I said I wouldn't talk about this however....

Alright, some people might know this story already, but for those of you who don't here goes. Last year I planned the block club party. The group (which is a group of old bitties who have nothing else to do) suggested that each household donates $10 for the party. Long story short, there were about 8-10 households with children that donated money and 2-3 house without children that donated.

I purchased most of the items for the children on the block. These items were school supplies for each house that donated. The $100 + was used for snacks, candy, nachos, etc. The block party was a huge success. It was the Saturday after Labor Day. Low and behold at the next meeting I was accused of stealing from the people who donated. (First of all, why in the devil would I take $30?!) Never mind the fact that I spent my own money on the supplies and did not ask for a penny from the group. (By the way, I did not buy cheap school supplies.) One of my neighbors (who was hosting the meeting) told them that for all the stuff they got for their 4 children, they owed me some money. (I'm still waiting.)

Fastforward to this year. I haven't gone to any meeting because I don't want to be bothered with these ladies and the foolsihness that comes with it. Well, I spoke with this one lady about being the business manager. I told her I'd do it but I can't come to all the meetinbgs. How about they have already set a date for the block party. I should let them plan the party themselves!

Monkey see, monkey do.

Yesterday, my school had a copy cat incident with a threat. For those of you who don't know; there have been a series of threats in the Chicagoland area for the past few weeks. I guess what I don't understand is this: If you are calling in or writing threats on the wall so you can miss school, why don't you just stay at home? I don't think people really think about the resources that are wasted everytime a fake call is made. I hope we realize that in the end we are only hurting ourselves. It reminds me of the story about the boy who cried wolf. When there is an actual wolf, no one will believe us.

Let the count down begin!!

Alright, as of Monday, April 28, 2008, there will be 33 days of school left. Yippee!!!!

It's a good day!

So far today has been a good day, and I thank God for it. On days like today it makes me really want to teach. Then I think about all of the times I have to fuss with the students about bringing their materials to class. I am not sure why the students don't think they should bring anything to class. Who knows? If I had the answer I'd package it up and sell it.

Test results

I got my test results from the mammogram and everything was good. I have to go back in 6 months for a follow-up. I am glad everything is all good!

Pet peeves

Alright, I have a few things that I need to address. I can't stand when I call someone to speak to them and they are watching television and trying to converse with me. Either hang up the phone or turn off the television. How about don't answer the telephone if you are busy.

Another pet peeve is when I am driving down the street and it is a nice day and some nit wit comes along and has the music up so loud. I want to know, why in the devil do you need that music up so darn loud? Are you deaf or something? Then I wonder do these people think I want to hear their stinkin music? How rude!!!
