My life...

I wanted to share with you all some little known facts about my job as the after school hall monitor. (or bouncer)

Any child you talk to will automatically hate you.

Sometimes they challenge your authority or make excuses. Or call you racist.

Walking with the iPod makes things a lot more enjoyable.

Sometimes teachers think you are lost and will ask if you need help. (Haven't you seen me doing the exact same thing every day for the past 4 weeks?)

Snack time is fun only when they eat things that don't have crumbs.

cheese anyone?

Excuse me sir, would you like a block of cheese?

Today in my life...

a 12 year told me he was a couch potato.

a different 12 year old told me i was racist.

i went shooting guns. or i went gun shooting.

i made beans. Guatemala style. 

football and babies

football: the little brother. they won! its so much more exciting when they win. and the little brother is so much happier when he comes home.

babies: oh gosh. i keep saying it but. so tiny! and adorable. No i did not give birth. Sorry to disappoint. My friend had her second baby. (second baby. that is crazy. two. she has two) So i took a jaunt down to hold her. the baby that is. So little! She was so cute. and just slept the whole time. I think she opened her eyes maybe twice the whole time i was there. Love it.  Plus i got homemade tomato soup.

Currently...

it is 8:54.

I could have been in bed asleep at 8:02.

I am that tired.

I think dinner made it worse.

But instead I am pretending to write my essay...and listening to music.

hmm...

ugh. first essay since the mission. it was a killer.

the next one (which is longer and more awful) is due next week.

"the earth is probably 12,000 years old"

i almost fell asleep at work today. there was head bobbing.

i am excited for cold weather only if it means all these grasshoppers (hundreds. thousands?) will die.

squaw bread. its very tasty.

doings of the weekend.

It was a very loooong weekend. But a good loooong weekend. Not the bad kind. It began with Hailey and Jessica coming up for the 80's dance. (pictures found on facebook, well like 2) You could say we had a pretty good time. Gotta love the 80's. Saturday I did lots of things. ...like getting my haircut... and lots more things that I don't care to write about. Sunday I slept in really late. Sometimes I like 1:00 church and sometimes I don't. Last Sunday I liked it. Monday was...Tomato Days...dun dun dun...The parents got put in charge this year. So I was up at 6:30 and down at the park at 7:00 helping them. I left at like 9 that night. It was a crazy day but I enjoyed myself.

....so that was my weekend in a nutshell. I know you were all just dying to hear about my weekend so now you can stop dying.

I got another job! Did I tell you that already? I am going to the after school hall monitor. Yes, I know it sounds to thrilling to be true. But it is.

I'm pretty sure I had something else equally thrilling to tell you but I suppose it will have to wait for next time since I can't seem to remember what it was.
