Killing Time...

So I'm sitting at Starbucks wasting time because I don't work at my second job for another 2 hours and I don't want to waste gas driving home. If you didn't already know Starbucks has a happy hour! Only until the 16th, and only on Frappucinos, but they're half price! woohoo! I chose a caramel frapp and it is oh so good.




I would like to send out a quick prayer request.... The school that I work at unofficially told me a while back that I would have the open Kindergarten position for next year. I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up, but I did. I just found out today that they are probably not going to fill the open position because of budgeting issues. It is so unbelievably hard to find a teaching job. No one ever told us in college how hard it would be. Teaching jobs seemed unlimited...but as it turns out, they are not. I get so frustrated hearing people say "oh, I'll just be a teacher" when they can't find a job in their field. Quit taking our jobs! Get your own!!!! So after I finish this post, I will be applying anywhere and everywhere withing a 50 mile radius of my apartment. I just want a job, is that so much to ask?

The week I ate Fajitas 5 times

This past week was Teacher Appreciation week at school and we got some good stuff!

Monday: monogrammed coffee cup, mine is pink w/ white polka dots and a green 'S'

Tuesday: hour long lunch. We ate at FasTaco! yumyum

Wednesday: Fajitas from On the Border (fajitas #1)

Thursday: monogrammed notebook and a jeans pass for the rest of the year. If I was a regular classroom teacher this would have been amazing, but I get to wear workout clothes everyday anyway!

Friday: desserts at lunch time. I had chocolate eclair cake. It was amazing, but I'm sure I gained about 5 lbs just looking at it.



Wednesday was Cinco de Mayo so Sarah and I went to celebrate her heritage! Pappasito's was having a patio party and half price fajitas, so we knew that was the place to be! It was about an hour wait for our table, so while we waited we entertained ourselves with some premium margaritas. They were worth every bit of the $11 they cost.





I was really proud of myself for finishing it (and beating Sarah). They were a little on the strong side, and for $11 they should have been!

The next day at school there were left over fajitas so I decided to forget about the Lean Cuisine and eat those! (fajitas #3). Then that night after work, I ate the rest of our leftovers from Pappasito's (fajitas #4). You would think I would be burnt out on fajitas, but no sir. Stay tuned for my next fajita eating adventure.

Cute kid of the day...

Every once in a while a student at school just makes me smile. Today after lunch I went back into my office and found a note on my desk. I think this class is learning how to write and address letters, so they're practicing by writing to teachers. I'm so happy I got one!! Prepare to smile:

Dear Miss Patterson,

Gym is cool. I like sports. Thats why I like Gym and sports. Because I play hard and charge hard it's because I am a man.

Sincerely,

(Cute Kid)

Cute right?!? He's a man! That seriously made me lol.
