| Oh ok its been seriously over 4 months since I last used xanga. Mainly due to Myspace and the fact that I dont have a lot of time to use the computer for much more then work for my job and the neverending paperwork I am responsible for. Speaking of the job this is the reason on my newest xanga entry. I need a time to vent. Not to a person that can give me feed back but a way to vent with no response or imput. Something that always agrees with your thoughts and feelings. So I started my job back in December (the 13th to be exact) I truly enjoy my job but at times I feel like I am working my butt off for no reason. Please fail to remember that I am a first year teacher who got hired into the school half way through the school year. I didnt start off like normal I didnt even go to have any input in my own schedule and simple stuff like that. This past month has truly been a test from the Lord. At times I feel like I am totally failing myself, others and him. I feel like no matter how hard I try and no matter how hard I work it doesnt seems to matter. I contine to have to prove myself to my bosses and other teacher. Yes I understand that this should be expected seeing that I am the new kid on the block. But seriously give me a break. I am the youngest teacher on staff. The teacher that is near my age is still almost 4 years older then me. I just want to shake people and say to them yes I am younger then all of you but that doesnt mean that I am stupid or any less of a great teacher. I am a adult too. Hello if you have a issue with me talk to me about it person to person. You dont always need to run and ask the bosses about it.Cause once again I look like the moron. Yet even when I can prove them wrong it doesnt truly seem to matter. So for all of you that have realized that I am a bit stressed out in reading this. YES I am stressed. There are only 8 days of school left. I have report cards to do. Two sets of forms to do and 7 other peices of paperwork to correct and update. You know that old saying what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger...? Well I cant help but wonder what if you kill your sprint in the process of becoming stronger? What is the light of passion you once had burns out...then what? Hey God wheres my map for getting through this? | | |
| The state of our union is strong. I dont know if many of you watch President Bush's State of the union address tonight. I dont know how many of you feel about President Bush as a leader of the USA. I dont know how many of you voted in the elections last time around. And I dont know if many of you consider yourself to be a democrate or republican. I dont know if you support the No Child Left Behind Act, The War or anything else going on in the world. But I would like to share this thought with all of you. President Bush is the leader of the FREE world. He was VOTED into office by AMERICAN citizen. He is a man of GOD trying his best to help lead a WHOLE NATION. After 9-11 many people where for going to war to defend our honor. Now 5 years later people are up in arms about still being overseas and in war. But have you ever noticed that they people that are doing all the complaining about the war are the ones sitting on their butts at home. The real heros, the men and women over there fighting arent complaing yes they admitt to missing their families but they are there DEVENDING our FREEDOMS and our LIFES. You dont have to agree with the Presidents views and actions but you also have to stop and think, dont you think being the President is a stressful and very hard job for a man, a human to do. I couldnt help but be moved by his comments about the different day to day americans that have been amazing examples of love and compassion in the USA. Such as the man who jumped into the subway line to help save another mans life. So in closing.... before you go getting upset about the Presidents comments, actions and decisions stop and think....ISN'T THIS ALL IN GODS HANDS ANYWAYS? I AM POSITIVE HE CAN HANDLE ALL THIS. | | |
| I am super duper excited. My brother comes home tomorrow. He doesnt even know it yet. I called the base tonight and this lady told me that at 3:00 am tomorrow Bradley will be given a ticket to come home. It could be by bus or plane. I really hope plane personally. All I know is that I am sad that my mom and dad wont get to see him untill Saturday when we pick them up from the airport. They are cruising the Mexican Rivera right now.
Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE. I know that this is a very happy thanksgiving for me and my family.
I guess the saying is true you never know how much you miss something ( or someone ) untill they are gone.

| Well its been a freakin long time since I wrote anything in the dang internet arena so here it goes.
Since the last post I no longer am teaching in Northville. I am once again working for Wayne Westland Schools and Livonia Schools and new to the mix I now work for Plymouth Canton Schools. Everyday a new school, with a new classroom full of new adventures.
So today was a day that I took off work for a personal day. I did all my christmas shopping and with mom and dad headed off for their cruise and Bradley still in MO, I got all my gifts wrapped and everything. :) I know I am crazy but I am glad to have it done.:)
Anyways Bradley should be home next week hopefully by Thanksgiving. Maybe even Monday:) I miss him sooo much. I am glad hes coming home...
Well I guess thats all. Seeing that its just me and the dog this week I better figure out what I am eating for dinner.
Later- AMG

I will be there till the end of October for sure. Other then that I dont have much for information because Wayne Westland still needs to send a copy of my finger prints. But hey I am super excited. This is totally a foot in the door. What a great birthday present.(my birthday is this Saturday). Whoo Hoo.
