Day off

I had 1 more vacation day to take off or I'd lose it next month. Today the fidge guy came and fixed the freezer. It sucked throwing out everything I had in my freezer. I went to the store and bought more freezer stuff.

I had another guy come out today to give me a quote for yard work. He wanted to come tomorrow morning to do it. When I said I wasn't going to be here. He said that was fine to just leave a check under the mat. This makes me paranoid. Hopefully he's trust worthy. Because my yard is in desperate need of work. Here r some before pics.



Not that bad from the other side of the street. But let's get a better look.



Can u tell I don't own an edger. And the bushes are in desperate need of being pruned.




See the tops r brown and dead. Not sure how that happened.

Can't wait to see how it looks tomorrow.

Bummed

I ended up not replying back to the ex on Facebook. I really haven't thought too much about him since. Funny thing is a different guy I use to date sent me a message on FB. weird!

This past week I got bad news at my school. Next year they will lose 300,000 ish in their budget. If the state penny tax increase does not pass my school will lose a little more than a half million dollars. 12 of us (me included) got notices that we will do not have a job next year. If the tax passes they will be able to hire 8 of us back. Not knowing sucks. I really like my school. I'd almost thought about seeing if I could stay and work or para pay (but that's like 7 bucks an hour). :-/

Get out of my head!

Latley I have been thinking about my ex latley. I don't know why. People break up when things are not going as they should. We broke up 3 years ago. And I have had a few relationships since then.

When we broke up I was not able to talk to him and had a lot of pent up anger. I could not talk to gin without being grumpy or mean. As time went on I no longer have any anger and can talk normal.

I'm friends with him on Facebook and he posted some cute pics of himself. Why? Why? Why can't I stop thinking about him? I even sent him a message and he replied with a long message about what's going on in his life and what he's got going on. He lives in another state and I guess he has a conference here at the end of the year.

I need to gather up some strength to stop thinking about him. And fast because I'm wanting to text him and suggest that we should see each other so he can see my (his old) dog. :-/

Does this mean I didn't get over him because I thought I did years ago? But if I haven't how do I and perhaps this is why I always sabotage relationships?

I'm confused...

Melted Frozen Goods

I got home the other day and everything in the freezer was melting. I had to throw out so much food, such a waste. The repairman came out today. My defroster is not working. To make it work I have to unplug the fridge for 6-8 hours so all the ice can melt. And I learned that the fridge is cooled by the freezer. I have to take all the stuff out of the fridge and put it in a cooler with ice, it's a pain. I did this once the other day and will have to do it in a few days to get me through to when they come back out. Doesn't the refrigerator know I have better things to do?

Shoes

Today, when the students went home I got the biggest and longest hugs from one of my boys. I know it was a big thank you from him.
He was in great new of shoes. When he played ball at recess his shoes were always falling off and he had very holy socks. The mom just got her kids backs few months ago and I have heard she's having a hard time. Over the weekend my mom went to get some new shoes. I wasn't planning on getting name brand because I didn't want to spend more than 20 bucks. Mom got an awesome deal some cool looking DC shoes for 10 bucks!
It was nice to do something for someone else. Plus I buy myself things I truly do not need.

Stop on Red?

I grew up in a big city right by Phoenix. It's all I knew and it seemed normal. I teach in a rural area. The town the school is in does not even have a traffic light...

New Book

I bought a new book that caught my eye the other day Flat Belly Diet. It says not a single crunch is required. I'll have to see about that. Actually crunchies are not that bad. Except when ur trainer makes u do 400.
Not ready for a diet but I'm also not ready to buy different size clothes so something has gotta give and soon!
