Is Anyone Listening?

Not you guys, I'm pretty sure you're out there hanging on my every word...wait, you are out there aren't you???? No I mean my students. I try to explain to them about responsibility and owning their work and their journey toward a degree and I swear they just look at me like I had three heads! Ugh, it's so frustrating sometimes!!! Then again, today I found out that part time teachers like me don't have a job spring semester due to lower needs. So sad! But I'm working toward getting a full time position and now that I have some campus connections maybe I'll find something to do next term. Even with all my bitching I do love being there and teaching. And the extra good news is that I gave back 150 papers today so my book bag is much lighter and my scooter doesn't have to work nearly as hard!


I'm on the lookout for the "hoochie of the day" on campus, you know the girl who looks like she will need a street corner rather than a degree for her profession. Usually I see at least one but today the weather was cooler so I really didn't see much of interest. When Russ dropped me off we did see a girl with tight capri length jeans, a tight T shirt and high heeled booties(shoes) but that was fairly mild compared to hot days. But fear not, I will maintain a vigilant watch! 


Yesterday we went to Target to prepare for Camden's arrival, we were such grandparents,lol. We bought a pack and play(folding crib sort of thing), towels, washcloths, a blanket and some toys. I would have bought more but Russ talked me down,haha! 


Okay well dinners here so I'm eating
Love you

  1. LMAO....."hoochie of the day".....that's awesome. Can I quote that on FB and say how awesome of a stepmother you are?

    I'm so sorry to hear that you won't be able to teach next semester :( But you're right, at least you have your foot in the door and that's the important thing. They know you now and they know you're a good teacher, I'm sure something will come up really soon :)

    YAY! I can't wait to see pictures of when they come down. How long will they be in town?
