cake walk

i only worked half a day today. i spent the afternoon in a fourth grade classroom. i sub a lot in this building. i worked there for two years, in the Visual Impaired unit, so i know the teachers, the building, many of the students....but, i'd never subbed in this classroom before. the teach left a math packet, and i was confident that it would occupy them for the afternoon...... here i thought it was gonna be an easy afternoon..........hahaha.....no chance of that. lets review: during indoor recess (it was raining outside, of course) a girl, we'll call her Em, came up to me and showed me her wallet, and started to count the money in it. she got to forty, when i said to her, "Honey, you shouldnt have that kind of money here. Put it away before someone sees it. And don't tell anyone you have it." soon after, the kids switched rooms, and we started math. about half way through, one girl, we'll call her Sheila, came up to me and handed me a note she said she found on the floor. with her was a girl we'll call Kathy. I started to just put the note on the desk and not worry bout, til Sheila made a remark that made me take a look. the note said, "i love you so f*****g much, from ?" i sent them back to their desks, and headed across the hall to talk to the other 4th gr teacher. sigh. she told me what to do about the note: send them to the office with a referral and let the principal sort it out. i get back to the classroom, and line them up to go to computer lab. a girl comes up to me and says that she just checked her backpack and her wallet is missing, along with $80 her grandma gave her for her bday. i asked what the wallet looked like........yeah, you guessed it. same wallet. good news? sorting this shit out is NOT in my job description. :) i know, i'm a chicken but i just did NOT want to be the one who would figure out whose wallet it is, and who wrote the note.

so.....a day that i assumed would be cake turned out to be trying. as a result, i was exhausted, and bout goofy. i went to kickboxing looking like crap and feeling worse. i did beat the junk outta the bag tho. there's something very satisfying bout that sort of workout. i love the feeling of being hot and sweaty after a good workout. i had my protein shake, which i love, and came home to watch Lost. ( I LOVE THAT SHOW) my friends chm and blu and i conf on yim while we watch the show. we make predictions and smart ass comments......lots of fun. if you don't watch a show with a friend like that, try it some time. good times.

thats pretty much my day.....i'm going to read a bit before bed.
