Upgrades and Accidents

Our weekend started off with a BANG! Literally. I was going to a conference on Friday and floored it out of the garage right into he side of Jared's truck... I only broke my tail light. The truck on the other hand... will need 2 new doors. Opps! Jared was very calm and un "curtis" like to my surprise. he "wasn't mad at me, but pissed it happened" The conference was really good and useful! Then I met Liz and Heather at Nate's for some boiled Crawfish! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! We decided my birthday party this year will be a crawfish boil.

Saturday I went to Lauren and Clint's new house to help paint (before clint could tell us no) We painted LC's closet Pink and the Laundry Slime Green. And they BOTH (surprisingly) look great!


Sunday with church with sugar and big curtis then Pappadeoux for lunch (more crawfish...)

Today was a crappy adult day. I love teaching but I had a student saying very inappropriate things to me in and out of school and the parents said it was Me misinterpreting it! I guess its because I don't have kids and my parents weren't like that so I don't understand the "defend them to the death" attitude. But its frustrating that as teachers, we work so hard to not only teach the content to the kids but take an active interest in their lives, education and well being. We try to make them better humans and all the parents and outside world do is wait and carefully watch for a weakness to attack. Then after school was a meeting with another kids lawyer for the custody battle they are in the middle of. I can't imagine being 15 and going through something like that. My adolescence was far from ideal but it was my issues I was dealing with, not school, parents etc. But the day is over now. Its 720 and I am just home from the day. I went to the gym and it was harder than normal... i tripped 3 times on the stupid treadmill and almost busted! Then I went to tan. AHHHH tanning. its a personal vice/ addiction. Its so relaxing. I know its bad for my skin but it makes me calm and feel skinner!
