Middle of November

Today was a better day than yesterday. I was supposed to sub special ed but got sucked into another 2nd grade classroom instead! But luckily there was a parapro and another helper, so the kids were all super well behaved and the day went super easy. I don't have a job yet for tomorrow, but honestly, if I end up staying home, I won't be upset! I wouldn't mind spending some time cleaning, especially now that my thesis is done.

I woke up feeling like a bus had hit me this morning! I couldn't fall asleep last night, because my damn back would not stop hurting. It was just the strangest congested/pressure/ache kind feeling. So needless to say, I had issues sleeping. And then in the morning, I don't know why, perhaps I had some drainage going on... but man I thought I was going to throw up. And the feeling I hate the most in the world is the urge to puke. Somehow I held down my breakfast and then I took a couple of ginger tabs. That helped me get to work, and as the day went on the nausea went away... but eh! I was not feeling hot. Thank goodness I had extra help with the kids today.

And, a humorous side note. My boss from the summer, Heidi, contacted me over a week ago asking if we could talk about summer 2012. Yes, they get started quite early with getting their upper staff on board. Well, anyhow, I told her sure, we could talk. In which (this was last Monday) she said "ok great, I'll call you tomorrow." Well Tuesday came and went, and no call. So anyhow, she emailed me, apologized, and said that she got wrapped into meetings, and could she please call me tomorrow (Wednesday). I said it was fine... and Wednesday came and went and no call. So anyhow, she emailed me again and said she had more meetings all day... she was so sorry, she'll be out of the office Thursday and Friday, but can we set up a call over the weekend? Again, I said sure... no problem... weekend comes and goes with no call.

This is funny, kind of. I'm like seriously starting to get annoyed because I have repeatedly expected to have a phone call with her and have literally rearranged my schedule and keep getting blown off. She said she was sorry and emailed me and asked if we could talk tonight... and then this morning I get an email saying why she can't give me a call tonight, either. I mean, I can laugh about it because at this point it's just so stupid that it's funny... and she is totally not the kind of person to blow me off. Actually she's probably the most organized person I know, so yeah. Anyway, I just felt like I needed to share that frustration, even though honestly, I'm taking it all with a grain of salt. Now supposedly she's going to give me a call on Thursday, but we shall see! I told her at this rate I expect we'll talk in July.

Oh yeah, it's the middle of November, when did that happen? Should we start a pool on when Kirby will have the baby? :)
