injections. That is my reasoning for being so weight conscious, I don't want to have to live life like that, and not be able to enjoy life because I couldn't move around or leave the house other then to go to work. So that really sucks and hopefully, things will turn around and my uncle will be okay, because he isn't that old and it definately not his time yet, it's not time for him to go yet, he needs to live a long life and be happy.
So now I'll leave you with lyrics to my new favorite song, cause it reminds me of someone special, except the first part of about going away.....
