What's" Normal About You... And What's Not?

Venting!?!?

What is it with people these days?

While picking my daughter up from school this afternoon, I had another parent cut in front of me and two other cars (nearly causing an accident) just because she didn't want to wait for everyone to move. This really PISSES me off! I, patiently, wait in line to pick up my child, but you seem to think that you are more important than everyone else just because you were substituting today. Ummm...think again!?

The icing on the cake was that she only ended up one car in front of me after cutting everyone off. She has the nerve to stop her car (in the flow of traffic) to come back and tell me that she DOESN'T appreciate the hand gestures (no, I didn't give her the finger - would've liked to though). I told her that she should be patient like everyone else and wait for traffic to move. She didn't like that one bit.

I've got news for her. The next time I see her car in the high school parking lot (and it's behind me), I'm blocking both lanes and she can f***ing wait like the rest of us parents.

*sigh...I feel much better!

Claustrophobic?!

Last time I looked, I wasn't. Claustrophic, that is. Only time will tell now because, you see, the powers that be are closing in the area around my desk. I know that it's only to increase security for the students and faculty/staff. It looks strange, but I suppose I'll get used to it. I wish that I'd have taken a picture of it before they started. It's quite a change.

Come next week, I'm going to have a lot of unhappy parents. That is because they will have to wait until I buzz them through to go do volunteer work, eat lunch with their child, etc. Ugh!

Pray for me because my patience is going to be sorely tested.

*sigh*

Severe weather

This afternoon we had severe weather roll through our neck of the woods. The powers that be were well aware of the fact that we could have severe weather today, however, they chose NOT to release students early when it was safe. Instead, we went under a tornado warning at 1:45 pm and had to remain at school until we received the all clear from said powers. In the meantime, we were inundated with parents coming to pick up their children and phone calls wondering if the children would be released on time. I hated having to tell the parents that no buses wouldn't be running until we were given the all clear or that they couldn't leave the building with their children because of the weather. It's very stressful! Thankfully, I didn't have any parents scream at me this time. I believe that would have sent me over the edge.

I'm exhausted. I'm going to get something to drink and put my feet up. I've earned my keep today!

Playing hooky

and loving it. After I dropped the kids at school, I went to Starbucks for my caffeine fix, then to Home Depot to do some plant shopping. Now, I'm off to have lunch with hubby. If there is time before I have to get the kids, I'll pot up my plants I purchased this morning.

Love Spring!!!

Get out and enjoy the beautiful weather today.

I am.

Weekends

Since I went back to work last school year, I live for my weekends. However, they fly by so quickly.

My weekends are usually filled with running errands, cleaning house and doing laundry. Now that the weather is becoming nicer, I want to be outside working in the yard. I suppose that I need to readjust my schedule during the week, so that I can get out and dig in the dirt. :)

Last week, I started my flowerbeds along the property lines. One side has been tilled and I'm just waiting for the yard to dry out a little bit to do the other side. Then the fun begins - I get to shop for plants. Yippee! I'm trying to create a living fence for privacy, since we don't want to put up a wooden or wrought iron fence. I hope that it turns out as nice as I have imagined it to be.

Happy gardening!

What?!

I just saw this story while surfing (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080401/ap_on_re_us/children_s_plot).

What is this world coming to? Third grade students in Georgia plot to harm their teacher. This would have never occurred to me or my friends when we were in 3rd grade.

I have no words for this.

*Sigh*
