Okay so this dating thing is more difficult than I recall. Apparently I am very much out of the loop. I didn't exactly think it would be easy but goodness all this drama.

My job is having this big christmas party tommorow night at some ritzy country club.Of course I signed up and paid for the open bar ($25/person if you're wondering). The plan was simple, open bar would have been paid for today had we not had a snowday. Instead it will get paid tommorow. I had already double checked with him that he was coming. But moments ago he calls to say that I'm going to be pissed with him. Now what's the first thing that runs through my mind 'damn he isn't coming'. Of course the next thing he says.....Yup you guessed it, he may not make it. So I ask why, and the answer makes sense "after payin my rent and phonebill there isn't anything left to cover the bus ticket". Okay so the bills are paid and the house is secured.

So am I wrong to be upset? If I plan to go see him I purchase my ticket ahead of time so that I can get a refundable ticket. God forbid something happen and I can't make it. I mean I was really looking forward to having an arm piece and showing him off a bit. Nowlets say he can't find someone to lend him the money, then I just wasted $50 on the open bar at a party I won't even be at.

Granted he was mad understanding when my finances caught me in a rut and I couldn't come visit. I'm thankful for that. And I suppose that maybe upset is the wrong word to use. It should be disappointed. But this is like constant, it never fails that if I want him to come here its an issue with money but when I go I don't have that issue. I plan ahead something I am going to have to teach him I see.

We have a motto at work we tell our students to 'Get ya P's right' our P's stands for the following phrase:
Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. Can't have poor performance now can I?

So it's been an intersting week and I am so glad that it's over. I needed this weekend and I  need to getting ready for the staff christmas party. I'm hopin that the SO willbe able to makeit but I have to make sure that I can get the hotel. At amy rate, it should be a great time, all I have to do is make sure that we have a way there. THinking bout tellin Mont to rent a car but not so sure about that idea yet. we haven't talked about it as of yet and I need to do that like SOON. Wel its late and I have been out all day I need to get home and col out. TOodles.!!!

So about my job, I have this great bunch of kids, third graders  to boot. How about all day last week wendnesday, the last day before the holiday, they  kept telling me how thankful they were or the little things that I do. You know sometimes as much as I complain about the lack of discipline that we have and the lack of teacher/staff support and how we continue to get shit on, things like this make it all worth while. I got a card from one young man who made me a card that said "Thank You for the hugs". Even better better I had a young lady that told me she likes it when I call her little mama. I makes it such a joy to have children that are appreciative of the job that I do even when I get frusterated with their behavior.  I am grateful for the opportunity to work with a talented group of staff and an amazing set of students, every adult who works with children should be so lucky.
