I had another great day at work (I LOVE my job!!). My student teacher got observed today by her college supervisor, and she did great. Right before the lesson started, I jumped on the net and grabbed a few more resources that she could show the kids, so she was able to put it up on the board and impress with her tech savy!

Just after, my dept head came in to see me (observe? Maybe...) I was talking to K kids about the Aztecs in Mexico around my global map rug, then we moved to the tables to create our own mosaic masks - he was pretty impressed (and I was so proud of these littles - they are awesome sponges, and SO funny).

My dr. called me on the way home (I've had an ear infection for about 4 days now - ick) and told me to come right in, so I picked up the kids and went over there. He wanted an update so I told him all the latest (he is a very sweet man and will take time like that). Come to find out that he knows both the skank and her stbxh, and their families, both of which have lived her a few generations. Said he had always liked her H and was so sorry it happened to him, but wasn't surprised at who the skank was - seems like she didn't fall too far from the tree, and he knew that she and her mother both are just miserable people in general. Said my x must be a very sick man to do all that he did, especially with her.

Too bad for him, huh?

From there, took the kids to Target to fill the script and shop a little, then to Healing Hearts (a divorce support group, with social workers in each small group broken down by age). Seems that at least 2 girls have a crush on S13 - one even dressed up really nicely and asked for his phone number! And so that begins...
Good group to be around and vent with, share ideas of what next steps to do, etc.

Off to Chinese Buffet, then a trip through the grocery store. We are home and wiped, but we laughed and joked around a lot tonight - it was a really good day.

And my littles are home with me ALL WEEKEND \:\)

And tomorrow is FRIDAY \:\)

And I am feeling more like myself: happy, open, bubbly, a goofy ham sometimes, etc.
