Welp...I got my grade back on my super-long paper, and it was only a 99. I'm pretty sure I deserved waaaaay less, but it pays to interact with your class and have a good rapport with your professor because it makes a huge difference.
On Friday I worked at N's middle school where I ran into so many baseball players and friends. There were a lot of teachers out that day, but I was right next door to one of N's teachers from last year, and she and I have become quite friendly...partially out of necessity and partially because we're hilarious. The embarrassment factor is just an added bonus! She has several familiar faces in her classes this year, so I hope she asks me to sub for her sometime in the future...just not on Tuesdays and Thursdays, even IF Thursday is the only day her son can get an eye appointment. But I'm not bitter or anything. :)
Anyway, the teacher I subbed for teaches math, which is (admittedly) not my favorite subject at all. But then I realized she teaches 6th grade math, and that's BLOCK math, which means she has 2 classes of 6th grade math and BOTH of those classes are two class periods long. Holy. Moly. I had a break between with a 30 minute group of 7th graders for "E-time" and a 7th grade math class of literally 10 students. It was more fun than I expected.
Afterward, I picked B up from school and we zoomed across town to babysit for some of our favorites: C, J, & LM! This was a monumental day for me because it's the first time LM has been awake and hanging out with us. She just came home from China over the summer, and I've babysat for the older two in the evenings, but she's already been in bed or been going to bed. This time, we got to spend 3 hours together before her bedtime. Y'all? She's a hoot! I mean...she gets the giggles and NOBODY can keep a straight face. C & J were at a birthday party, so B and I got to spend some solid LM time playing cars and running around and giggling. All the giggles!
When the big kids got home, we played some more and watched a little Cars2, and then it was time for sweet LM to go to bed. I literally changed her diaper, put her pjs on her, and rocked her while I sang and she drank a bottle of milk...and she said "nigh nigh" and went into her bed without a peep!
C and I read a funny book while the boys played, and then they were in bed! I can't wait to be back there on Wednesday! And then, it's just me and sweet LM on Friday for a few hours! It will be awesome!
These kids...I've talked about them before, but I adore them. I've known C since she was about 6 months old, and she'll be 8 in February! B didn't even realize J was in Kindergarten this year...and when J mentioned something about his class, B said, "You're in SCHOOL?! That just blew my mind!"
The rest of the weekend has been so, SO lazy. We spent all day at home on Saturday doing nothing but taking naps and watching tv. It was glorious! When we went to bed around midnight on Friday, we slept until almost 11:00 and it was so needed. Even with that, I was in bed at 10:00 on Saturday night (I told the boys to go to bed by midnight), and slept until 9:30 this morning. We did the 11:30 church service, and then N went to spend a few hours with his dad while B and I relaxed at home...and by "relaxed at home" I mean B played Xbox and I FINALLY caught up on my dvr.
I watched Dead Poets Society, and I can't even talk about all the feels today. Maybe tomorrow. I'm still sniffling, and I fully maintain that the ONLY reason I teared up watching the Descendants (Disney Channel TV movie...yeah, I know) is because I was still emotional from Mr. Keating and "Oh, Captain, My Captain!"
Insert watery sigh here.
Aubs
