Subbing, not a career...

It has been a while. I will try to catch you up on my oh so thrilling life.
Subbing has been full of great moments and not so great moments. Let me just say that a few times I have felt as though I was back in high school, b/c yes I have been in trouble as a sub. The kids are great, well sometimes. I often hear, "Are you the sub?" To which I quickly reply with a much deserved sarcastic remark like, "Do I look like your teacher?" or a "I bet you already know the answer" or my favorite, "Nope, just holding the door open for you." I have occasionally let the ole foot in mouth get me a few times as well. One time I asked 2 students if they were dating and they denied that and the class began harassing them, so I had to go a step further and ask if they were friends with benefits, why do I do things like that just leave it alone.
I am also coaching JV and assisting Varsity girls basketball at Southwest Christian High School in Ft Worth. I am loving almost every minute of being an eagle. I could not have hand picked a better group of girls. We were doing pretty well until district began, you know the games that count. They are young and they are learning. I have really enjoyed getting to know them aside from basketball and hearing all the boy drama as well as friend drama. It has been a great experience and I hope to continue this for a while.
Not to mention I am living with the parents, which pretty much speaks for itself.

well, since you shared the "friends with benefits comment" maybe next time you should ask if they are just getting some NCL (non-commital lip)!

Seriously, it is about time. Thanks for calling on my birthday. I know you are going to think I'm lying but we went to bed at 9:30. Blake has to get up every day at 3:45am so he tries to go to bed early. I don't have to get up until 7, but I LOVE sleeping. Please tell me you are going to Sing Song???

you know i kind of feel like i can relate to you on this whole girls coaching thing. i work w/ two girls who make KJK look rugged and humble. needless to say i get an ear full of the drama but it is more along the lines of how drunk they were and how bad they feel or how fat their butt is. i probably dont handle it as well as you would though.

nice huh
