Back to school

April 22nd, 2009 by Renae

Well, Spring Break ended and we came back to school on Monday.  My week started off busy and isn’t going to get any less busy.  Monday was 95 degrees and I was on playground so needless to say I was hot.  I ended up staying all day at work because they needed a sub for a k-5 nap room.  Also on Monday I was asked to sub in k-4 on Tuesday and Wednesday.  

On Tuesday I subbed from 10:30-12:00 after that I did my normal k-5 nap room from 12:05-12:35 and then I headed into Chino Hills to get my allergy shots.  It was warm on Tuesday also, 85 degrees.  The heat had me feeling a little sick so I enjoyed the a/c all evening.  Tuesday night instead of cooking dinner we headed to the mall to eat at Baja Fresh.  I had gotten a gift card for my birthday.

 Today I woke up to an overcast sky.  I was heading into sub from 8:00-12:00 in k-4.  It has been a good day so far.  I just laid the kids down for nap time.  It is nice to have peace and quiet for a little bit.  At 12:05 I am going in to do my normal k-5 nap room and then I am done for the day.  We have church tonight so i will only have a few hours at home.

Tomorrow so far is a normal day with teacher breaks from 9:00-10:20 and playground duty from 11:00-12:05 and then the normal k-5 nap room from 12:05-12:35.  After that I am free for the rest of the day.  

Friday is a totally different story.  I have my normal work hours (same as Thursday) then I am subbing in a k-4 class from 2:00-2:30 and then the school has Spring Festival starting at 3:00-8:00.  On top of that, we have a ladies meeting at 7:00.  I will be at the school all day and it will be a busy one.  :)  I don’t mind busy days or weeks, it is nice to be able to serve the Lord, impact the lives of children and add a little money to my paycheck.  

On Monday, James and I had a blessing.  James’ phone died, like not just messed up, but wouldn’t even turn on at times.  So on Monday we went to purchase a new phone for him.  I had been teasing him about getting the new one and he taking my old one. :)  Well, we went to Ryan Thomas’ AT&T store and James picked out a Samsung Propel.

As Ryan is finalizing the transaction he looks at James and says, “these phones are buy one get one free right now.”  So I got a new phone since we were already paying for James’  Isn’t the Lord good?  I am really liking the new one.  It has a full keyboard so I am having to get use to that, but I don’t mind. :)  

On Saturday, we have to get my allergy shots in the morning, a youth activity (Iron Chef) in the afternoon, and a young marrieds activity in the evening.  So our day is full.  Maybe I will get to breathe on Sunday. :)

Hope you are all having a good week!

    I am not sure about all the details. All the teens are split into teams. I know that each teen pays $5 and then they go shopping and purchase all the things they need to make a four course meal. They are given a special ingredient that they have to use in all four courses that they make. They have a time limit and have to bring all the courses back to the church and we have a wonderful dinner and they judge each others dishes. We use church members kitchens. I have never actually been at one, but i am excited. :) Matt could give you more details, but I will most likely blog about it afterwards.
