I am so excited about the month of december. I am getting ready our Advent calendar for the class room as well as a whole month of advent related things. I have researched Hannukah and Kwanza, talked to my boss, and have everything ready to celebrate the top three religious ceremonies for the USA. Now if I could just get the two other two year old teachers off my back. They want to do everything I am doing, their own way, and want me to follow their way, while not doing anything at all. I have done all the researched, emailed them the stuff, printed a copy for myself and am all set. I get a text today about how they don't care for this advent calendar and want ME to find a new one... I'll be damned if I am going to find a new one. HAH!
I am also started a second blog on this account for my montessori stuff. I am going to keep Long Journey Home adoption related, and hopefully get some new content in here.
I haven't created the Montessori blog yet... I am giving that addy to my parents at school... and you are all welcome to read it as well and give ideas. I base all my teachings in my classroom off of homeschooling... and with it being a religious daycare I teach at, I will be bringing religion into the mix.
Enjoy.

It's been time enough
It's been time enough now I can look at this blog and smile. Adoption is on hold at the moment, and foreign adoption is looking bleaker, but alas, it will happen when it is time.
But, until then, I didn't want to abondon my blog completely... but I didn't know what to do with it. this is my adoption blog... it was never meant to be anything BUT my adoption blog... but now.. it's going to be an over all children blog.
I will still post questions and concerns about adoption I have, as well as bringing up other things. I teach preschool for heaven's sake... if nothing else I can give a little insight to how I teach as well as great things to do with your kids.
So, here's to hoping this blog becomes something greater than it's been since May... here's to hoping I can get on the ball!

Been a while
Been a while since I posted anything... why? I dunno. I haven't posted on any of my blogs lately. I suppose I need to get with it eh?
Life is going okay. Getting ready for prek graduation.. where the 2's will sing 4 songs and then the 3's and pre-k will sin ga few songs together and then the pre-k will sing a few songs all by theirself. I am so excited because 3 of the songs we are singing we are signing as well. I have been using Signing Time! for over 3 years now and I am excited to say that it has worked amazingly!
I dunno what else to blog about at this point. I suppose I need to start blogging about such things as what I know about childcare... who knows.. perhaps someone will come round and read it someday! lol.

It's been a while
and I doubt I have any readers left... if I had any in teh first place.
A lot has changed and time is flying by.
I am still pursuing the dream of adopting a child from Russia.
A lot has changed and hopefully I will be able to catch up blogging! I still read daily the blogs I love adn have added so many to my list (mostly from Debbie's side bar! She is a wealth of blogs!).

Been a long while
I dunno.. I don't know wha tot say here righ tnow.
I have signed up for fost/adopt placement classes.. whcih should be interesting...
Works been a whole lot of suckage... I have an autistic kid, a sensory disorder kid and a FAS kid... which makes my days very hard to organize and schedule.. and I enjoy organization and a routine in my classroom. today alone I was bit, hit, kicked, smacked, scratched and called every curse word in the book by my FAS kid. His log book that I keep on his day is VERY long today... as all day he was a problem (and sadly he goes to school for 4 hours a day!). I just felt like sitting down and crying today... tha'ts how bad it was.
Not only do I have the children to contend with, I have the other teachers. I had a pretty large fight with another teacher about Islam and the principles and terrorism... and I wanted to smack her.
I feel like every day since last thursday (sans sat and sun of course) I've taken a phsycial beating at work and come home... deadtrodden. Not wanting to move.
Goodness I need a vacation.
Another blog I read linked his out.. and I thought it fit very well into the conversation I had today with Smokey the bear (coworker).

frustrated
Today was frustrating. Work is misserable. I'm seriously considering a new job all because of one of my fellow employees. She feels that since she's been there longer, the world revlolves around her. She enjoys making decisions for me, enjoys tattle telling on me, and stupid shit like that. It's become fun to see who can piss the other one off more.
That said, I couldn't quit my job, I love it so.
I go up to visit EJ this weekend, I'm so excited. I'm buying a bottle of everclear vodka and a pack of Guiness and once up there we are shopping for food for hte weekend as well as some sprite and Cranberry juice... I am going to make Claydoughs all weekend (1 shooter of everclear, half a tumbler of cranberry, half a tumbler of sprite... omg, first real mixed drink I had at college, best I ever tasted!) but I'm also a bit poor this weekend, flying with only 30 bucks to get booze and food.. However, I may get a less strong Vodka just so i can do mt. Dew shooters... (which you can't do with 190 proof vodka... 90% ethanol, 10% water.. talk about "feeling the burn".. woo)
Yes, I'm getting drunk this weekend because life is falling apart around me. Mum is crazy, work is crazy, relationship is crazy, and really, I don't care much. I'm going to be at a safe place in a city with several contacts (two of those being my brothers who don't drink anymore), as well as being in a known area for drinking and being with someone I trust (atleast with monitoring my alcohol). He knows I'm planning drunkenness, as he's getting merely guiness for him so he can be my "watcher". I'm going to enjoy my weekend.
That said, I still have one more day at work, and I must remember that it's a bad idea to talk too much tomorrow for pissing off the teacher only means more horrible things for me come monday...
Now I go to bed with my sullen self and pray away my time tomorrow at work... Then pray for a LONG weekend that doesn't seem like it's flying away... yes, that would be best.
Goodnight all.

update
Update. There isn't one. We are under water... loads of rain.
I'm back hanging out with EJ... we are gunna do Hubers this weekend in hopes that things work out. I dunno.. I like him, but we aren't much more than friends with hugs right now. I dunno.. boys suck.
I have a nasty cough, but that's it.. stupid Ohio Valley Crud.
Uhm... hmm.. I dunno. I've selected an agency, and will be happy to sign with them when I'm old enough. Mum's on a rampage about me having bio kids. she keeps saying "you have good genes! If you have kids with EJ, think about how SMART your kids will be... little left handed geniuses!"... oh mum. She just wants a baby at her side right now.. and she knows Fox and Thunder aren't giving her anything (HAH! My brothers, have babies? YEAH RIGHT!)
I started working on my Nano.. not started on it, per sey, but started on my character list and a bit about each character. I'm excited about this years... no clue why. But yes, I am happy to begin writing agian.. it's been a while. I started a blog for my nano.. it's under my profile if you want to read about it. Hopefully I'll update daily on it.. but HAH, we all know how that goes.
Other than that, life is moving on. Too stressful, too emotional, too just way out there for everyda living.. so we'll live 4 of 7 days! rest 3! lol. If only.
Anyway, off to write up a character sheets for my nano.. woo.

quick updates
so I'm slow, it's okay! I haven't updated in a bit.
What's new.. really nothing.
I have strep throat, thanks to a very inconsiderate parent who sent her children to school with strep and didn't bother ot tell anyone.. she knew they had strep because when she was called to come and get them for a fever her response was "damn, and I thought I had 2 more hours before the motrin wore off... guess I should make thier strep test appointment now".. it's life.. BWAH! how dare you! So now I've had to miss our big volunteer project on saturday and I had to miss a day of work because of it.
I have my knee surgery scheduled on Friday the 13th, of all days! I have a meeting with my surgeon thursday afternoon at 1pm. I'm rather nervous. It's a simple surgery, just reparing a tear in my miniscus (sp?) and cleaning out broken cartilage so it won't crackle and pop so much.. and draining a bit of fluid. Dr. R, my normal ortho, said it's a 20 min procedure that will keep me out maybe 3-5 days of work, which sucks, but I can deal!
I am trying ot find an easy bread and butter recipe fo rthe fours to make when I take them back off in a couple weeks. I've got an easy butter one, but now I need an easy simple bread one for them! Any suggestions?
It's almost 9pm and my mum and I are going to watch Girl, Positive. It's basically about a girl who hooks up with someone, who has hooked up with someone else and ends up HIV positive. It's supposed to be really good, so I'm hoping it lives up to the hype.
HIV is my disease of study ever since I was about 12... oddly what turned me on to it was the MTV show Real World. Pedro Zamora was HIV positive and he was very open about it. He truely was an amazing guy and made me think about it. When I was studying genetics as my first major, my goal was to work on a cure for HIV... To understand the disease and everything else. Regardless, it's a very interesting disease and I can't wait to see how it's portrayed in the movie.
Anyway, there's nothing else going on here. I'm still agency hunting.. I've found that my original agency is really expensive compared to others, but I'm now wondering if it's a get what you pay for business... who knows.
Well it's time for the movie! I'll give a review afterwards!
