Whew!

I actually made it to the end of the school year. I was so excited to leave and check out it never really registered to me that MY FIRST YEAR OF TEACHING IS ACTUALLY OVER! I'm a little sad about it but it will be nice to not be the newbie next year. I just hope that I get a bigger classroom and that I can be next to my fellow 6th grade math teachers. I'll keep you posted on that. Up next: a trip to Eagar to hang out with my sisters then a full week of Josh before he starts his new job! I'm glad summer is here... although I hate the heat!

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I hope that I can survive the last three days of school.

2. The truth is... I am so thankful that Josh is okay after his accident. I don't know what I would do without him!

3. The truth is... looking at the car that Josh was driving makes me sick. I want to post a picture but it is on Josh's cell phone. I need someone with a phone that has email access so they can get the picture as a text then email it to me!

4. The truth is... Josh's boss was actually nice and just told him to not work there anymore. Saturday was supposed to be his last day. Now instead of having a week off he has 1 1/2 weeks off!

5. The truth is... Jack Jack has some major mood swings. He will be really hyper and excited in the morning then really moody and sad at night. Josh says he gets the mood swings from me.

Considered Lucky

Okay, so I guess car accidents are not really lucky but I like to think that today, it was lucky. Josh was on shuttle at work and he was in an accident. When I first got the word I was a (more) than a little worried. I was in meetings all afternoon and I had an "unknown" call on my cell phone. I ignored it because I didn't know who it was. After my meeting I listened to my voice messages and it was a police officer in Mesa. Josh had been in an accident. I called back and he told me where Josh was headed. He was in an ambulance and on his way to Scottsdale. He had major head trauma (which I assumed was bad) and was really worried. I didn't want to comprehend what was happening. I threw everything down on my desk and left. I called my dad crying and went to his work (because its close) and he drove me to the hospital. It was the longest and scariest drive EVER! The cat scan results were okay. He does have a fractured clavicle so he cannot drive, but that is okay. He is doing a lot better and is now home (thank heaven) and I do consider ourselves lucky for a few reasons.

1. Since he was at work, workers comp. should cover everything. That is awesome since he has no insurance... although he should because he passed his probation period at work.

2. A school bus hit him. There was no children on the bus... which is good.

3. Josh was not at fault.. the bus was.

4. This is my largest reason: If the bus would have hit any closer I would no longer have my best friend with me.

After all that has happened I cannot help but be thankful for the Lord's hand in everything that has happened. I know it stinks but he knew that I couldn't imagine my life without my dear sweet husband. He really is amazing.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I don't know if I can survive the LAST 8 DAYS of the school year. It's going to be tough.

2. The truth is... I'm debating if I should go up and visit Karen over Memorial Day weekend. My other sisters are going but I can't decide if I should or not.

3. The truth is... I'm totally excited because Karen and her family is going to stay at my house when they come down this weekend. Jack Jack is excited too!

4. The truth is... I'm finished with my SEI class that I started after spring break. I don't know what to do with myself now and I only finished on Saturday!

5. The truth is... Josh gets to work the day shift when he starts his new job. That makes me really happy! I will actually get to see him. The only problem is that he is working Sundays. He said that he either has to get that changed or not work for them. We both agree that nights is better than Sundays.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... projects at the end of the school year is not a good thing. Students go crazy. I guess that I am going to have to go back to notes. Darn... so much for having fun.

2. The truth is... Josh got a new job. It pays more so that is really exciting.

3. The truth is... once Josh starts his new job in June, I'm probably never going to see him. His shift will most likely be from 3 (yes PM) to 10 (or 12) PM. Yes, that sucks.

4. The truth is... I got my contract for next year! As of right now I'm making the same amount (Although it will probably drop.)

5. The truth is... I've started buying stuff for my awesome craft summer! If you want to join me let me know! You are more than welcome to come over and hang out and do some awesome crafts! I know I can't wait!

Its over

Well, its official. Josh and I have finished Fablehaven. It's a little depressing to think it is over. What a great series! The last book was intense but it ended really weird. It leaves you hanging but in a good way. I just wish there was more! Now on to a new book.... The Maze Runner by James Dashner.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I had the flu last night. I still wasn't feeling great this morning but I had to go to school because getting a sub is a pain in the rear!

2. The truth is... my students had their final district test today. The numbers are not as scary as they look.

3. The truth is... I had about 35 of my students meet their goal for MAPS testing. I now have to figure out something to do for them. Any ideas?

4. The truth is... Josh might actually be done fixing up cars and reselling them for a better price. It was nice money but he doesn't have much extra time and they are not having much success.

5. The truth is... I hate the summer. Heat + Emily= a lot of sweat. I hate it... come back winter!

Thoughts

To be 100% honest, I don't even know how I want to start this post. I don't want to sound completely pathetic, but I've been thinking a lot lately. Well, I've been thinking a lot today as I try to do some stuff for school and trying to go grocery shopping and try to get things organized around the house. Let's be honest. I love the weekends because I get to sleep in (at least until 7:30 AM) and work around the house. I love it! Although it will be an adjustment when I stay home with the kids, I know that it is the place for me so I don't mind. However, I don't like the weekends because Josh and I don't have much to do. We would hang out with friends but honestly we don't really have any. We still talk to a couple of friends from high school but we don't have much in common. It sucks. I try talking to them and I ask about their lives but it doesn't go much farther. Yes, I guess that counts us as losers. Those that I work with are really cool and I'm friends with them, but they are at least 10 years older than me and Josh so doing something with them is almost out of the question.
I guess it doesn't help much that everyone that I possibly encounter at some point in time it at a completely different stage in life than me and Josh. Does that make sense? I KNOW THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER. To be honest, it kind of does. Those that have kids, all they talk about is their kids. Sometimes it makes me annoyed because sometimes I want to talk about something else. Those that don't have kids are college students. Is that a problem? No, except that most of the time they don't know what it is like to work full time and not go to school. Grrr.... finding good friends can be annoying! It's too complicated. I've been wanting to do a murder mystery dinner but I'd have to find other couples. How can I find couples when I don't have friends? I guess for now I'll be staying at home with Josh watching Greek on the weekends. I'm okay with it, but a change in pace would be nice sometimes.
