Hey Girls~

Had a great first day! My morning class has 39 ESL kids, and I only have 38 desks (one at the table). OMG it is a full load. Soooo much management! Gotta love budget cuts! My afternoon group is small (only 11) but 6 are beginning English speaking and I have 2 girls from Iraq. They fled war torn Iraq to Turkey in 2nd grade and now are sitting in my class. I've had there cousins in the years past, but one of them, Andrina can not even write ANYTHING...not in Arabic, Turkish or English. Then there is Junior, who has been in the USA one month and is sooo chubby and cute (much like me)...he almost pee'd his pants because Brian fell out of the chair (ass in chair is a hard concept).

Anywho...I am sure I will have many stories as the year progresses! ONLY 179 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER VACAY!

I love you ALL!

Gonna take Sus out to dinner to Celebrate her being retired one year ago today...plus I got paid so I don't have to do the dishes!

Well......I had a crappy day at work, and in hind sight, I think it was probably better than being here stressing at my computer....

It does seem hard to believe that it has been a year since Susanne retired! WOW! Then again, my oldest granddaughter turned 7 a couple of days ago---I am OLD!

I carry my cell phone in my bra---I refer to carrying it in my top pocket. The other day at work, I bent over to pick up something while screening a kid and it fell out, he asks me "where did that come from?!" he thought I was magic!!!

Not being told of proper attire is something Rick could/would do without question! He has no issue walking in to a restaurant, straight from work, no matter how dirty he gets through the day---he is working honestly and does not let it bother him. I on the other hand will change if I see a spot that did not wash out! Have grown used to being with him grunged out tho!!!

One thing about it Laura, besides the internal discomfort at not fitting in, you were much more comfortable than they were in all their finery!!!

The office manager, did her best to embarrass and humiliate me today in front of people, she was in a pissy mood and took it out on me. She made a couple of HUGE mistakes----and I dealt with them, and her in the same way I want to be dealt with. She grabbed things out of my hands, ordered me around, was a bit*h in every way today. I did some deep breathing, and told myself, I will look for something different, so I do not have to put up with her. She is hell on wheels EVERY Monday. I don't know why. She works 6 days a week, so does the Dr. I am only there 5. The only day off she has is Sunday, and every Monday she is HORRID to be around. Not sure if it is residual, from being home with her DH, who I get the feeling she doesn't much care for---or what. But I have about had my fill. Rude witch. Sad thing is, as the week progresses, she will ease up, and be easy to get along with----and have me questioning my decision again, until next Monday. OK, not next Monday---I am off!!! LOL. Actually the next 2 Mondays I am not there. This next is Labor Day, then we are in ABQ for Rick's annual cardiologist appt. the following.

Well I am going to go check my email, and moderate a couple of threads, and veg while Rick watches football.

See ya in awhile....

Well I doubt if I will post in am. I have to be at my parents house by seven in the morning to take my dad to get a shot in his back.

As far as today goes, I feel like I need to say something but don't know what.

I think everyone has their own moods and personalities and to think that everyone is going to get along all the time is not natural. Everybody is so different and that is what makes us a unique group. Look at American Idol for instance, Simon pretty much lays it on the line, Randy kind of softens what Simon says, and Paula she sugarcoats everything!!! I may not agree with everything they say, but they are speaking their minds. Does any of this make sense? It does to me, I respect everyones opinion, and love you all for having one!!

I hope everyone has a good night and remember tomorrow starts SEPTEMBER!!!!!

My morning group is 6th grade (39 kids) and my afternoon group is 6th, 7th and 8th grade (11 kids).

So far...I like it...I have a great schedule, and I am VERY happy about the school year so far!

So, Pamela......you have tons of 6th graders, and only a few scattered among the other 3 grades.....is that because you teach them so well in their 6th grade year, they seldom need ESL classes anymore????

Pam,

Stupid question -- what are ESL classes?

I got my surgery date today -- Friday the 4th, bye-bye gallbladder.

And I have a job interview on Thursday!!

ESL English as a second language.

When I was getting my associates I was studying for a test in the hallway and an ESL teacher came and asked if I would take a picture of the class, I said sure. Oh my gosh it was the first time I ever saw or even heard of a digital camera! Techno stuff is not my forte either, I was dumbfounded!! I finally took the picture after what seemed like an eternity of denseness on my part.

Tried to go to bed early, no luck. 5 hours from now I need to be up!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
