My life, College life, get it yet? :p

Today I found 2 girls in my class had lice, one I found live bugs on her too. -sighs- the hiBbi jibbies have begun and I am already trying find way to put my hair up in a bun in some way that doesn't make me look stupid and I can do under 5 min that doesn't require loads of hair spray. Hopefully both parents are put their poor heads through treatment. It doesn't help I have a few kids who don't mind their business so I am worried about bullying, I have more than one bossy kid that boarders bullying.

For some odd reason for the past 4 days (until this morning) I would wake up bright and early way before my alarm clock. Not today, nope. I woke up like hell, brain stuff and wanting more sleep, to get my butt to classes. On a good note my teacher doesn't need the book and told us to return it (yea, $160 back to me!) and on the bad note she does have an accent but I hope with the fact my notetaker is in in the class I can just focus and get used to it (its not really bad, just when she goes FAST).

Work was... chaotic from beginning to end but I didn't have that overwhelmed feeling since I was moved to 1st grade and half my class are my kinders from last year (and not a single kid who misbehaves every day!). We were thrown off our grove because my boss has to take 5th grade, we're still short a person, but everything was fine until the last half hour the parents showed up. WAY TO FREAKING EARLY and they went to my door first... ei.... and my boss was outside with the 5th graders... -sighs-

Pick up was a mess. They've been doing construction all summer and not finished with one of the two teacher parking lots being used for storage of equipment the teachers were parking in the field and parents in the second teacher's parking lot. (I need to get a picture, this is only till Wed, ehehe). But anyways so parents start arrived at 4:30 instead of 5:00!!! I got mobbed by nearly ten parents trying to move my kids to the temporary (or might be semi-permanent since we don't know about that main parking lot) for the pick up. -sighs-

It was a wreck trying to get kids to their cars, keep the cars moving, keeping the kids where they were suppose to be (and they weren't staying there!!!), keeping an eye on the wandering kids, getting them back in place, getting parents to sign out their kids AND CHECKING THEIR IDs with the pickup list!!!! Gah!!! I'm suprised I didn' get a dizzy spell and collapse now that I think of it. it was 101 today too.

And oh... I have to repeat this for the next three weeks until the bus schedule starts.... x.x

I still can believe I haven't been online for over a week. I've been that run down between 9 hours of baby sitting, fighting allergies thanks to air pressure, and Lucky falling ill to arthritist. I basically collapsed within two hours of coming home and up again before dawn with only my phone to check email. I hardly know what has happened news wide. I know a few major events but thats it, I'm so out of the loop on a lot of things. I need to go to the cybertronian newsletter for the past two weeks worth of updates, oi. -sighs- But I have a summer session class tomorrow and I haven't even bought the book, thankfully I'll have a few hours to get it. I just have to get my butt up. -sighs-. Hopefully given a few days things can calm down, finally.

On the cool news, I was able to attend the annual anime convention San-Japan (if for Sat only), and it was GREAT!!!

I ran out of kitty food yesterday and Miss Mika was not a happy little shit. She got half of her normal dinner and no breakfast until I ran to the pet store with Yoko at 1pm. Oi.

Yoko's foot is doing great, and the past two days I've allowed her free run of the backyard for the first time since her accident. She's not gonna be happy with me though, I GOT HER BOOTIES!!! LOL, the ground gets so hot even now when we haven't hit summer temps that I didn't resist getting her booties to take her for walks when it starts to get dark. Texas heat sucks and she's going to give pitiful looks for some time to come but she needs to loose some pounds and I need to start walking at least a few miles a couple times a week now that I don't have my racquetball class to exercise.

Work is getting beyond hectic. We found out which one of my kinders has been peeing all over the bathroom and he got busted good. The custodian had just cleaned the boy's bathroom in the cafeteria and he was the first one in and he even dropped poop on the floor. oi. Also this week on Thursday is our water field day, and for the next few days to come I'll be filling water balloons in a cooler for work. 1-5th will have massive water balloon fights, my kinders will be paying in a sprinkler set.

I'm currently waiting for it to cool down in about 5 hours to go clean out my car. Till then I'm doing laundry and the normal lazy cleaning (when I should really be overhaul cleaning).

I swear today is just... insane. My co-worker said he had a feeling the day was gonna go crazy and it did. The kids have been bouncing off the walls all week and last week too and its getting harder to keep them in line but the events today that were insane for the most part not in their actions.

We have a few special needs kids, one is a mentally slow but not a down syndrom boy. He's been having... issues lately with his poop. Lets put it that way, in which he is... scratching back there. My co-worker had to take the boy to the bathroom while I was in the gym with his class, apparently when he took the boy he found... poop on his back and else where. Yeck. This co-worker is trying to pass the state nursing exams right now so he's qualified for this work as is. Anyway, I didn't know of the details but I figured it was something with the poop issue. Problem is about is it took about 20 minutes and a few minutes before he got back I get group smushed by my kids the previous year who were in kinder and are now in first grade and they refused to let go. Bottom line I couldn't hold the weight of 8+ yanking bodies and went down, on top of another kid who was pulling on me from behind. So I had to put everyone in time out while I dealt with the kid who got smushed to the floor. He was fine but oi. We lost time and my kinders didn't finish the current step of their projects so I'll be forced to try to finish them tomorrow so my co-worker can spray pain them. We are folding magazines to make angel centerpieces. -sighs-

That's not all. PTA or whatever had an event and didn't give up a heads up WHEN they would set up for the event, they began to set up two hours before parents would be arriving and that pushed us out of the cafiteria for pick up so we had to have that in a hallway. And echoing mess of so many people talking and the kids were actually being resonably quiet at that time.

It didn't end there.

Apparently the bus transportation forgot to find someone to fill in one of the drivers of the two bus we use after program. The bus hadn't arrived by departure time so by the time the other bus dropped off all the kids the rerouted to pick up the second bus's kids it wasn't until 6pm, I didn't leave work until 7pm because I had to clean up and report the mess of the day. -sighs-

Didn't end there. I had to go shopping with my boss for supplies, that was easy but it was just time consuming after the insane day. I didn't get home until 10pm. I'm just now in pjs and about to crash to bed. I have to get up to finish the current step in the kids projects and then meet a co-worker at Target at noon, we're shopping for our secret santa junk and gifts for the boss.

Oi. It feels like its been a week, not Tuesday.

I'm allowed to wear my glasses now but until the vicodin completely gets out of my system today I can't go to work. I would usually be clocking in right now. I should be up to driving tomorrow but not to night. I hope my friend can come over and tutor me tonight, my uncle kinda nixed any chance of that over the weekend and I have a test tomorrow.

-sighs-

LICE!!!

I kid you not. There are reports of them already and now I have to watch for scratching skulls on top of flu like symptoms. And Yes, I am getting the hibby jibbies already. Bring in the gloves please and I am so not letting my hair down.

Its taken about 20+ hours of sleep and a few more of doozing this weekend to recharge my batteries after this insane week. I had to spend over half of Sat just running arrons I would usually do during the week. Bank, pet store for cat food, cell bill, food for me, and such I didn't get to do ALL week because if I wasn't asleep or at school I was busy doing something work related in my free time. The bad thing about that is I haven't gotten a single assignment done due Tues or review even half of my Japanese junk. Stress is coming I decree.... Not exactly how I wanted to start the semester off. It especially doesn't help that Japanese has become independent study between me and another student, who is like... levels beyond me. He almost no freaking trouble reading the kanji or sentences. Its fucking awful. I was so tired Thurs my mind blank and my teacher was vocally confused and disappointed with me... It was one of the reasons I nearly cried Thurs.

I'm sick and I don't want to deal with him. Starting from 1am my stomach did the crazy pain, cramps, bloating, and noises for no reason. Between last night and this morning I got collectively three hours of sleep. I'm eating crackers and water, that' all I can stomach. Its getting better, so I should be able to sleep tonight. Tomorrow I'll meet with my cousin, maybe for lunch, get the garden info and head to work cause we're gonna start packing. I'm bring over as many spare boxes from my move as I can. What we wouldn't give for several heavy duty metal cabinets with locks right now, we're force to take stuff back to the stage Monday and no closet or room to lock up anything that isn't locked up in a cabinet we already have.... we're really worried. All the my stuff I was thinking about taking I'm leaving at the house for right now. Maybe I'll store my stuff in my car once we get settled and do it that way each day... We're going in early each day we don't have classes, which is Monday and Wed for me, at ten am and staying till about 8pm. We have to have everything moved by mid-week.

In looking into getting gardens for work to do with the kids I might have gotten myself into a pickle. There are a lot of expectations and requirements to get the supplies and getting the gardens build for free from the Master Gardeners. With School and just normal work I'm scared its not at all as simple as they are trying to portray it if I can get it off the ground to maintain it. The benefit for the kids if its somewhat connected with the 4-H program and 'I'm told' they can enter for scholarships (really don't see how but still plenty of 'meetings' they want me as the teacher to attend)

I got barely 4 hours of sleep last night. The program registration was today and we had a huge turn out. According to the Janitors the first lady in line arrived at 3am. Seriously! They had filled up 2/3 of one of the parking lots with about 30-40 cars at 5am and the doors didn't open until 8am! It went so smoothly! We had all slots filled, paperwork filled, processed, and waiting lists started by 9am. I saw several parents I knew from kinders and other grades, and I'm getting my autistic again! She is being withheld another year (no surprise, she needs it and its also welcomed) so I get her again! Her dad was like 10-15 in line. There are two or three siblings of children I have already taught who are also going to be under my wing.
