I just witnessed the biggest food fight known to man.
At one moment I was sitting in the lounge having a great time eating my lunch, and then the next every teacher was sprinting to the cafateria!! You should have seen that place! It was unreal.
We had to skip out on lunch, even the kids, well the 8th graders anyway, and escort them back to our rooms! I was so angry. Words do not even describe. I yelled and made them put their heads down. Now we have to ESCORT the kids to their classes! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!
SO, this day sucks but at the same time...greatness.

WTF.
I was just discussing with a good friend last night all of the new note/email lingo.
We were laughing so stinking hard.
WTF: what the (insert nasty word) is a commonly used term among the middle schooler's and the myspacers. Funny how middle schooler's and myspacer's can be used in the same sentence.
OMG: oh my gah! Can you just hear all the women out there saying this?!!? Hilarious.
LYLAS: love ya like a sis. I remember back in the olden days when I used to write notes to my friends and we would write this..along with....
BFFTTDWDSBS: best friends forever til the day we die side by side. greatness.
BFF: best friends forever. This one is a great one.
If you can think of any others please feel free to comment.
It's Friday, and there is supposed to be another walkout today. All the kids are dressed in Mexican flag paraphenalia. It's great. I think one kid even had the Mexican Flag on like a skirt. Genius. Anyways, so we are on strict hall duty among other things. It's so annoying...
Tonight I am going to a concert.
Please see www.commonheart.com to find out more about this! You should go if you live in the Metroplex. I got free tix...I'm big time around here, people know me. hahahha..hilarious.
Last night I lead worship with my friend Thomas at a ministry called Celebrate Recovery. Go to www.celebraterecovery.com
I feel like the Lord's trying to get me to go through this process. I'm not sure what for or why. But, read about it. No it's not like Alcoholic's Anonymous...if you were wondering.
Sunday leading worship again at the village. go to www.thevillagechurch.net if you don't have a church home or would like to visit! I love what the Lord is doing at this place.
I think I'm going to work on my resume this weekend and maybe apply for some school districts around the metroplex. Yup, that's what I'm going to do.
Some body keep me company today. I'm going to be bored here.

Unbelievable
Is it bad to live for the weekends? Because right now that's all that I feel like I do. I just pray that the Lord will help me get through the day without killing someone. I mean, I guess I wouldn't really kill someone.
Today, during my 3rd period 6th grade boys choir, a mom walked in my classroom. I was so excited because her son is the kid who rolls his eyes and laughs everytime he gets in trouble. He is so stinking disrespectful. Today, I just stood and watched while the mom reprimanded and yelled at her son in front of the whole class! I was so proud of her. Poor thing was tearing up. She even said 'I don't give a rat's ass' in the middle of my class. I wanted to give her a high 5 but I felt like that probably would be inappropriate. Anyways, the freaking kid just sat there and laughed at his mom! I was so mad, so I threw in my 2 cents. I told the mom in front of the class that I felt sorry for her and that I have never in my life seen such an ungrateful kid. I went off about how his mother only works to put food on the table, a roof over his head and a warm bed for him to sleep on. It was great....but, as soon as she left, he was back to his old ways. I just sent him to the office. What happened to the good old days of getting whippin's in the office. I mean never in my life have I ever seen so many disrespectful kids in one place. It's bad because they actually love ISS and RAC.....because they are by themselves. Crazy.
So, last night I went to eat dinner at Eatzi's with my old friend Rachel. We went back to her apartment and watched LOST. It was such a good episode. I'm very intrigued about the next episode.
After that, my friend Natalie asked me and our friend Jeremy if we would help her with some video footage. Little did we know that we had to play a high school couple struggling with well...you know. So, Jeremy and played it up but of course LAUGHED the whole time. It might have been one of the most awkward things that I have ever done! No really.
Anyways, so, this school day is almost finished and tomorrow is Friday. I have never been so thankful in my life.....

DELIRIUM and protests..
Well, I have alot today. We'll start with protests.
So, yesterday between 2nd and 3rd periods, the fine students at James Bowie Middle School decided to pack their backpacks and head out the door in a stampede to...where you might ask?
A few possible places.
1. To their houses
2. To the high school to protest with their fellow Vikings at Nimitz
3. To downtown Irving followed by taking the dart bus to downtown Dallas to protest.
It's interesting. All I could do was laugh. I wasn't really in an uproar about it because there was absolutely nothing I could have done. So, me and my coworker Stacie stood at our doors and waved goodbye while yelling VIVA MEXICO! Kidding, but wouldn't that have been funny...to us probably. Anyways, we had about 50 students try to come back to school later yesterday..which I find hysterical. We of course didn't let them in because they didn't have a pass. So, today, we are all dealing with unexcused absences..etc. Exciting time here at James Bowie Middle School
My next topic..Delirium. Yesterday, my friend Jacob called me to inform me that the girl he had bought tickets to Delirium for (Cirque de Soleil for those of you unfamiliar) bailed out at the last minute. Sucks for him but not for me!!!! So, last night I got pampered with a dinner and margarita at Mi Cocina...I probably should have thought through the marg before the show..I was struggling to keep my eyes open, and then an incredible show at the American Airlines Center!!
I was so freaking cool! I couldn't really wrap my small mind around what was going on...but I enjoyed every single second of it.
Well, the bell rang..and the little heathens are on their way in!! Have a great Hump Day everyone!!

Carpel Tunnel...and Protests
I think I'm getting Carpel Tunnel in my left wrist. Could it be from typing to much? Too much blogging and myspacing maybe? Probably so. I think I need to start a week fast from both of these.
This morning at 3:30am, our EVER SO LOUD fire alarm went off in my building. It's not your typical fire alarm with just a loud sounding beep noise or siren...but, it's a woman repeating the same line OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. "ATTENTION, THERE HAS BEEN REPORT OF A SOMETHING OR OTHER, PLEASE EVACUTE TO ALL THE NEAREST EXITS." Kill me. So, I hear Miriam running down the hall putting on her sweatshirt...I threw on a fleece and pajama pants and we both stood at the door...looking out waiting to see if other people were leaving. Generally, it's a false alarm. So, yes, it was a false alarm. The first week I lived in our building the fire alarm went off for an hour straight in the middle of the night and I was the ONLY ONE THERE. It was hilarious.
So, if you live in the DFW area, I'm sure you heard about the protests on the news. Well, we got an email from our principal today talking about the protests and free speech. He told us what we were supposed to do if it broke out on our campus. I can just see it happening now. I don't really have much to say about this..
I just commited to drive a 15 passenger van next weekend on our Road Rules Trip for church. I'm very scared about this, but they deemed me a responsible person for some WEIRD reason. SCARY.
Well, I don't have much today. I have alot to say really, but I'm going to refrain...I'm going to keep it surfacey and general today..I hope you don't mind.

Sunday afternoon F-U-N!
i obviously didn't make this picture becuase i was taking it. but from left to right...mason, peter, mirm, natasha, thomas and john. michael and i were facing them.... fun times......
Me and Michael Snetzer. He's Peter's roommate. He's 39 years old and runs a ministry at our church called Celebrate Recovery. He's also a counselor at a Christian Counseling Center. He's such a freaking stud. All the guys call him "their holy spirit" because he's ALWAYS calling them out and making sure they are doing what they are supposed to do. He's pretty intense but hilarious at the same time. He has a beautiful daughter that I feel like is more mature than me at ag 13.
Thomas acting like an idiot, me of course acting like an idiot and covering up John's face in the back and Peter smilin' away.....here we are walking around the Arboretim in Dallas. I have no idea how you spell it. It's a beautiful place right next to White Rock Lake. We went to just throw the football around and be lazy becuase it was beautiful outside. My favorite part about this picture is the little girl right beside Peter's head with her dress lifted up on her dad's shoulder's. Priceless.

TRIBUTE TO CO-WORKERS
and then there is me. I didn't take this picture at school. This is my lunch table...along with about 4 other people's pictures I don't have. I took this picture at Grant's a couple of weeks ago with his camera....he of course posted it where everyone could see. So, this is a tribute to my friends at school. They get me through the day with their hilarious emails...of course we have group emails. I hope everyone enjoys their co-workers as much as I enjoy mine! Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan..his office is also across the hall from mine and does the same thing that Stacie does. He cracks me up and ALWAYS has a listening ear and great advice. He really loves the Lord and you can really tell by his heart! Love this kid. He's shorter than me. Our building manager calls him mini-mi. He's also a coach.
Stacie...her office is across the hall from the choir room. She's an inclusion teacher so doesn't have a classroom. I love going in her office for a laugh or for a cry. She's such a good friend and always has a great story. She has a beautiful son named Scout. She'd kill me if she knew I put this picture up of her.

Introspective..
It's another weird day in the neighborhood today. Everything feels really thrown off.
I went to bed at 9:15pm with a headache last night and woke up with it this morning. That's frustrating. It makes my patience level non-exsistent.
Tonight, I'm leading worship with my friend Thomas at a ministry called Celebrate Recovery. It's an amazing ministry. At first, I put this stigma on it...but now that most of my friends have gone through the 12 step program, I have a new found respect. I have seen them find freedom over many things and it has been so cool to watch. 3 weeks ago I went to hear my friend Peter's testimony. It was amazing....so, I'm trying to prepare my heart for that. All of my friends have been trying to get me to come for over 6 months. I either a, don't have the time, b, am scared, or c, am scared of what the Lord will do through this. So, I don't know if this is the Lord's way to put me there to make me see that this is what he wants for me right now or what.
I'm in one of those very introspective modes today. I've just been really analyzing my heart and my mind lately and I don't like what I see. It's so amazing how easy it is to put other things before the Lord. It's so frustrating to see how lazy one can become!! I feel like that right now. Lazy. Very lazy about most things in my life. Job, cleaning my room, time with the Lord..etc.
Tomorrow night a bunch of us are going two-stepping at Gilley's. I'm especially excited about this, because I love to two step. Most of the boys that I am going with are really good and can twirl me around that dance floor like nobody's business! Speaking of boys, I need to step away from them all right now. I feel like they are clouding my mind. Shoot.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday....it's almost lunchtime..my favorite time of the day!

Buyer's Remorse
I just went into complete freakout mode.
I just booked 2 trips. One in May to New York, and one in June to California!
So, New York..I'm going with Sarah! YEAH! We're staying with our friend Luke...which is nice because we won't have to pay for hotel.
Then, in June I'm going to California from June 15th-21st! I'm going with Miriam, Rachel, Natalie and Natasha! We rented a car and will be driving up the coast! It will be so stinking fun! We're flying into Burbank...going to a wedding that Friday and then are totally playing the whole rest of the time.
So, we can make the trip cheap thank the Lord! It's a good thing I babysat last week and was able to pay for one plane ticket and half of the other! thank you Lord! :) But, still I went into freak out mode becasue I haven't deposited that money onto my credit card yet.
I'm in a funk today. I think it's because it's Wednesday, or maybe it's because I called off my first relationship...for only a 2 months time. It's interesting how God works, because there was nothing wrong with him.....I just didn't feel like he was into me....as much as I would have liked for him to be. Is that selfish? I don't think so....I hope not. I just want someone to be enamored by me...and not just think I'm alright. Am I right? It's a weird day..kinda mopey..kinda trying to feel sorry for myself but knowing that the Lord has something better in store for me..which makes me excited.
So, that's that for today. I can't wait for May and June!!!!!!!! New York and California are my favorite places to go!!!
