I wish...

So, if I were in Paris right now...I would probably have no clue what the people were talking about. I would also wonder why the women do not shave.

Other than that I would be having the time of my life.

I like this whole photo booth thing on my new mac. It actually is not a new mac, it just has a new operating system.

Today was a day. We had the kids for only a half day so we could grade some writing tests. It was a thrill. We did have a spectacular pot luck lunch. I like good free food.

I made my girls come back for practice later in the afternoon. It actually was a good thing. We had to have a heart to heart with one of the girls because she was feeling a bit alienated by the team and there was some gossip going around about her. It was a good thing because she was going to quit and we helped her not. She happened to be the same girl that got us into overtime on Friday.

Other than that the day was pretty boring. I am off to bed now. I have been going to bed a little earlier and watching a TV show on my iPod while in bed. It is fun.

Well, later.

So this is what Winning Feels like!

Last night my basketball team actually won! It was an amazing game that actually went to overtime with an almost at the buzzer shot made by one of my players. It was so fun to actually see my girls happy after a game for a change. It was awesome. We won 47-41 in overtime. It was awesome!

I still am kinda done with the season though. We have another game today and I really don't feel like I have a weekend this weekend. Maybe I am just being grumpy these days. Work has been different. It seems as though all of the wind in our sails has died. The passion is missing. I think we are all going through the stages of grief. We have been in denial, we have been angry and we are getting to acceptance but not very quickly. I really just wish we would know what is going to go on with our school next year. This whole change business is not my favorite that is for sure. Why can't things just always remain the same? Wait, I am always complaining about things being mundane and monotonous, so maybe I just need a bit of a change of attitude. Wait, I am not to that point yet. I am still pretty content with being angry and cynical. So there!

I am now off to finally get dressed and head to the school. It is 2pm. I am still in my pajamas. I like these kinds of days. I have accomplished a little of grading today, which is a good thing. I must now go and put some stuff into the computer at school. See....exciting!

Well, I hope you are all enjoying the weekend and I am hoping that my posts have not been too depressing for you all. Thanks for all your nice comments. I really do appreciate all the support I have from all of you! Love ya!

Wednesday...half way there, right?

Hey. Just got home from playing The Wii at a friends house. I like the Wii.

Today in Leadership class we made our Valentine's Boxes. I think the kid are pretty excited to have a party. One of the kids actually said today: "Alice, you are making Valentine's fun again!" Funny how they think it was all my idea when they actually brainstormed the party idea! Silly kids. I am glad we have decided to have the party because I usually get a little blue on Valentine's. I usually call it Singles Awareness Day because you never feel as single as you do on Valentine's Day. SIGH.

I am tired. I should be sleeping. Maybe I will go do that now!

New Slippers

Sometimes you need something to perk you up and make your day. These slippers that I paid a whole 4 dollars for were just that perk. It was a nice thing.

I did laundry and I hate doing laundry.

The feelings are work are just not as upbeat as they usually are.

I am glad for slippers.

Watching TV in 3D Brings Back Memories.

I picked up some 3D glasses to watch one of my favorite TV shows in 3D tonight. It was not that impressive. Maybe it is cooler when you are younger. I kept being bugged by the weird colors and only watched half in 3D. Lame. I guess I am not young anymore. It did make me remember being young though, so I guess it wasn't a total loss.

Today was a typical Monday. I did not want to go to work and the students didn't want to be there. I am really irritable lately. I do not know if it is because I am too tired or if it has everything to do with being frustrated. I think it has everything to do with the news of the school and how it makes it seem not worth going. That, of course, is not true, but sometimes the way we feel makes falsehood seem true.

I bought a lot of stuff for my Leadership Class' Valentine's Day party. I told my students of my hatred of Valentine's Day and they decided that we should have a party to make me like Valentine's Day again. We are going to decorate shoe boxes just like in Elementary School and also give each other cards. I think it will be fun. I even wrapped my box tonight and plan on decorating it tomorrow. Exciting.

Well, it is four minutes past bedtime. I best be moving to bed!
