It's been a tough week peeps.
Don't get me wrong, I {heart} summer but it didn't get started the way I had dreamt in my head.
This blog is my outlet, so if you're reading in hopes of straight happy teacher talk- well, today's post isn't quite up your alley...sorry to disappoint.
........
It all started with the big move {at school}. I'm super pumped about looping up with my munchkins, but not super pumped about the new room. It's practically on the other side of the earth...okay, so maybe that's a little exaggerated. It's far. Really far. I hardly get cell reception.
I kid.
A little.
I knew I'd have to put my tennies on to tackle this move- which was totally fine- I was up for the workout...until...I walked into the new room.
No A/C.
In Florida.
90 degrees + humidity.
killmenow.
Oh, but wait...it gets better. The teacher's room I'm moving into has had a substitute for the past couple months because the teacher was out on maternity leave. Subs don't get paid for post planning...so you could only imagine what I walked into.
I'll spare you all the dirty details.
Let's just say it was bad.
bags of chips in the filing cabinet
food on the floor
papers still inside desks
BAD
8 trash bags and 1.5 days later I finally got the room to a point where the custodial staff could come in and clean the floors. Don't even get me started on the amount of organizing I still need to do.
All the math manipulatives are in one giant tub...mixed.
not fun.
I will be one busy teacher come pre-planning that's for sure!
Moving on...
Summer school started this week.
I thought I was teaching reading to 18 sweet little kindergartners.
Let's just say that I'm officially declaring to NEVER teach Kinder.
Who knew getting through 3 full workshop rotations could be so difficult. And, seriously...why can't these little humans enjoy a listening center without screaming at each other?? Don't even get me started on the computer stations. Who's brilliant idea was it to have 5 year olds type in a 10 digit ID and password just to log on?!?
Did I mention that I'm excited to be looping to 2nd?!? LOL
Meanwhile, back on the home front...
Our 1 year wedding anniversary is in 4 days. The weather here in sunny Florida hasn't been all that sunny lately so our my dream vacay to Sanibel Island this weekend has been cancelled. Mr. Hubs is perfectly fine with that...he's not a fan of the beach {gasp} He could do without the sand, the sun, the salt. I, on the other hand, am sad... I need a day at the beach something awful ya'll. My poor legs need sun and my brain needs a break. We've decided to do a day trip sometime after the move.
Yes, the move.
I said it.
We're moving homes too.
In 14 days.
Lord, give me strength.
As of yesterday, we hadn't found a place. Talk about stress for this control freak organization addict. We thought we had a townhouse secured earlier this week, but then found out that Mr. Hubs had serious mistakes on his credit report. Someone out there is not very nice and used his SSN...to buy multiple houses..and then not pay the mortgage...on any of them. You could imagine what that looks like on paper. YIKES!
Today's Public Service Announcement:
CHECK YOUR CREDIT REPORT REGULARLY!!
:)
So, after much disappointment, a few restless nights and lots of conversations with God, everything came full circle today.
Mr. Hubs got everything cleared up. The credit bureaus were very helpful. They put a rush on everything once he explained the situation. Mr. Hubs was a trooper. Spending hours on the phone is so not his thing! I'm just happy it's all good in the hood.
We got back in contact with the realtor for the townhouse, who told us they already had a new applicant.
Total bummer.
I was pretty smitten with that home.
As far as I was concerned, it was ours. Just paperwork and the keys.
Not that simple, I suppose.
...so...
I set up a few other rebound viewings for today, trying to push past the break up.
I had it bad ya'll. Like... already decorating the living room in my mind, bad.
What's a brokenhearted girl supposed to do...well, shop of course?!? I spent hours in Joann's and Dollar Tree {where else} trying to give a lil therapy to my stressed soul.
It helped.
Then, I got the news that the other applicant for our townhouse fell through and the realtor had done some research on our credit problem, knew it was a mistake, and was willing to move forward with us!! My heart skipped a beat...or two!
PRAISE THE LORD!
{not, PTL...this calls for a full spellng ya'll}
We can rest easy tonight knowing we have a place to put all these boxes that I've packed brought home...not to mention the goodies I bought today on my bulletin board and library makeover retail therapy trip. {That's a post for another day!}
Guess I have some packing to do and I couldn't be more excited!
WOOP! WOOP!
p.s. go check your credit report! seriously.
