Work is going well and packing is going even better though I’m running low on boxes right now. We got a new baby at the day care this week. She’s three months old and just the tiniest cutest little thing. She’s got the sweetest disposition too. I sat her in her bouncer this morning in front of the television and she watched the entire Sesame Street show without moving. She cooed and made noises at the television. It was way cute. Of course, I forgot all my “baby” do’s and don’ts over the past few years. I fed her a bottle and then burped her… over my shoulder. Yep, you guessed it, puke all the way down my back. UGH! But it was worth it because I am totally enjoying caring for an infant again. The crying baby is still there and as jealous as can be over the new infant. She screams as loud as she can for HOURS unless you hold her. 8 months old and spoiled rotten. WOW can you say headache? I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.
It looks like Chris & I will be heading into school next week. Becca brought home her journalism journal yesterday and as I was glancing through it I noticed the teacher is having them write “quotes of the day”. Every quote is either a “God” reference or a verse from the bible. With everything he’s already pulled off, this is UNACCEPTABLE! This guy is a total nut job. Becca informed me that one of her friends already had her parents up there last week to complain (the one who’s cousin is rotting in hell) and rumor has it the 6th grade Vice Principal already had a talk with this guy but apparently it’s not working as he’s still pulling the same crap this week. We’ve put it off long enough, this has got to stop.
The next few weeks are getting more and more chaotic. I’ve spent the last hour trying to re-arrange my schedules for other important “things”. The weekends just keep filling up and there is no stopping it! May 3rd is our first free weekend as of right now. SHOOT ME PLEASE!
The house is still not sold and I’m still getting “crack head” phone calls to rent this place. $800 is a steal for this area. You can’t even get a good apartment at that price. I wish we could raise the price, just a little to ease our minds. If someone moves in and destroys the place we are so totally screwed. I am so not ready to rent this house out. PLEASE SOMEONE BUY THIS HOUSE!!!
Cookie sales are almost over and now we’re at the point of constantly reminding the parents to turn in their money. We’ve got a handful of cookies left and one booth left scheduled for next weekend so I think we’ll be set this year. No screw ups!! WOO HOO! Nickelodeon Hotel… here we come…uh – woo hoo?
TWO HOURS LATER…
I am so angry; I can’t wait until Chris gets home because we are definitely heading up to Becca’s school to speak to someone in charge. Becca spent her time in journalism NOT taking notes on how to be a journalist but taking notes on the garbage her nutcase of a teacher was spouting off about Christians. Here’s a few of her notes:
Teacher says, “I just received a note from an old student saying that she used to shun those who believed in GOD but now she believes in the lord and is getting her own bible.” He then tells the children that he was sorry for being late to class today as he had to stop and pray after reading the note.
When he speaks of the lord the children need to focus on the words. He wants to prepare them for Judgment day, because he’s a good Christian and his job is to tell everyone about GOD. If you believe and follow him you will go to heaven, if you don’t you will go to hell. He wants them all to go to heaven and he’d be disrespectful to people if he didn’t inform everyone he meets about the lord. We are all children of God.
A true Christian does not slam things down your throat; they are there to basically introduce you to Christianity.
NOW, tell me what the hell any of this has to do with JOURNALISM!!!! This is bullshit and it must be stopped! I have not enrolled my daughter into a “magnet school for the academically gifted” for her to sit through BIBLE STUDY and/or Church to learn journalism. This man has totally lost focus on the curriculum he’s supposed to be using. I did not raise Becca to have to deal with this mess being shoved down her throat and THAT is exactly what this man is doing. If Becca wants to read the bible, then she may read the bible and decipher it on her own. I don’t want someone else to give her their thoughts and opinions. If the time comes and she decides Christianity is what she wants to believe in then Chris and I will accept that and if she decides to become an atheist or anything in between, well, that’s her choice too. I won’t have her forced, scared or bullied into believing anything. I’m so tired of this crap. This guy needs to keep the church and his beliefs out of the classroom.
Ahh, another day shot to hell….
