Tina's Life as She Knows It

Monday, June 20, 2005

Here I am, with only a few days left in Fort Morgan. I have a million things to do, I have this bad feeling its not all going to get done.
Today was insane! It was the first day of VBS, which is just crazy anyhow. Then I had a teacher not show up. So I told a high school volunteer to go in there and wait with the kids. The class ended up being the biggest I had, and no teacher. So I had to teach them, I really had no idea what was going on. Plus the whole day was really behind.
Afterward I talked with the 5/6th grade VBS lady. It was really nice to talk to her. She used to be a DCE and Lutheran teacher. It was interesting to get her perspective on things. Plus she had some insight on what was going on here before I moved here. It was good tho.

Then to make things even crazier. I went to go reserve my Uhaul and realized I did not have my drivers license. Its a problem, but worse than I thought. I need my license number to reserve my stupid Uhaul. So I started looking for it. It is not anywhere! I looked at home, at school, at church, I called the grocery store. I know I had it on Saturday when I flew back from St. Louis and I haven't seen it since. I even called the phone number that is on the license itself and left a message on their answering machine. I don't know what I'm going to do. This is one thing I didn't need to deal with.

Hopefully tomorrow will go better! Sarah will be here tomorrow! Which also means I need to clean off all the junk that is on the extra bed. It hasn't seen light in some time. Ok, if you know me, you know I'm messy. If you can't deal with that, too bad. I really don't think that is going to change that much ever. Haha, I'm me, that's all there is to it.

Feelin' Good

So I actually had a normal weekend. It made me really happy. Yesterday, Saturday, I actually went out! Isn't that unbelievable! Philip, who is basically my only friend here in Fort Morgan and happens to be 18, invited me to go to Six Flags with him and some of his friends. It was a good time. It was strange to think that I was hanging out with high school kids and being on their level, but at the same time it was great to just hang out with some young people. So I left the house around 11:30 in the morning and didn't get home until after 1am. We went to Six Flags, out to dinner, the aurora Mall, and then stuck in traffic for over an hour at 11:00. I was amazed at the traffic jam that late at night. I was so tired by the time I got it but it was really worth it. I love to go out and normally the only time I do it is when I'm in Boise with Crystal.

So this Wednesday I get to see some college friends. I am soooo excited. Plus I get to go to St. Louis. I love St. Louis, but I love my friends more. Of course there is a much larger reason for this, its Mere and Matt's wedding. I can't believe I haven't seen most of my friends that will be there in over a year. This year has flown by and times and been extremely drawn out at others.

Please pray that I will get everything done before I leave. VBS is right after I get back. Then I move right after that. So basically I'm crazy to do this all that once. But then again I wouldn't be me if I actually did think things through totally before I jumped in with both feet.

  • Oh well... I make it through, some how... :)

Getting ready for the move

So school is out. I really thought I would have a bunch of time and my stress level would go down drastically. That has not happened. Granted, now having a job for next year has made me feel a lot better. For those of you who do not know I am moving back to Idaho, I will be teaching 5/6th grade in Clover. But its all the other stuff I have going on that is driving me crazy. Between trying to pack up at school and home, VBS, and youth group. Then I have all this other stuff going on too. AHHH!

I feel really overwhelmed with packing and getting ready to leave all on my own. People I've talked to don't think its that bad, but they also don't know how much stuff I've got. I went into work today to work on cleaning and my principal came in and told me to take some time off and take it easy. I gave him the response "But I have to get it done". I gave myself this week to get all my stuff at school taken care of, tomorrow is Thursday and I don't feel that I can get it all done in another two days. Then next week is anything I can pack up early at home. Then the following Wednesday I leave to Mere and Matt's Wedding, then I get back in time for VBS. Then the following Monday I MOVE! It sounds like a lot of time but really its not. So I am going crazy.

I did get some news from my new school. I might have a roommate for next year. Her name is Michelle Schaefer. She went to Portland, too bad for her :), haha. I'm excited about the idea of living with someone. I've been so lonely this year, I could really use the friendship. And the best news is CRYSTAL IS MOVING TO TWIN! She got a job at the Twin Falls Hospital. She is excited, I'm excited. We have been friends a long time and living in the same area is going to be great. This move has me really excited. You know what you make the right choice it just feels right, this is how this feels.
