I'm back... and no longer in a funk....

I know it has been a while since I last posted. Things have been a little crazy around here and between computer issues and just not having a whole lot of time, I just haven't been blogging.

This month, my husband and I celebrated our 7th anniversary and were able to get away for a couple of days to Vegas. We got out of there with a little more money than we arrived with so that was a bonus! We got back the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving, so the two days after were spent running around getting the stuff to make Thanksgiving dinner, then making the dinner, and eating the dinner! It was a lot of work, but it turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself!

Work has been pretty good, except I have discovered first hand that my boss is a heartless b***h who thinks she is perfect. It's a long story, but I ended up having to call my teacher's association to help me with the situation she has created. Actually, one thing that happened with her is kind of funny, and revealing at the same time. The other day she brought me a memo to attach to paperwork I had to turn in at the admin building (a note to cover her a**), and in it she repeatedly referred to me as Kellie Anderson. When I looked it over and then told her that she had mistakenly put my name as Kellie Anderson, she looked at me, and said, "Your name isn't Kellie?" I absolutely did not know what to say. The woman doesn't even know my last name, and that is the name we go by as teachers!! We have been in school for 4 MONTHS, and she hasn't managed to remember the names of her staff. Now, I don't know all the names of the teachers there, but I AM NOT the PRINCIPAL! And, to boot, there isn't even a Mrs. Anderson at the school, so it isn't as if she confused my name with another teacher! So, she can't remember my name, but there is no way that she misplaced a form, or forgot seeing it! No, she could never have done that!

Sorry for the rant, but it is so frustrating. Up until this week, I didn't really have any complaints about her, but had heard a lot from other people, so now I am experiencing it first hand and I do not like it at all.

I still like my class, my assistant is awesome, so if I can just avoid my principal for the rest of the year, things should be great!
