Christmas is coming

Well, last week I had a lot of time to worry about my lack of microwave (which was replaced with a new one, thank goodness.) This week I spent as a not-so-glorified baby-sitter for high schoolers. I subbed Friday through Friday for a math and computer programming teacher. Yeah, I’m super qualified for that. I remember some math from high school, but all I remember from computer programming was trying to get the groundhog as the top picture on photowar.com. Time well spent. That’s why I got a 1 on the AP test. Whatever, I was still an AP scholar or something like that. During these classes, I have caught up on my news. I really have nothing to do but walk around and periodically say, “It’s too loud!” I also ignore the cursing and try not to hear the conversations about things that are inappropriate for even me to talk about. I am a pretty passive aggressive sub. I can’t help it. If it was my own class, it would be different, but… ok, I’m just too nice. I really am. I let people use the bathroom whenever they want, sometimes I let them eat in class… I’m a bad sub. Well, not as bad as the sub who lets everybody listen to their ipods. Anyway, at least I am getting paid. That is exciting.

Even more exciting is that starting Saturday morning, I get to actually spend around two weeks with my husband. Yes, the man who works 12-14 hours a day and sometimes on the weekend. I say Saturday morning because he has duty tonight, which means sitting at the barracks making sure everybody is back by curfew and picking out any obviously drunk minors. I am going to bring him dinner, but he’ll be there from right after work until 8:00 the next morning. Then, we have to shop for wrapping paper, boxes, and a few more Christmas presents. After that, we have to clean the house for Josh and Connie, then have some fun, hopefully. Online colleges don’t stop for the holidays, and Austin’s final paper and all that are due on the 28th, so he has a lot of work to do and I will have to be pushy, which I hate. I would rather just enjoy the holiday and get presents. Actually, I am one of those people who really worries that everybody will dislike their presents and hate me. That’s rational, right? Well, until I write again, Happy Holidays

Hey! Don't worry about the subbing, if it were me I'd probably smack all of them and get fired after one day. And you haven't, so you should be proud of yourself! Haha, hope everything goes well with you over the holidays! :)
