Ten Things Thursday!!

Thanks to the gorgeous Laura Belle we have Ten Things Thursday!!


1. This week has been very stressful at work. My kids don't take the big state assessments, they are assessed through a portfolio that has to include pictures, descriptions of activities, their present levels of performance and a whole bunch of other crap. This data for the portfolios was collected before I started working there (I came in the during the middle of the data collection window), but I was the one who had to put them together...which is kinda hard to give a description of what was done when I wasn't there at the time.

2. The former teacher in my class was VERY A.D.D. He might understand his system of organization, but I certainly didn't. He had these pictures in 9 different places on the computer, between 3 different drives. Since they were only labeled by dates I had to go through each folder every time I was looking for pictures on a specific child.

3. My assistants were so helpful to me that I bought each a $15 gift card to Subway and put it in a thank you card. I am also taking them doughnuts in the morning...good thing none of them have the band :-)

4. My mother has been on vacation this week. I totally need her to go back to work (or take my house key away from her). She has done all of my laundry, changed my beds, cleaned The Boy's bathroom and his room, dug up my monkey grass and replanted it (it needed to be thinned out), and mopped the floor. The woman has no idea what "vacation" means. Oh...and she made me a chocolate pie, and yeas she knows I am banded...wth was she thinking??? My assistants may get a lovely chocolate pie too.

5. I am being observed for the first time at my new school next week. I have no idea what the observations at this place are like. I do now they use the observation to decide if you come back next year.

6. I haven't lost any weight in a couple of weeks. I know it is because I am not eating enough. I have been so busy with these portfolios that I haven't been taking time to eat. I have been getting less than 700 calories a day, except on weekends.

7. We are getting ready to have storms and I will be totally pissed if the electricity or cable goes out during Grey's Anatomy.

8. I am back on the crack juice

9. The Rockstar and The Boy are going out of town this weekend. Is it sad that all I have planned is to clean the house and grocery shop while they are gone?? You don't have to answer that...I already realize how lame it is.

10. Even though I have lost nearly 50 pounds I still have a big ole ba donkeydonk, ghetto booty. I am completely ok with it.
