I've been driving myself crazy trying to find someone in town that does Shellac. My fav nail tech ever does them but shes 40 minutes away and gas in my Yukon is not cheap plus it's impossible to keep find time once school starts back up (we are on Spring Break this week, thank you Lord). I found a few so far after searching forever. Most of the responses I got where "What?" "Who" or "No she no come in til tomorrow".

Today in itself was bizarre enough. Last night, General my Boxer had an "episode". He just fell down in the laundry room and would not get up. As I'm freaking and looking for the phone to call the vet, poor baby could not control his bladder and peed all over the floor. He still just laid there and after about another minute or so, he just popped back up like nothing happened. He ate and drank after than and I kept him with me the rest of the night. He's all good today, and I still have no idea what caused it.

I couldn't sleep after all that excitement plus the weather was terrible so the dogs and I camped on the couch to watch tv. About 5:30 or so the lights go out. And they stayed out. Apparently until 3 this afternoon (thanks a lot Entergy!). I went and ran the roads with my grandma so I was out of the house until about 4.

New Job Title?

I officially would like to change my job title from Teacher Without A Class to SAHPM or Stay At Home Puppy Momma. I'm starting to enjoy this a little too much. The pros are: house is always spotless, I'm getting to the gym every day and actually enjoying it, cooking at home is saving lots of $. The cons: Being a SAHPM doesn't exactly pay that well. I'm subbing as much as possible but this week has been slower with LEAP testing. Today I have to meet BFF at her school to assist with cheerleader tryouts. Middle school scares me to death but I think I can deal with 30 hopeful cheerleaders for a few hours. It is Friday so BFF has successfully bribed me with several adult beverages.

Sunday Chores

I started my Sunday chores tonight so I could get an early start. The 2 big dogs have been bathed and I changed their bedding. Little Moo isn't feeling so well today. Poor baby decided to help himself to some extra food.


Tomorrow I am going to head to early service at church, find some lunch and go shopping. Monday I have to inventory and clean out my closet. It's horrible.

So I'm back in the iPhone world and I'm actually pretty satisfied with it. Now I do have my backup blackberry waiting just in case. I'm heading out to the eye doctor to order some new contacts. The school board doesn't have vision insurance but they did provide us with a discount card so let's see how much I actually save. I'll leave you with a picture of my little man and I at the Krewe of Barkus parade.

Phone Drama

I'll be jumping back into the iPhone world tomorrow. My poor Blackberry got dropped and stepped on during the Mardi Gras festivities so sadly it will have to be retired. A friend of mine knows someone that refurbishes and sells iPhones so I'll use that until I can upgrade in April.

I'm still out of the classroom but I'm not as scared to go back as I was last week. Hopefully I will be able to start subbing next week and maybe even catch a maternity leave position for the rest of the year. Then there is next year to worry about. I'm just having to trust that I will find the right place for me and I can actually begin to settle in. I do miss my former kiddos and hope that they are safe and well cared for.

Life

Life has been a roller coaster lately. I left the school that I was teaching at. It was a mid-year leave position so there were no consequences. I would rather not reveal the reasons since the powers that be may one day locate this humble blog, but I feel that it was the right decision for me. We are off for Mardi Gras break so I'm hoping to start subbing this week or next. Spring Break is also fast approaching and there's really not much longer until school lets out which means its already time to start thinking about teaching jobs for next year. I think things will be better for me if I'm able to start off fresh with a new year and a new group of kids. Throughout this situation, I've become my own worst critic. I know I can't have everything at once and teaching is a completely new field for me, but I am confident I can find the right place for me next year.

Boo Tresemme

I posted awhile back about how nice this Tresemme Fresh Start dry shampoo was and how it was such a bargain. That was before I used it for like a week and it stopped spraying. I gave up on it but bought another bottle last week and used it twice and it did the same thing. I've heard that the Batiste dry shampoo works pretty well so I may try that.
