Weekend Fillers

For the love of God...Can my weekends get any better? What am I doing? Well I'm still wallowing in the fact that I just got dumped because I have cats and that I'm spending my Sunday morning getting report cards ready. Ahhh the life of a teacher...how exciting right? Well yesterday, I thought I would go buy my problems away and I did...$150 worth of feeling better. Let me tell you, it was a very temporary replacement. Also went to go see the movie Fireproof with a girlfriend and boy did that not help me feel better about myself. I thought Kirk Cameron was hot and I wanted to tell the girl to quit her whining and be glad she's got somebody that's at least making an effort. Now I know what you married people are thinking, she just doesn't understand what it's like and you know what? You are absolutely right I don't BUT do you remember what it's like to be single? Go on lots of dead end dates hoping that it will turn into something more only to be disappointed? Do you remember what it's like to NOT have plans every weekend because your friends are busy with their husbands, boyfriends, kids whatever? Yes I'm venting because I'm fed up lol...

As for my Chicago plans, my tickets are booked for my first trip up there. I've got a girlfriend going with me and we are taking a five wonderful day vacation. *Sigh* Hurry and get here January...I will be going to visit schools and hopefully dropping off my resume with prospective employers. That is if I still want to be a teacher... I love the kids, it's the only thing that keeps me going I think. I wonder if any hotels or anything like that is hiring? I could probably make the same ammount of money wit a lot less work. Hmmmm something to think about.

Last but not least, it wouldn't be a teacher blog if I didn't include one kids say the darnest things moment. So we are doing addition right now in class and I have a little girl raise her hand. She says I have a problem that I can't figure out. She has a dead serious look on her face and I'm wondering what the problem is. So she says I keep adding 8 + 7 and I keep getting 15. I've done it five times now and I can't get the right answer. So I (trying not to laugh) say ok show me how you are doing it. So she starts at eight and counts up seven using her fingers and says seeeeeee I always get 15. So I say well maybe that's the right answer and she looks at me and says Is it? Oh. I know kids are cute right?
