Substituting and Lagooning

The 8th graders (the only grade I teach) are at Lagoon today for 8th grade day. I wanted to go to Lagoon, but I have a job interview at 4 PM, and they're not done at Lagoon until 5.

So I am stuck at work.

I was all excited that it'd be a day to clean up/pack up my room and get organized to start getting stuff out, but instead I had to cover a 7th grade teacher's classes. And I need to start a new book because I'm freaking bored out of my mind. But I forgot to bring one.

So here I am in Lawrence Wiedmann's room at his horrifically messy and unorganized and dirty desk hoping that I can get through 6 classes of 7th graders.


Don't worry that I watched Dexter season 4 in two sittings, by the way. Ain't no thang.

Finished reading Ender's Shadow in just over a week. Ain't no thang.

It's weird how bored I am both at work and after work lately. But my students are turning in journals AND their personal narratives tomorrow and Friday, so I've got lots of grading to do over the weekend. Oops, I did it again.

So anyways. Smooth sailing.

But wish me luck at my interview today at Rocky Mountain Middle in Heber and at my interview on Monday with Cottonwood Heights High in the Granite School District. The interview on Monday went pretty well. Can't say it went badly, but I don't think it was awesome either.

October in Review

October 1 we woke up around 6:30 and watched nightmare before Christmas. We all took a nap. I took AJ to Walmart with me. I listened to most of Viola Davis' memoir. It was so good.  October 2 AJ and I were up at 6:00. I was busy preparing for our rehab conference at work. AJ spent the day at his grandmas' house. It was a normal evening at home, and I ended the day watching Riverdale.  October 3 I walked on the treadmill. It was just a normal day.  October 4 I did leg day. Work was busy as I had to set up for the rehab conference at the hotel. I played with AJ and did bedtime. Matthew picked us up dinner and we watched Couples Retreat.  October 5 I was up early for the rehab conference. It mostly went well. I played with my baby and had a fairly normal evening, hard conversations aside.  October 6 I was up early again for the second day of the rehab conference. I took AJ outside and spent time with him. I started on the cleaning and laundry. October 7 and I was up at 6:00 and fi

November GBOMB

I missed October. I just didn't have the mental energy or time to commit to it. But I like doing these. It helps me reflect more about what I'm thinking and experiencing in life rather than just listing what I do in a day like a news report.  So in November... Good California. Everything about it. AJ did so well on the way there and on the way home. The weather was great--rainy day included. Being with my dad and watching him connect with AJ. Watching my brothers love on AJ. AJ getting to run around outside. The only downside is that my favorite donut shop was only open one day we were home, and they didn't have my favorite one.  Family photos. I love them! We took them at Wheeler Farm again, and Ali had them to us in two days. She's so good at what she does, and I was able to order our holiday cards super fast.  Christmas. Lights. Decorations. Music. It makes the short, dark days easier. Having Christmas music or movies playing just brings so much cheer.  Exercise. Wit

November in Review

November 1 I had a four hour fierce conversations training at work. I ran some errands after work. It was a normal evening at home, and Matthew and I watched lessons in chemistry.  November 2 I was awake at 6:00 and lifted weights. It was a work from home day. We went as a family to eat dinner at Salt City burger company, which was pretty disappointing. It was a normal evening at home.  November 3 I was up at 6:30 and went on a walk. I worked for a few hours. I got most of the house cleaning done as well as three loads of laundry. We went as a family to Cornbelly's. It was perfect weather and not crowded. After bedtime Matthew and I ate panda express and watched lessons in chemistry.  November 4 we all got up at 7:00. I went on a run. I did my laundry, took AJ grocery shopping, got Dutch Bros, and took AJ to play outside. After AJ's nap we went to Cornbelly's just the two of us for the very last time. It was a normal evening after that (dinner, bedtime, etc.).  November 5 A
