January 5, 2009

I almost put 2008 in the title, again... lol. I suppose it will be June before I put 2009 down on a consistant basis. This is my last week before school starts back up. I have a waiver test tomorrow, and I'm going to go see a financial aid specialist to make sure that I can handle any out of pocket costs.

I'm watching Animal Planet right now, and it's an episode on the Houston SPCA going to Galveston after Hurricane Ike. Not kidding, I sat here with tears in my eyes at one point. I'm not a heartless bitch; I love animals and I love this show, but do I HAVE to cry at something on EVERY episode?!?!?!? Honestly!!

Today was a busier day than usual. It was supposed to be the kids' first day back to school after the holiday break, but we had freezing rain last night and they closed school. So we had a full house today. That was ok, it was a great day with cool activities and lots of learning, which is the perfect day around here if you ask me. If the kids have fun and learn something, then I'm happy. I just wish Jon could see that. Not only does it make me happy to do my job, but I love teaching the kids, and hope to be a benefit in their lives. He hates it, though. He feels like the house isn't his. Kind of true; I mean every room has daycare stuff in it. But I (along with my amazing assistants) keep it clean and very picked up, so there's plenty of "living" space, too. And he hates the noise. Well, here's my 2 cents about that. Don't stay up all night and try to sleep all day and the kids voices won't bother you. Since he's laid off, that's what he does. Quite frankly, it's not my problem. I just wish he would see that I'm loving my job and that I do make a difference in these kids' lives. Dammit.

Anyways, the week-end was good. I had kids all day on Saturday, but only until 6. I cleaned the house that night and we had a good Sunday family day. We just hung out; didn't do anything, but it's always nice just to do nothing for a day.
