This week has been a roller coaster ride...

Monday wasn't too bad.  Mostly boring.  I did the usual wake up, watch TLC, find something to eat, then continue to watch TLC kind of thing.  I did however add a fun twist to my day.  I took a shower and went to the furniture store to meet Katie.  We ate some lunch and talked with Laura for awhile.  Afterwards, we went to Wal*Mart to do some grocery shopping.  We then parted ways and I went back to my routine of watching TLC and waiting for Patrick to get off work.  However, the night guy at the mill called in sick, so Patrick had to stay late.  He didn't end up leaving work until 2 a.m.  Poor guy.  Boo. :(  So, I did my homework and went to bed.

Tuesday was a lot different.  I was sleeping at 6:30 a.m., like any normal person, and the phone started ringing.  I was very groggy so it took a minute for me to realize that the phone was actually ringing.  When I answered it the person asked for me and my Mom responded, "Hold on."  I stated that I was on the phone.  It was the secretary from the high school asking if I would like to substitute that day.  I gladly accepted, anything to get out of the house!! :)  I got to substitute teach for a kindergarten class!! They were adorable, well most of them.  The first hour was a little rough because the teacher couldn't get her lesson plan to go through on her e-mail.  After an hour it finally went through and I was able to salvage the day.  So, it went pretty well for being a last minute call.  After school I came home and took a nap.  When I woke up I watched some TLC and waited for Patrick to get off work.  Again the night guy was sick, but this time Patrick only had to stay until 9 p.m.  While I was waiting for Patrick the phone rang.  It was the high school secretary again.  She had 5 more subbing jobs available for me, SWEET!!  After Patrick showered he drove to my house and then we went to town to do some shopping.  No, not the fun shopping. :/  We got some groceries for the meal that we were going to cook on Wednesday and some toiletries.  We then got some dinner at Wendy's.  When we got back to my house we just watched some t.v. and cuddled, aw. :)  He left around 11:30 because he had to get up around 7 the next morning to go back to work.

On Wednesday I called Patrick to make sure that he was up and then I went back to sleep for 2 hours.  I only had to do a half day of subbing so when I woke up I put a load of laundry in, ate lunch, switched the laundry, took a shower, and then headed to go sub for an elementary school music class.  It wasn't bad at all.  The teacher had a very organized lesson plan and all the materials were right there on his desk.  When I left the building I had two voicemails, one from my cousin and one from Mom.  Mom's was about brake pads for the van, very boring stuff.  My cousin wanted to know if she could borrow Patrick's camera charger.  So, I called her back and we arranged to meet at 7:30 that evening.  After school I came home and took another nap, I love naps! :)  When I woke up I started to make dinner.  I also made some noodles that go very well with the sauce.  When I had all of the prep work done I went to meet my cousin.  On my way home Patrick told me that he was on his way over.  When he walked in the door he had to wait a few minutes for the kabobs to get done.  ( I decided to broil them in the oven instead, because standing outside grilling didn't really appeal to me.)  It was tough for Patrick to wait because he was starving, he worked a 12 1/2 hour day.  The meal was delicious.  We watched our show with Mom, Numbers.  Afterwards we cuddle some more, aw. :)  Then, we said our goodbyes around 11:30 again.

Today, I woke up at 7 and called Patrick to make sure that he was up too.  Today I had to substitute for the same teacher as yesterday, but it was all day.  He starts his day out at the middle school in the band room.  At 9:30 a.m. I got to leave and went to the elementary school for the rest of the day.  Band wasn't too bad.  The kids were overall pretty well behaved, for middle schoolers.  Music class was pretty fun.  Elementary school kids are way better than middle schoolers.  I'm starting to get used to working at the elementary school.  Kids and teachers will wave to me and say hi because they know me, it's pretty cool. :)  After school today I came home and.... NOPE I didn't nap.  I actually started some laundry, did the dishes, and took out the recycling.  I also decided that I'm probably going to kill my brother tonight.  Last night he was acting like a total jerk.  He's a big bad senior this year, so he's very cocky and annoying.  He was saying things like, "When I'm 21 I won't be living here anymore" and "Why don't you get a job?"  He was just being downright rude to everyone in the house.  I can't wait for karma to come back around and bite him in the a$$.  Today when I got home I found him lounging on the couch.  Then when I started doing the dishes he came into the kitchen, I thought maybe he'd offer to help.  Nope.  Instead he decides to dirty some more dishes.  I mean, what does he care?  He hasn't done a load of laundry or dishes for a month now.  Then, he opens some mail that's addressed to him.  In one envelope he sees that his CD has matured and will be available for him to cash in the middle of February. So, he starts bragging about how much it is and how he'll go by himself a new laptop.  In the other envelope he finds a refund check from Ivy Tech.  Now, my Mom paid for our school and books this semester, so that money is actually hers. He wasn't going to tell her about it, he was just going to take it to the bank and cash it for himself.  I called Mom to let her know that she had a check waiting for her at home.  He proceeded to call me a tattle tail and said that if I would have kept my mouth shut I could have gotten half of it.  So, between him being a lazy good-for-nothing piece of crap and his cockiness I've about had it with him.  If I had the money and a steady job, I would move out in a heartbeat.

So this is where I'm at in life.  Now I think I'm going to go fold some laundry and do a little bit of homework.  Peace out, girl scout.
