For Emily!

What in the world would I do without Emjay! I really, really do want to get better at this blog thing. If not for anyone else, or myself, for Emjay. It's always for Emjay!  :)

Let's see ... I feel like all my blogs are updates on my life. I guess that just means I should update more frequently so that I don't have to do these apologies about forgetting my blog and a lengthy life update.  But for now ... here's my apology and my lengthy life update.

Married life is an adjustment, to say the least. There's is twice the laundry to do, twice the amount of dishes to wash, twice the amount of hormones to control and get used to, twice the mess to pick up, twice the opinion to consider. It's not all fun and games folks. There are days when I realize I don't even kiss my husband until it's time for bed! 

But married life also means twice the laughter, twice the silliness, twice the sweet memories. Someone to watch movies with whenever you want, someone to sleep closest to the bedroom door to make you feel like you're protected, someone to eat dinner with, someone to dance with in the kitchen. Yes, I would recommend married life to anyone. 

I still have no teaching position as of yet so I am subbing to make money and get into the school system. Let me just tell you ... subbing is not glamorous. At all. There are two things I have put on the pro side for substituting. One: I get to see many, many different classrooms and steal many, many ideas! Two: I just get to go home when the kids get on the bus. No meetings, no grading, no lesson plans. 

But on the other hand ... I have to be mean sometimes. Kids are crazy. They will try to take advantage of anyone. I feel like subbing will give me some crazy thick skin for when I get my own classroom. Just keep me away from those dern 6th graders!

Alright. That's enough for one night. Plus, it's quickly approaching my bedtime. I'm such an old lady. Time to eat my "midnight" snack of grilled cheese and watch some 'Parks and Recreation' with the hubs. 

Until next time ...   :)

Oh man. That was good. I am glad that you're doing well and that you've been able to work as a sub. And I would think that 8th graders would be worse than 6th graders. Are you subbing at all for high school? I hope so. (;
