"Your Earrings Look Really Nice"
Ah the joys of substituting in high school. I subbed for freshman World Geography today and received the above compliment from one of the freshman boys, lol. The day seemed really long because the class periods are over an hour, and lunch seemed really short because after you walk the miles to the teacher's lounge there's not much time left to eat. The school is huge! I'm challenged with directions anyway and wasn't given a map so yeah, I got lost several times. I'm there again tomorrow subbing for a resource room. I talked to the sub who was in the class I'm in tomorrow and she said they were a little difficult, not sure how that's going to go. Friday I'm subbing in the afternoon in a business class.
Baby M slept in his crib last night!!! We do have a white noise lamb (it's a stuffed animal that has different white noise settings) and that's been working well for him. I was able to stay awake while feeding him by watching a taped T.V. program. R had to help out a little because he was a little fussy after he ate and I needed to get back to sleep. I didn't get to bed last night until after 11:30 so I was pretty tired today. Luckily, I was able to get a nap in after I got home and before I started tutoring.
R is going to Denver next week for a conference where he is doing several presentations so I'm looking forward to having the week off from subbing. I feel like I'm burning the candle at both ends sometimes so I'm definitely ready for a break. I just need to get through tomorrow and then Friday should be easy since it's only a half day and it's in the afternoon. R still hasn't heard anything about the SC job or any other jobs he's applied for. I'm really hoping that something works out soon. SC is apparently really strict about their hiring guidelines so I'm not sure that's going to work out. I wish something would work out soon though because I'm really tired of not knowing what our future holds. There are some days that I'm just really ticked off that we're having to go through this. I was so hoping for some stability rather than always being in a state of limbo.
Well I'm dead tired so I'm off to bed.

There are some days that I start to get really ticked off too about S getting laid off. Its been almost 4 months now, and I still get angry about it - mostly due to the stability part. It's tough, but so far you guys are making it work. Was R able to sign up for unemployment?
Anyways, hang in there, and have fun with the highschoolers tomorrow :)
You sound so busy! I hope that you get some time to take a break next week.
During my teaching program I interned at a high school with block scheduling. The classes were 90 minutes long-- they felt like forever!
