Back to work and 3 day weekends

Well I had my first week of subbing. It did not go as bad as I thought it might. I was not looking forward to going back to work again. I really enjoyed my summer off. I could get used to the staying at home thing :) Anyhow... my first week of subbing I subbed 3 days in a special needs classroom at an elementary school. The class right now only had 2 kids, and the teacher I worked with was great. So it was not bad at all. I also got a job for all of next week doing the same thing but at a High School. We'll see how that goes. I'm a little more nervous about doing this one because it's older kids.... but it can't be that bad?! I'm sure after the first day it will get easier. I gave myself Monday off so I can spend time with Korey because he has a 4 day weekend right now. So I made myself a 3 day weekend!
So far on our long weekends we've gone to dinner with friends, saw a movie (well just the girls saw a movie... the boys preferred not to see The Nanny Diaries), went to a water park, had dinner again, played games, and relaxed. Today's only Sunday so we have today and tomorrow to still do some things. Today we are planning a trip to Target haha and then watching the Steeler game because it will actually be on TV here! Tomorrow we might take Bella to the dog park and then I'm going to stop in at the school I worked at last year to give them my number in case they need a sub! Then on Tuesday its back to work for both of us. Korey will be on his mids shift so he'll be at work from 11-11. Which will be interesting, because that means I'll only really see him for a few hours in the morning. But that's okay it will only be for a four days then I'll have the weekends off so I can see him when he's home a little more. These weird shifts bug me! :) But that's okay. At least on the next 4 day weekend we're going to Universal- I can't wait!. I guess that's enough for now I'm going to go play a game on my computer or something since Korey is playing on his. Talk to everyone later I hope!

Subbing... ugh

Hello everyone. It's been awhile again. Sorry! I really haven't been doing too much. Just the same old stuff. Going to the pool during the day and relaxing. But... all that is about to end. School started today :(. I don't know when I'll get my first subbing call but I am not looking forward to it. We need the money so I have to try and sub at least 4 days a week once school gets going, but I really would rather not. haha I guess I'll really be looking forward to the weekends again! The good thing is that Korey has a lot of the weekends off now. It's nice that his breaks fall on weekends because then we can do stuff together. This weekend I think we are going to go to one of the water parks here. Each of the three county parks have a water park at them and we have been wanting to go for awhile now-so we figured we better go before summer is completely over.
Today I have a list of things I need to do , but right now I'm watching Pride and Prejudice. We read the book for book club and now I'm watching the movie. I had a hard time getting into the book, and didn't really like it too much, but the other people in the book club told me to watch the movie and it would help me like it better. But anyway.. for now that's all I have to write I guess :)

Random Quote

I was up late again... couldn't sleep. But I don't have anything really that exciting to write about. Korey and I went to the pool today.. woohoo haha. We went because it was sooo stinking hot out- somewhere in the upper 90's. But anyhow, since I didn't really have anything to write about, and I was watching old One Tree Hill episodes, I figured I'd post a quote I liked from the show. At least looking up quotes gave me something to do for awhile haha.

"You ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you, how many moments of other peoples lives have we been in, were we a part of someone's life when their dreams came true, or were we there when their dreams died. Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there, or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it."

Something to think about...

I hate night shifts!

Korey is now doing shift work and the night shift stinks. Of course he gets the night shift as his first full shift!! He works from 7:30 pm- 7:30 am. He usually gets home around 8:15 in the morning and then goes to bed until around 3ish. At least that is what he did yesterday which was his first night on this shift. I tried staying up with him the other night when he was trying to adjust his sleeping pattern. I made it til about 4 o'clock then I fell asleep. Korey made it til 7 but he also took an hour nap which I did not take haha. Last night I tried staying up again until he got home. It was hard, especially here by myself- even Bella gave up and went back to her den to sleep. I read Harry Potter, talked to people online until they all went to bed, played some games online, and watched 3 episodes of Desperate Housewives. I gave up and let myself fall asleep somewhere around 5:30. I slept on the couch until Korey woke me up... then I went back to bed and slept til 3... ICK Sleeping during the day is a weird feeling. Waking up that late makes me feel like I wasted the whole day even though I did a lot the night before. Tonight I'm going to try and go to sleep earlier because I really need to go downtown tomorrow and get my subbing card. I can always take a nap in the afternoon if I want. I'm hoping to go downtown with the girls again tomorrow but I haven't heard from them yet... I need to give them a call!
Sorry this post has been pretty boring. I really doubt anyone wanted to know how I spent my last few nights haha. I am getting sooo close to finishing HARRY POTTER! I like this book and I'm hoping to finish it tonight. It is kind of sad though because I know there won't be any more harry potter books.
But enough ranting for tonight!
