Random Thoughts

So, even though it's Friday and I am supposed to be doing my "Five Favorites on Friday," I'm not...but it's my blog and I can do what I want :)

I decided I'm just going to keep this post random...because I have lots of randomness going on in my mind...Here goes..

1.  I'm really sick of hearing about Robin Williams.  My goodness! My entire facebook feed for days.  I. Can't. Take. It. Anymore!!! He was funny.  He was famous.  It's sad.  Depression Sucks BUT for the love of God, please stop.  You'd think some of my facebook friends were BFFs with Robin!

2.  I started my new job this week.  I don't have a lot to say yet but it will be, by far, the most challenging job I've ever had. My students have different syndromes and extensive medical needs. Two have private nurses that accompany them to school. I'm not sure I'm cut out for this but we'll see.  To say I'm nervous would be an understatement.  All of my students are nonverbal.  I just hope I made the right decision by accepting this job. I will have students starting Monday so I'm hoping everything falls into place.  I met several of my students yesterday and they are adorable BUT it's going to be so different than what I'm used to. 

3. People in Florida are really crappy drivers. And they're rude.  Let me tell you...I may be in the South but I ain't in the South! Bless their hearts...they're just rude, crappy drivers!

4. I've done some stupid things in my life...made lots of mistakes but moving to Florida may rank up there with the most stupid mistake I've ever made.   I really can't stand living in Florida at this point in my life.   I live in a nice community but truth be told the town house we live in is for sale for $350,000 and it's the crappiest built place I've ever lived in.  The appliances are el cheapos, the cuts on the door jamb look like a three year old cut them...just not a quality built home yet it costs way more than a way nicer house in Ohio or Virginia.   I just can't imagine paying $350 for this place.  And while we're on why I don't like living here, there are too many people, too many stupid rules in our development and too much traffic.

5.  I have dreams that I still live in my house in Ohio and then I wake up and it sucks!

6.  Lizzie went to open house today and met her teacher.  She liked her so hopefully we can continue with having awesome teachers for her. 

7.  Ben went to orientation today.  He's taking Honors Geometry, Honors English, Honor Geography, Honors Biology, a Multimedia Graphics class and Health.  He also has another elective but we can't remember what it is.  His football coach is trying to get the players a study hall and I'm really hoping that works out b/c I am very nervous about his course load with the addition of football.  I'm thinking he/we may have bitten off more than we can chew.  Thankfully, he was able to take the Geometry class.  The guidance counselor was unsure if they would accept the Algebra class from Ohio.  I would've been hot if he had to take Algebra again.  I mean I didn't do all those dang study island lessons in Ohio for him for nothing him to have to take the class again  ;)   

8.  Speaking of Study Island....confession time...Ben's Language Arts teacher assigned like 30 Study Island lessons to the class during the spring.  I did most of them.  We were on spring break and I thought it was a stupid, busy work assignment.  He knew the info.  Think what you may of me, I don't care ;)

9.  I'm so ready for Fall and then I realize I will probably never have Fall when I live in Florida. 

10.  I laughed today b/c one of the teachers I work with asked if they could save one of the fire drills during winter when it's cold.  I was like "Um, it doesn't really get cold here!"

11.  I get to wear jeans to work everyday.  And that is the most amazing thing ever!  Everyone who knows me, knows I love my jeans days. 

12.  I have a lizard loose in my house.  We haven't found him.  We named him Patrick.  I swear, if he ends up in my bed for some reason, I'm outta here!

13. We're going out to dinner tonight and I'm going to eat til I feel sick.  Healthy Choice Steamers for lunch all week has pretty much sucked (but I did lose 2 pounds).  If I'm being honest here, I'll admit that I do plan on putting those two pounds back on at Fridays tonight.

14.  I've been thinking about buying some of those Toms shoes to wear with my JEANS to WORK.  They have cute lacy ones and cute leopard print ones.  I'm kinda torn on the Toms shoe situation.  I like them but I hate them.  They're cute but their ugly....know what I mean?

15.  Our neighbor parked his/her jeep ridiculously.  Daniel wants me to type up/print out a nasty note.  I'm excited to do so.

16.  I really miss all my friends in Virginia and Ohio...like so much it hurts. 

17.   Some people that I'm "friends" with on facebook are ridiculous! Like seriously, do they ever look through the crap they post.  Issues!!!

18.  I think I might go the mall tomorrow and get 2 dozen cupcakes.  They're small so we can go through a dozen or more a day.  I'm in love with them and can't stop thinking about them.  Actually, I may go tonight. 

19.  I need to buy more jeans this weekend b/c in case you didn't know I get to wear jeans to work everyday. 

20.  Tomorrow night, Daniel and I are going to the Hollywood  Hard Rock Casino (where Anna Nicole Smith died) for  a comedy show.  I'm looking forward to going out.  We are meeting some friends and having dinner before the show.  It's only three miles from the house so I'm thinking we'll take a taxi and enjoy some cocktails.  I'm looking forward to getting out the house and having some adult time. 


That's all the random thoughts I feel like writing about today.  I have more....all for another day.
