Busy Life.

Whew... i am feeling very overwhelmed with everything right now. Today i subbed for special ed at palo verde elementary, and it went fine, i had a little free time in the afternoon, so that was good, i read from the ensign (i have to read 30 more pages before tomarrow mornings breakfast..) and then some kids showed up, with nothing to do, and i had nothing for them to do, so i read to them, and then gave them a math worksheet, and then they told me i had to go to room B5 so the aid took over, so i went to B5 to find ms. underwood (the principal) in there with mrs. parzych, this very pregnant special ed teacher for students more than 2 years behind their grade level, and i guess that is the long term sub position they were asking me last night if i was interested in, so i guess i am doing it, it might start this coming monday, it was not supposed to start until the middle of april i thought. so wow. a lot sooner than i thought. and so for like an hour or more i was just in with the teacher, and walking around the school looking for her students with her (i was compeltely lost, it was a field trip today and i was just following her..)so then we came back to the classroom and she very quickly went over lesson plans and that (she will be gone SIX weeks) and i was kinda stunned. i dont really remember much of the million things she was ratteling off , there was just TOO MUCH !!!! too much to handle! way too much to process. at first i tried to keep up, but the more she kept piling on, the harder it got to remember, and things started blurring together... and by the end i just sort of had nothing to say. i didnt know what questions i would have , and i just felt very overwhelmed. these students (which many of whom she has expressed can be a handful) will be with me all day, i pick them up at 8:20, and i teach them all subjects.. wow. thats a lot to take in. her lesson plans arnt REAL detailed. they have a list of approximatly what time things go on, and what the activity or worksheet or whatever is called. i didnt even go over all that .. she briefly would point to where the materials were in the room, but again.. blurr...i feel like all this stuff just kept heaping up and up, and now its all falling off. and then there is school, i decided i think i will start school may 1st to be an aestetician , doing facials and laser hair removal, that sort of thing, and so i will go up to chandler every day for that. so until then i will be doing this long term subbing. EVERYDAY! so i will be very busy. so then there is another x factor, foster care. i have about decided not to do it. because the training is starting next week and goes for 10 weeks, every saturday, that really takes up a lot of time. and then will i have energy and time for a foster baby? i will be going to school all day, and then probably working as a tech until i can work as an aestetician at the office from like 3-7 pm, from like, well school is may-sept, and then i would be a tech just as soon as the office opens probably. so that is sort of hectic... i will be exhausted when i get home, when am i even going to work out? and art? im gona be swamped. right now im just subbing from 7:30-3:30 and im tired when i get home. so....SO MUCH GOING ON!! and then in the midst of all that, we are trying for a baby of our own, if theres anyone here who didnt know. so THATS whats going on. right now in my head ther e are a million things floating... i was going to work out with audrey today, but her foot hurts i guess, and i had to go pay the water bill anyways, and then check on another bill (that i paid but forgot), and then call the doctors office about a bill but they are closed. and i had to try to get ahold of GLoria at Artistic Beauty College to make an appt for aestetician school , and i have to do the enrollment appt and the financial aid appt in the same day because since i am a long term sub i cant just take days off all the time, i am expected to work everyday... Whew. i feel a little better now. i better go read that ensign before tomarrow. and im helping camie plan a surprise birthday party for her husband Rhett next week, oh an tomarrow we are going with the new members to see the new Joseph Smith video and ice cream... Anyways. thats whats going on... Talk to ya later!!
