Something strange- and this posting will not mention school!

Last night Sam and I were watching TV and waiting for our freind to come over so that we could go to the gym where the boys were going to play basketball and I was going to do the stair master and run on the treadmill. So we get a call from his friend and we can hear his friend talking on his phone to us (he was right outside our door). (mind you we live on the 2nd floor of an apartment building and outside of our door is covered because there is a roof covering the stairway and walkway. So apprently his friend went to open our door and thir was a bird perched on the door knob. So then he had Sam turn the door knob from the inside and the bird went flying into his friend causing his friend to scream like a little girl. Then the bird tried to fly away but only made it about 5 feet and then it is still there this morning so I am assumming it was hurt and is no longer alive. I just think overall that is a weird place for a bird to perch of all of the trees and normal places it decided to live its last moments on our doorknob. I took out my hand sanatizer and covered the entire knob with it-- so those germs are gone don't you worry!

update

This past week I only had to work 2 days: which was so nice! I was in a class that I love and have so much fun with... I also will be there tomorrow as well! I don't yet have jobs set up for Tuesday or Friday but I am sure something will come up. Soon I will be taking a long term job in a Kindergarten but will still be subbing in various classes 2-3 days a week. I am nervous about the Kindergarten class but I am sure I will survive. This weekend on Friday I was so tired that Sam and I went out to dinner and then got home at about 9:30 and I fell straight asleep.. I first fell asleep on the couch and barely made it into bed. Saturday I went to Sam's basketball game- his team lost by 1 point! Then we went to a potlach dinner and a friend of his mom's house. Then we went to a friends house and played this crazy game. The game is called Quelf (or something close to that) every card has a different rule and I ended up #1( having to act of a touch down dance that had to include shaking the junk in my trunk) #2 acting like Santa Clause and anyone who sat on my lap got to move an extra space and also tell me what they wanted for Christmas #3 touch raw eggs and then yell out "All Hail to the Chinese Cheeseburger"--- yeah it was a weird game but it was a lot of fun! Then today Sam had another baketball game but I stayed home and cleaned up some of my messes and just relaxed.. then we went to Subway for lunch and I tried to buy some grocerys at QFC but they were sold out/ Didn't carry the three things I went in there for: Bluberries, Chaos (this chip mix), and ripe avacados. So... tomorrow after school I will have to stop by again because they said they should have the blueberries and ripe avacados. Right now I am watching TV (we don't have cable anymore because we are saving 60 dollars a month to only get the basic channels) That money is supposed to be used on a gym membership but we haven't gotten that yet and I don't really fore see that happening anytime soon- but maybe!

Vacation!!

I am so excited because we get Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off of next week! I Feel like I really need this! I had a full day everyday this week. I classes were all good but I feel like most days were pretty involved so I was busy the entire time with stuff to do. Yesterday I subbed for a friend and her class was great, but it was Valentines Day and I was there for the party so that part was chatotic I told all of the kids only three peices of candy each but some of the peices were huge! Also, they had cupcakes and juice and one of the candies that was brought in was a giant bottle of colored sugar--- so yes, they were so hyped up! This class today is really calm here is why: 4 kids were absent and now 5 more have left early (because of the mid winter break they are leaving early for vacations) So I am down to about 15 students! Plus they are 5th graders so they are really self sufficiant and the most obnoxious one just went home!! For Valentines Day Sam got me a hot pink I-Pod Nano.. I have been wanting an I-Pod for a while now but I have no idea how to use the thing. We went out to dinner to his Mexican Place that is not very fancy but tastes really good. We went to the theatre to go see the movie Step Up 2 but we would have had to wait around for a few hours for the next one- so we just went home and watched Deal or No Deal. I think that we are going to Bellingham for a day or 2 during break. I have not been there since June when I graduated from college. We are going to our favorite resteraunt Lemongrass and then he is visiting a friend- We are going to my parents on the way home. Also I think that the dresses for my friedns weddign will be in so I am going to try that on and hopefully the thing will fit so we won't have to mess with reordering or making modifications to it!

What is up

So, today I subbing for a music teacher. The thing about music teachers is that they don't trust subs to sing songs or do musical things with their students. In my case that works out well since I can hardly carry a tune. But it also makes the job pretty boring because they assign you to do things like have them play musical instrument bingo and watch movies- (ones I have seen a million times (those Disney Sing a long song movies from the early 90's). Also you only have each class for 30 minutes so if they are annoying they are gone fairly quickly. Right now I am just wasting time because one of the teachers came in and asked if her kids could not come today because they are working on a project in their class. So I have a 1/2 break and then one class and then a 1 hour 15 minute break.... Also my last class is at 2:42 and school gets out at 3:15 --so basically I am getting paid today to not do much at all. I did teach the 6th and 5th graders "Big Kid" I mistakenly told the first group to play it as Big Birdy but told them some people call it big booty- so they all kept saying that and I kept correcting them so they wouldn't get me in trouble! Anyways some of the kids really got into that so that was cool the downside is they also cannot carry tunes and they totally were playing the game wrong and I was trying my hardest not to correct them! So, I have not written in a while so I will now go into what I did this weekend. On Friday I was suppose to go and watch my brother's choir sing in Bellevue but Sam made other plans and I did not want to go by myself so I went over and hung out with Jodie at her house. On Friday the boys played a basketball game and Jodie and I went and saw "How She Move" which I thought was a good movie. The plot was perdictable and not great but, the dancing was amazing. Sunday we went over the TC and Jodie's and watched the Superbowl and ate a ton of junk food. The game was really good I thought and I was glad that Eli Manning's team won! - Now it is fair both brothers have now won a Super Bowl. I have been playing my DS a lot I wish I would have brought it in my purse today so that I could play during all this free time! I need to find some new websites to visit when I am bored because I am getting tired of all of my old normal ones. I can't wait for the weekend because I feel like I really need sleep (I know it is only Monday!)
