Girls' night out!

Friday night was a girl's night out for me. Both my sil's and some friends got together at a local country bar. My oldest sil's birthday was Sat. and the other sil's birthday was 2 Sat. before. We really had a great time drinking and dancing. I learned a few new line dances... yeah me! I also tried some new drinks. I had fun with hubby yesterday telling me what I had tried. I did a shot called "Blow job" which was very good lol. We didn't get home till after 2:00 in the morning and I can't wait till next years Girls' Night Out!!

I'm calling in dead tomorrow

I have been in the 7th and 8th grade for the last 2 days. Yesterday was awesome today not so much.

Of course yesterday was spent watching Num3ers... I just started watching this last year. The teacher has seasons 1-3 so I got in 7 shows from season 1 lol. Can I just say I LOVE that teacher?! So a note to all you teachers out in blogland... movies/tv dvds are a subs best friend. :)

Today could have been so bad b/c I feel very bad myself. I have a sore throat, runny nose and a low grade fever. Oh and the teacher needed me to run copies for my 7th graders and the stupid copy machine gave me fits my whole conference period. The students were much louder today than yesterday. Being that it's a small school I had the same students but different subjects.

oh so true

You Should Own a Beagle

Low maintenance, very friendly, and sturdy.

It's a good thing...

I like dying my hair. That boy of mine is going to turn me gray way before my time. 4 week reports come out Tuesday. We have been STRESSING how important grades are and that they are coming out soon. Does the boy hear us? Who knows. Does the boy care? Not really! I found out today he hasn't been doing homework... really people who does homework?! His math teacher took pity on him and gave him the chance to get half credit if he would do it over the weekend. Me being to dumb ass said OK he will get that to you Monday. Yes people I did.

It took 3 hours to do 4 pages of math with him. I told him it would be done today or we wouldn't go to the football game tonight. What was I thinking? Really my nerves were shot by the time we were finished. We did it but it's a miracle he's alive still! And he wants me to home school him. As if!!!

This S U C K S!!!!!!!!!!

I am at a loss. My son hates school, has since day 1. He's in his room doing homework right now. I am here trying not to loose it. He's not doing as well as I know he can and I don't know how to make him want too.

My heart breaks b/c he just made the comment that he wants to be home schooled or to just drop out. I dropped out of 10th grade for very stupid reasons and I have been dreading the day that became a subject I had to share with my kid/s. I WANT my kids to finish school.

I sit here and I am struggling to help him with his homework. I don't think it's from dropping out, but how the hell do I know.

HELP ME!!!

He's Coming!!!

I was listening to the radio the other morning and heard that Brad Paisley's coming in January. I can't wait for the tickets to go on sell. I would sell my first born for a ticket (not really but maybe the hubby lol). It's not that I want to rush Christmas or anything but I am so looking forward to January now!

TGIF!!!!

I subbed for the same teacher again today. Today went much better. As 3rd period rolled around I was dreading the little &^*%(%). As the kids came in I am watching and waiting, b/c I made up my mind last night I would NOT have another day like yesterday, but no little &*(^*&%&*)%) walks through my door. Was it my lucky day?! Yes, no, maybe?! No, of course not he came in really late! OMG he was a different kid today! I was very thankful not to have to give him d-hall or send him to the office. Or both!

As my conference time was coming up I was asked to cover a math class. Yea just what I wanted a 7th grade class... but then I remembered it was my 7th grader. When I walked into the room I see they are watching tv. I go in and sit down and see they are not only watching tv but they are watching Numbers. So for one period today I got paid to sit on my butt and watch Numbers one of my favorite shows. Now I will never dread that teachers class lol.

So anyway I am off here the laundry's calling and I need to catch up on blogs. :)

High School

I was a High School teacher today. It was a pretty laid back day until 3rd period! OMG one boy was a total ^&*%(^&%&!!! And then he wonders why no girls like him?! Whatever boy you are so not all that and your attitude SUCKS!! Anyway after ^&*(&+^&*^ left the rest of the day was fine. My 8th period was the best ever lol that could be b/c I only had 3 in class.

Did you see them?

The MTV music awards? I was so not impressed with the guy they chose to host them. He just wasn't funny to me and what did the Jonas Brothers do to him? What did you think?

I am happy for Brittany Spears. She looked very good tonight. I hope she keeps it up and gets her life back in order. Call me crazy but I like her song "Piece of Me".

Kid Rock was as good on there as when I seen him in concert. See I'm not all country lol. My bff and I are going to see Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire soon... it will be our first concert together!

Never would have thought

that when I got the cell phone bill that it would be hubby that went over his texting package. He didn't just go over a little bit no he went over 317! That's only $31.70 extra. Really honey you are 32 do you really need a blocker on your phone like the boy has?!

First

The boy went to his first school dance. He had a girl meeting him there... he bought her ticket. He wouldn't let me take their picture together because they aren't going out or anything. What was I thinking?! I did get his picture and he smiled. It was my lucky day. ;)

Rain closing

The kids are out of school today. The buses couldn't get down some of our country roads do to flooding and fallen trees. Gotta love that. My only wish is I had known before waking my kids.

Jr. High

I was reading another blog http://theredneckmommy.com/ last night about 7th grade. The mom was remembering what it was like back then and I started remembering what I was doing back then too.

The summer before 7th grade started I was "dating" a boy a grade older than me. That summer I got my first real kiss. We held hands at the mall almost every Friday night. I said my first "I love you". He gave me a ring and I thought we would last forever. Lol how things quickly change when you both start different schools.

Once in the 7th grade I met another boy. We kissed and held hands a few times. He was ALWAYS grounded so we didn't go to the mall. We didn't last long. After him there were a few crushes but nothing much more.

At the end of that year I started talking to another older guy. Once again I thought it was ever lasting love... oh how wrong I was. That summer we seen each other as much as possible, at the mall, the pool, a friends sister's house. That summer my life changed more than I every thought it would. Come to find out he thought once my bff has sex for the first time I was next. Yes I was so stupid and young that I let him talk me into something I knew little about. At the time I thought I was in love and it was the only way to keep him. Sicken isn't it?!

Now that I am a mom to a 7th grader I feel sick to think back. I try so hard to be more open with him about things than my grandparents were with me. I let him know his dad and I are here for him and he can tell us anything. I hope he listens and doesn't make those mistakes I did so young. Don't get me wrong I know he will make mistakes and that's part of life. I just hope sex is something he waits for.

Sneaky one

We ended up just staying home yesterday. I had another nasty headache. :(

Last night before going to bed the boy came and handed me a slip. I looked at it and seen it was a 7:30 am Dhall slip. Damn already! You notice when the slip was shown to me... right at the last minute after a long weekend. Crap we have a smart sneaky one. This is his free one, next time he will lose something valuable.
