Hi Everyone, Back from Mexico, didn't wanna come back. It was heaven! Still don't have a job. They posted at 4:40 last Thurs. that interview would be mon, tues, and Wed. I was IN MEXICO!!! Was I gonna cancel? HELL NO!!!! 3500 dollars, HELL NO!!!! Janet- are you sure the site will be private?

I know a really nice hotel that's FREE! And the pool boy is HOT!

Candice glad you enjoyed your gig. Wish I was there. Hopefully no word on a job yet means they are trying to find something I want. I have been a disciplinarian too long! Think we'll be staying home tomorrow, swimming with my puppy again. Happy 4th Everyone!

Hi Everybody, 100 degrees in the city today. The humidity is not too high, so it's not that bad, and there was a strong breeze today. Almost finished finding the clothes I need for Mexico. Still no word on a job yet. No plans for the 4th. I think we will just stay home.DH has to work. My friend that lost over 100 lbs with her lap band just taught me something. Sometimes I can't swallow anything. Now I know it's because I am wearing tight jeans. If I have buckle up, zipper pants on, I can't eat. So, I guess this means I am staying in my night gown from now on.

Hi Everyone, I talked to someone today who may help. So hopefully she can do something about the job. Went shopping with DD yesterday. I need clothes for vacation. We are going to Mexico in July. Got DD a darling dress. I got a dress too, and I am NOT a dress person. We are packing very light for the trip. I have been shopping for excursions this weekend. I have to go make the schedules for the summer camp kids. Have a nice rest of the weekend everyone!

Hi everybody, I'm drunk posting, and I think my blood pressure is ok. IDK, and I don't give a crap. I feel OK, and I'm not hot, so it must be good. I interviewed on 6/13, and I STILL have not been notified if I have a freakin job. Everyone else at the school has been notified. I emailed some people today, and tomorrow I will make phone calls. Seriously!!!! What the freakin hell???? Oh, and one of the principals of one of the schools taken over must have backed out, cause the website posted an opening for her job today. What the freakin hell????? This is chaos!!!!! To hell with it, get me a damn margarita!!!!! This school system is a hot mess!

Talking to some people from work, they have gotten notification if they are going back to our school or not. I still haven't heard, they were supposed to tell us today. Say more prayers please, I can't go back.

Hi Everyone, I found out tomorrow if I keep my same job. I have decided I DON"T want it!!!!! Please say I prayer that I don't get it. They will just move me to another school if I don't. I can't work with the new principal. She is everything we were taught NOT to be in Ed Leadership. But she doesn't have a masters in ED, so she wouldn't know that. She was really qualified to be a principal though, cause she taught in a classroom for 3 years, she said dripping sarcasm. Her leadership style is dictator. No one is allowed to have opinions, and if you dare have one, she gets you, cause it pisses her off. If I get the job, I have to sign a contract for 3 years, and I ain't doing it! I already had this job for 5 years, and that's 4 too damn many! I also have a funeral this Sat. DH's aunt died. She was very lucid to the end. DH came home last Sat, and said they thought she was getting better. She is 90. She has been paralyzed for about a year, because she tripped getting on an airplane, on that ramp thing, and they moved her off, so the plane could go. Phyl- congrats on the weight loss. I am so hungry, I am going to bed.

I just deleted my whole post. OMG!!!!!!!!!! I am preparing my resume' and a portfolio to interview for a job I have already had for 5 years with a principal that hasn't talked to me in over 2 weeks. It's gonna be a damn hoot!!! We boiled crawfish yesterday then went to Bourbon. DD is a secret shopper and she had to valet park at a hotel, then go get Daiquiris at a Daiquiri shop, then we had to eat at a restaurant. We ate late. French Quarter restaurants stay open very late. I thought DH had a hangover, but he is sick. Fever, throwing up, and D, he's been throwing up since 4 am

Hi Everyone, DH's sister is in town to see his Aunt. She is in the hospital, may be dying, she's 90, and it looks like her kidney's are shutting down. We are gonna boil crawfish when they get back, it's getting too hot, so it's end of crawfish season (spring) We are already up to 90's. We are in the 90s in May, which usually does not happen, It's gonna be a HOT summer, maybe bad with hurricanes, I hope not. Karla, I forgot the initials you asked about the school, I don't know what that means, our area wrote a grant, and they are using the grant money to take over 7 low performing schools, mine is one. Every school in our area will soon be the same, You just can't reach the scores the government sets, and of course the teachers will be blamed for it, God knows the parents won't be blamed because their kids come to school with nothing, and do nothing in class, it's got to be the lazy ass teacher's fault. Phyl- glad your back is feeling better Candice- I'm sticking with my Ideal Protien, I can't eat carbs, because I am always hungry, if I get them out my system, I can diet Janet is my idol I'm am going see my Mom, and DD wants to go to NO tonight for Zydeco festival, NO has 3 festivals at once this weekend, Zydeco, Seafood, and Creole Tomato. IDK if we go, it may be too damn hot. But that's just gonna be an excuse because I'm worried about interviewing for my job. The prin is pissed at me, cause I didn't give her buddy a job, I think, I really don't know why she's pissed at me, she hasn't talked to me in 2 weeks, so interviewing is gonna be quite interesting, I may take a xanex, However, she knows I do a fab job, and has sung my praises to high ups, so we'll see. Monday is gonna be really, really stressful.

Round up is toxic? OMG, we use it all the time. They market it as being safe. We really have no chance, we are all gonna die, literally. Candice, we drove by Monsanto on our way to the plantation. My Dad had a friend at Monsanto that gave him a bucket of very very concentrated Round Up years age. DH just finished using the last of it this year. That's why cancer is the highest around here, the Mississippi washes everyone's poison straight down to us. I can't stop thinking about Phyl saying her friend had to take a pill she couldn't touch. That is soooo horrifying to me. Another thing about poison, I have a rose garden, roses get diseases, black spot, bugs, powdery mildew, they must be sprayed with poison, Mine don't look too hot, cause I don't want DH spray them, it scares me. My uncle died in his late 60, early 70, and they brought him back. Heart stopped. The doctors said it was because he was spraying his roses and he stayed in the clothes all day with the poison on them. The rose spray stopped his heart. He really died in his 80s with NO heart disease. If you are gonna get roses, research ones with high disease resistance, and research organic sprays. Barbara Streisand, lavender with fabulous smell, high resistance School is really stressful right now. I have to interview for my job on Monday. It's a job I have had for 5 years already. Our school is being reorganized because of a grant. But, it is way more than that. The stress is really bad. I can't eat. I throw up everything I try to eat. Today, I realized, hey maybe it is stress. I don't admit or notice that stress gets to me, but maybe it is. IDK, Many teachers are leaving our school, they do not like our new principal, but she has to interview for her job too. But, it's pretty much a given, she will get it. People way more qualified than her will apply, but she will get it. Our area is REALLY REALLY corrupt, it's just disgusting.

Candice, sorry about your DD, hope everything works out. Day two better than day one. Billy Currington, awesome, and sings one of my favorite songs, I didn't know that. "If I fall, will you let me down easy?" Zack Brown, awesome!!! with 2 fiddles!!!! Kenny Chesney, seriously awesome!!! Got home at 1, and back to work today, YUCK! Janet- I was very good today, low cal, very low carb

Hi Everyone, I'm having a hard time staying awake right now. Sooooo tired. I need caffiene! Phyl- Hope your knee and back get better soon. Candice-got your emails, beautiful voice, Love the songs, especially Autumn Leaves We went to Baton Rouge Country Fest yesterday, didn't get out the parking lot till after 12, didn't get home till after 2 am. Going back today, leaving in a few minutes at 2. Yesterday we saw Sugarland, and Tim McCraw. Today DH is coming with me, yesterday was DD. Today we will see Zack Brown then Kenny Chesney. It's the first time I have ever been to LSU stadium so I did not know what the seats I purchased were. We have to sit on bleachers in the freakin sun! The sun didn't go down till after 7 pm. YUCK!!!! I am sooooo sleepy, and I can't eat, don't know why my band is suddenly soooo tight, but every time I try to eat I puke. Fun, fun, fun! The river here is still high. Opening the spillway did not cause the flooding in the south that was expected. Unless the water just didn't get there yet, but I think it did. They have already started closing the spillway. Yesterday on the way to baton rouge we passed over the bonne carre' spillway where you can see the water from the river rushing into Lake Pontchartrain. It is fierce! and they opened it weeks ago! I am already sweating like a Heffer sitting in the house with the AC on, and I have to got back to bleachers in the sun. WTH was I thinking!!!!! Plus they search our damn bags to get in. A beer is 7 dollars!!! Margarita 15 dollars!!!!! A cold drink 5 dollars!!!! My lap band buddy came with me ( Candice u met her) she had food in her bag, and she told them she has medical problems, and the boy let her in. So today we take what the hell we want and we say, "We have medical problems" I'm taking water and protien shakes. I gotta go find my LB card in case they want proof. I will not get home till after 2 am, and I go gotta go to work tomorrow!!!!! I'm the only one not off, DAG NABBIT!!!!! We have some drama going on at work with some hateful people, Oh Lord I hate hateful people. TTFN I'm HUNGRY!!!!!! Maybe I can get my loving DH to chew some food for me. LOL
