So, I'm a major blogger slacker and haven't really felt the need/desire to blog much in the past 3 months....but I'm bored and home alone on Saturday night, so I'll ramble a bit.

To quote a friend..."So there's this guy...." and he is totally "Not That Into Me!" I know this, and I accept this. And I never see this old guy, so I'm not pining or living on hope or any of that stupid girl stuff. But I went on a coffee date with this new guy today. We talked for 5 hours and he was intelligent and nice and attractive (I'm not talking Johnny Depp hot, but decent). It was nice.....but all I could think was that he wasn't as good as the "There's this guy" guy. Don't worry, I'll give this new guy a shot if he calls and asks me out again....but I HATE that I always compare guys to the old guy. Isn't there a cut off date after which a girl stops comparing new guys to old guy?

School is going well. I have a sweet, smart class and most things are fairly effortless. Its amazing what parent involvement can do. We've had a few rough days recently and I've had to remind the kids that I'm not their friend, I'm their TEACHER! I try to give them lots of choices so they feel like they have ownership of their learning....but I think they have begun to feel that they get to make ALL the choices and even make demands. All of the recent discord in the class is partially due to the need for a break and partially due to the time of year. Christmas is truly a fever for kids!

So my roommate lost her job and may be moving in January to go to seminary in Louisianna. I can't afford the new house on my own. So I either have to find a new roommate or a new place to live. Both of which are more stress than I want to bother with. Why can't I just get comfortable and stay still for a while and enjoy one place? I hate change. Its necessary sometimes. And even fun sometimes. But mostly its just annoying. Anyone want to solve this problem for me?
