Empty the head

I may not write every day or even every week but I write when I need to get "it" all out.  I probably wait too long but today feels like a good day to write.  I am sticking to bullets because it is a variety of thoughts.


  • The school year started 8/31 without much fanfare well that isn't entirely true. I wasn't picking out a "new outfit" I did have new sneakers lol  but I was kind of just okay I go back to work today. 
  • I probably shouldn't talk about the fanfare/drama now that I think about it so sorry folks. It isn't anything big just kind of a nasty shock. We are promised that is will all work out but we will see.  
  • The day before school started we had an all day PD. I brought my camp chair to the training because I thought we were going to have to sit on the tiny stools in the cafeteria but yay they gave us long tables and real adult sized chairs.  They also gave us computers so the training was a bit more interactive.
  • Due to the fact, the district spent an enormous amount of money on our PD and future PD's with these people we were tested at the end of the training. It was kind of a disappointing moment we didn't know what the district wanted to do "do with the scores" so we changed the way we listened. We only listened to what might be on the test and when presented with " we could move on and learn new information" or " We could review for the test"  we 42 grown adults said teach to the test.  SICK
  • I got a 92 on the test :O)  I really wanted a 100 but I was confused on a couple questions. 4 if you want to be technical. haha
  • I picked up a new family to babysit and this started with more fanfare than the school year. After talking to the parents however we got everything straightened out. I basically over thought a text message.I know you would never think that I read into things and over think certain okay all areas of my life. This family is very nice and it is one child.  The other family was nice as well but they decided to go to private school. Actually, this family is at a private school as well but I am able to pick up this child from the school.
  • I can tell I am a little stressed still because I am making lunch menus, dinner menus and "outfit" menus for the week. We have the whole week planned out and that feels good.
  • Besides work and my eating, not much is new.  I am taking a ballet class on Wednesday nights. It is only 5 dollars a class and my friend is joining me.  I may not be able to make it to every class so I love the fact that it is drop in style.
WOW there was a lot in my head.  What is in yours?

  1. I love that you're taking a ballet class! The other stuff and the testing seems stressful. I took the school district's tests in order to substitute teach and only got 90% on two of them(missed one question) so I was mad. I'm such a perfectionist. I am sort of sad and depressed, feeling alone. Perhaps retirement was the wrong choice. I will give it more than a week though. :)
