The week seemed to drag on but was fast at the same time. Is that even possible. It was the first time in three weeks that we had a full 5 day school and work week. This week I did not go to the gym; part of me is mad at myself but the other part is okay with it. I stayed away from sweets until Saturday. I had to take Teddy to a friends house that was 30 minutes away. I decided I was going to stop at the soda shop. I really wanted a refresher, which is just crystal light and some syrups, I should have gotten the sugar free syrups but I got the regular.
I was proud of myself for not getting a pretzel or a cookie
but when I got home I decided to call one of the families whose kid is in my primary
class at church. He has been having a hard time with church and school and his
behavior. I thought it would be nice to take him on a little one on one date.
His dad said he was excited but when I got there, he was being shy. We finally
left and went to dairy queen. I was going to get a non dairy dilly bar, which I
wanted to try but I got a mini blizzard and it was actually really tasty and I
was okay with it. The time with the kid was interesting, he smeared his ice
cream all over and kept putting his hair in it. I tried to help him calm down
but he was pretty crazy. I am not sure if I did any good by taking him out, but
I wanted the family to know that I cared for him. The whole group of kids were
off today in class; this particular boy was very hard to control. I wish that
my little outing was going to help him but it didn’t. So we shall see.
So, I had to sub all day on Thursday and that was
interesting. It is not something that I like to do; so the secretary at the
school knows that I am a last last option. Well she texted me at 7:30 and said
she could not find anyone else. It was for the second grade Chinese class; I
know the kids because I am with them everyday as a para on the English side. They
were okay but not the best. There were a few kids that were just not great. I
made it thru the day and was glad when it was over. I taught the kids math and
we did some mystery science. The kids liked it because they could talk in English,
normally by second grade the kids can only speak Chinese in the classroom. I
think it was nice for a break for a day. It felt like the day went forever
though since I was there 3.5 hours longer than I normally am, but we made it.
Friday, I played pickleball and it was interesting; we
normally have 4-6 people there, but most of the families weren’t available. I
was going to bring my girls to help watch some little boys while the parents played,
but they did not come; so I left the girls at home. One lady that plays with
us, brought her daughter and her husband; im glad we had a few more players but
they just beginners; I was still able to have a good time and get my heart rate
up and moving. I wish I could play everyday, its so much more enjoyable than
going and slamming it at the gym. I know this upcoming week I need to do good.
We only have one more week of school before a week off for spring break. I am
excited for the break. I wish I was going somewhere and didn’t have to worry
about friends but we are sticking around here.
So that’s it; thanks for sticking around!!!
