WORK, WORK, WORK

Super busy this past week!  Thursday night I went to dinner with Sister, Mike, Jaxen, and Lloyd at 12A Buoy!  Had a couple drinks and some lobster mac n cheese!!!  I haven't been out to dinner in awhile and it was nice hanging out with the fam :)

Friday I was at IRSC all day for a Clinical Education training and to my surprise it was actually a good time!  It began like any other professional development..."stand up and tell everyone something about yourself"and I thought "great this is going to SUCK!"  There were mostly teachers from Okeechobee county at this training but I eneded up sitting next to the sweetest K teacher ever!  She was so nice and kept saying "I can't believe you teach 6th graders!"  Right lady, and I can't believe ANYONE would EVER want to teach Kindergarten, LOL!  Anyway we sat around talking about teaching, and what it means to be a "good teacher" and watching videos of good teaching, and how to mentor other teachers, and .... you get the point!  After careful calculation I think the training lasted 6 hours and at the end of the class I walked out with a 12 hours completion certificate...I'll take it!  So now I can officially mentor student teachers and have them observe me this fall. 

Friday night I worked the Tiki tent.  It was the captain's meeting for the Fishing Frenzy tournament and Friday Fest...so it was busy! 

Kim and I hardly working

Just a couple dolphin slaughtered!

Saturday I worked my normal double and ended up bartending and having a section as well.  Needless to say it was a hot mess and I wanted to throat punch EVERYONE in the place.  Oh and it was prom for one of the high schools around here and they wanted reservations...ummmm NO!  I ended up working open to close and was exhausted.  So I thought is was a good idea to have a cocktail with some co-workers after and seriously could have fallen asleep at the bar.  Sunday was round 3 at Tiki for Mother's Day :(  My last table was of course, THAT TABLE!  You know, the one that orders drinks...then apps...then the kids' food...then the adult meals....now the kids are crazy....so let's get dessert!  UGHHHH I didn't leave until 6 pm!  As I clocked out I saw 26 hours and thought "I am going to have a case of the Mondays tomorrow!" 

I have offically started the countdown to summer vacation - 15 school days!  So the next three weeks I will be cramming review in for my Science Final while being interrupted by 100 different school functions planned.  Today's interruption was Multicultural Fair!  This is a fair where 300 6th graders run around acting like lunatics while eating foods from different cultures...1 hour of hell for teachers.  I am pretty sure there will be no follow up activity and if you were to ask any of the students they would have no idea why they were there - SUCCESS!



150 more students are on the way :)
