Who wants to rub my feet?

This was a SUPER long week. My feet are so swollen and tired I may cut them off. First off it was hot as heck. Friday was the worst. I honestly don't think that women should get butt sweat. The kids at school are so out of control. The end is near and they no longer think the school rules apply to them. I might as well take my whistle and flush it. I could blow it all day and they act as if they never heard it. It's scary how the kids can just look you in the eye and lie. It just comes naturally to them. They don't even have to think about it, they just make it up as they go along. The girls are the worst. School looks like a strip club.

The girls shorts and skirts are so short I am afraid of what might fall out if they bend over. The shirts are getting smaller as well. Tank season. By 6th grade the girls have learned that if they cross their arms tight enough their "boobies" smash together and look bigger. To make it worse they swing around the tether ball poles. I stare in disbelief. If that were my daughter swinging on the pole I would be mortified. Lots of girl cat fights. I think they were saving it all for the end of the year. It's all that he said she said crap. WHO CARES!!!!!

This past week was teacher & staff appreciation week at school. Friday we had a catered lunch from Red Robin. That food was incredible. We eat there once in a while but I have never ordered anything but hamburgers from there. They brought wraps that were so good I could not believe it. I had a BBQ wrap. They also had chicken salad, wings, cantaloupe, bread, cookies and drinks. SCORE!!! Tuesday was also free burrito day at Chipoltle. Show your ID and get a burrito for free. SCORE!!!! Monday was muffins and fruit in the lounge. Thursday was bagels and juice brought to each teachers room. The eighth graders rolled a cart around and served the staff. SCORE!!!!

Todd started his new job Monday. The days are longer because of the commute. He has probably added an extra 30 minutes to his drive, 15 minutes each way. So far so good. He did find out that Glendale does not have casual Fridays. BUMMER!! The health insurance is also more expensive. I think he will be much happier there. That's all that matters!! Friday he went to pick up his vacation pay out. When he quit he had 305 hours of vacation saved up!!!! The government got their cut a whooping 4, 896.64 I hate the government!!!!!!!! That's life though. I am happy to now have that 4,000 credit card balance paid off and have the truck paid down. We only owe 5,000 on the truck now. We have also put enough enough money back to cover the airfare for our trip to Disney World in January.

Tyler went back to the orthodontist on Thursday. He is progressing well. He did say that we need to turn Tyler 10 more times. He still is not quite wide enough. Each turn is 1 10th of a millimeter I believe is what he said. Next month when we go back he will give us a referral to have 2 teeth pulled. They need to go to continue the progress.

Today is our neighborhood block party. It from 2-4. Who picked this time??? Could they have picked any hotter of a time? NO!! More butt sweat I guess.

Todd is at my mom's helping old Larry do the roof on her house. Todd is not the roofer type and Larry is 61. They both might die today.

That is about the funniest thing I've heard! I'm excited to hear you are going 2 Disney World. I haven't been there for 13 years. We had a great time though. Sounds like you really "LOVE" your job. ha ha...Todd got a new job? I knew he wasn't happy, but didn't think he would change jobs. Sounds like you are having a grand ole time. Grayci asks about you all the time. As a matter of fact, Mackay asked about you recently. He asked when you were coming back. He said he misses you too! We all do! I miss our conversations. Anyways, glad to hear from you and to see your blog!

Its pure hell at my school too! All out of control BRATS with no regard for anything! UGH. I keep reminding myself its almost over just so I can cope with it all.
Must be nice to have a school that appreciates their staff. You know what we got - a pack of gum and cookies! Whoot! Thanks a freaking lot! Oh well, had an interview at my kid's new school that we'll be at next year - looks like I've got the job! Whoot!
