I started working part time for our school district before the holidays. When break was over I did not think I would get called much and was a bit happy about it. The night before the kid's went back I got a call that they needed an aid for where the Kid's who get in trouble go. This was not just a sub position, this would be every day. I said I would try it out. Well it has been one interesting week. I deal with middle schoolers in the morning and high schoolers in the afternoon. At first I thought this may be very rewarding helping these kids get back on track and back to regular school. This pretty much went out the window after the first day. Two of the kid's slept the entire morning. The Principle has said to just let them sleep so they are not disruptive. There are sexual assault charges pending, battery against a teacher, firearms violations, GPS ankle bracelets, parole officers and many other interesting topics of conversation happening. I am not sure if this is something I can do for the long haul but I am getting wierdly used to it and if I didn't know what these kid's have done I would have never guessed it.
If I start posting video of some new rap star or sprinkling my writing with "Yo Cuz" please let me know I will quit immediately.
I know Christmas is over but it doesn't mean I have to stop making decorations. I have been obsessed with vintage paper Christmas houses. I would buy them but they are either too expensive or I don't have the patience to try to find fabulous vintage ones or I am not a good enough shopper to find a great knockoffs somewhere. So I am going to make them myself. I have big plans in my head that I will make a whole village. Here is the first try. It is not quite finished. I still need to put the paper in the windows and sprinkle on that fabulous mica glitter. I ordered some today but I won't have it for a week or so. I had to take a picture though because I am very happy with it so far. Now I just have to be on the lookout for fun little things I can embellish them with. I found a website today that has some beautiful handmade houses.
