36 days to go

April 1st, 2005 at 04:08 am

Today was better, mainly because the kids had two classes with another teacher - music. Both of the music classes are now consolidated into one day. Makes for a fairly short Thusday for me. Yay!

The Money Jar was filled today. So tomorrow we'll decide what we're going to do - a field trip or a party. I'm kind of hoping more for a party. I also told the kids that if they wanted a gripper (pencil holding thing that sticks to their desk) that they would need to giv me $.25 each by Monday. They cost $.50 for a set of 3. I already had 3 kids give me a quarter for it. Maybe they'll take better care of them if they bought it themselves. Probably not though.

After school I stopped by my apartment manager's office to drop off the rent check. But I guess they have switched management companies. The new management company is in Rockwall, so there'll be no dropping off a check there. I hope they get my check in time before charging me late fees or something. I'll really miss seeing Mercedes every month, or sometimes more often when dealing with maintance stuff.

When I got home, I found my dad snoring away on the lazy boy. He woke up after about an hour, and then told me about the very hard night and day he'd had. I really do feel sorry for him, and I do think that he's being treated harsher than necessary, but . . . he did bring it on himself.

One thing I'm finding about sharing my space with someone else on a more long-term basis, is that I really am set in my ways. It's very disconcerting to come home and not be able to just kick up my feet and do whatever, or to feel obligated to chat for a little bit. It's really making me wonder if I ever do get into another relationship, if I'd really be able to do it. If I'm just too set in my ways - being able to do my own thing without having to think or check with anyone else. I really don't like these thoughts.

Finally had a no spending day - on the last day of March none the less.

    Everytime I see your journal titles I think, 'ah, getting closer'. Your job sounds like a challenge -- here's hope the remaining days go well.....

    I feel the same way about living with someone...it really is hard if you feel obligated to chat, especially when you've had a long day, and when you've been used to having your own space for so long. If you were in love with someone, though, you'd probably feel good about coming home to him, because he would become "home" to you....you know? Don't worry, I'm sure when you meet the love of your life, it will fall into place. Smile Just wanted you to know that I completely understand.

    Thanks guys, I am starting to see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Kashi, you're right, it probably would be a lot different if it was someone I was *in love* with, rather than just cared about.
