Where Was The Weekend?

Ok so I apologize that there wasnt a new post after the weekend. So much happened that I was unable to get to the computer. Friday was OK minus the fact I was late to the first all school mass. Dont worry it hadnt started yet but we were the last and it was obvious but o well. O yea and I made a girl cry. Before you label me a horrible person I can kinda exsplane. THey made word searches and before they started I exsplained they would pass them out randomly the next day and other people would do thiers. Well this one girl put in hers, "I love bubby" Not thinking anything of it and knowing she knew it was going to be viewed by others I said somthing when I saw it. Yea huge mistake. She claimed that bubby was her brother and she was just laughing so hard she was crying but in my opion she didnt look happy. The good news is that we were able to change the subject and all is well now. When I got home that night I was so spent I basically just went to bed. Saterday was a big day cuz I had to go to a friends wedding. This was fun but took up the whole day and just left me thinking. It was almost hard to see her up on the alter because we had been such good friends in High School and College. I couldn't help to think if I would make it up there someday or find the right girl for me. For the most part I just put on a smile and keept going. Then Sunday I got to sleep in but after that it was game on again. The day was spent doing lesson planning for this week and sealing the patio for my parents. As I worked on the plans I was playing music and trying to come up with a children friendly playlist for the classroom(no small feat). A song came on by ZOX that made me stop for a min. When I used to room with my buddy last year we would often go to bed to either the TV or on nights with adult activities before(not how it sounds i mean drinking) we would put on music. One of the songs that I always remeber cuz it was like the first one on the list was the one that came on as I worked. It made me miss my buddy and all the amazing times we had living together. I pushed it to the back of my mind and continued. After I was finished I saw the tail end of Olymipics closing and headed to bed. I couldnt sleep right away because I just keept thinking about the wedding and my buddy. I had doubts come to my mind like what have you done. I had everything I needed in Dubs. I had my friends, a great job(although it wasnt like a gold mine) and a town I felt comfertable in as well as at home. Now I am in a place with basicaly no friends, I feel lost in the size of the area and feeling uncertian about living at home again. In a way its like i took two steps forward and one step back. Yea I got the job I at least think I want(at least for now) but I sacrificed a job that had become my life, an amazing network of friends I could hang out with anytime and a house that I finally felt at home in like made it. I supose these are thoughts that anyone gets and they will come and go all year but this weekend they just hit a little harder then others. Today we had our first Monday and boy was it nuts. It started out great and I thought that hey I must have done ok cuz all seemed good....too good. We had made it to study period at the end of the day when the power went out. Now this might not seem too bad but my room is in the basement with small windows. THe students thought it was a drill........ummm right.........I was like "Why would we practice a power out?" this just put the room into a flurry that I had to contain. It was a little challenging but we got through it. We had to use flashlights to find our lockers cuz the hall was totaly black and then I walked the group to the stairwell. It wasnt until I opened the door to the stairs that I reilized how bright the rest of the school was with all thier windows. I guess we just got to have more fun. It was all good until I went back to my room and was greated by a crying child.......ok really two for two now? Turns out he was scard of the dark and since he takes a little longer he was left by himself even though I was like one classroom away the whole time. I quickly ran and got a flashlight. Together we got his stuffed together and he calmed down. I walked him by flashlight to the stairs and he was fine. Wow ok that was more then I needed. O and wouldnt ya guess like 5min later the power was restored. After all this I then had to go to a meeting about computers and get a science lab ready for tomorrow. When I returned home I took the night to relax a little before more lesson planning tomorrow and meetings later this week. I am now going to head to bed at a record 9:30 because I just need sleep at this point. Until tomorrow...Have a good one!!
