Yesterday I went to North Forsyth High School as a sub for one of their Art teachers.
It wasn't bad...but I had my first mad teacher moment. In 4th period I told the students their assignments (which was all book work) and then I started writing a note for the teacher. When I looked up a couple minutes later, 4 or 5 students had large papers, paint bottles and brushes out. One student had dumped piles of paint onto one of the large sheets of paper. They had wasted SO much paint that I got really angry. I folded up their paper with the paint on it and tossed it in the trash can. Then I told them to clean up their mess and put everything away. I know they could tell I was ticked 'cause the whole class was silent.
Luckily that was the last class of the day since they do 4 Blocks a day there.
Last night Jesse cooked dinner. Baked Ziti and it was very good! I didn't run since my knee has been hurting, but I did my yoga video instead.
After that we watched "P.S. I Love You" and it was a good movie. It was a very sad movie though. Afterwards Jesse said "That was sad; Makes me wanna wear my seat belt" If youve seen it then you know its about a woman whose husband dies. I'm always badgering Jesse to wear his seat belt but he refuses.
Today I went back to the same school for the same teacher as yesterday. It was a crazy day because they had some special program for the seniors in the morning and afterwards it seemed like all the students left. I had my 2nd angry teacher moment in the same class today. A girl tried to pierce her lip in class with a nasty needle. I told her she was "about 5 seconds from getting wrote up and sent to the office." She asked to go to the bathroom and I said, "Not if you're going to come back to class with something in your face" and she said, "fine" and didn't leave.
I'm really glad that its Friday. Its amazing how much faster it seems the weekend comes now that I'm not working at Cracker Barrel 5 days a week! I don't know if its because I'm doing 2 different jobs, or if its because I like subbing more than waiting tables, or if its just something different ( I have been waiting tables for 4 and a half years)
I don't know what the rest of the evening holds...but I've been trying to get Jesse to take me to Kernersville Lake Park tomorrow. They have paddle boats to rent there and it looks nice :) Sounds like a nice Saturday to me!!

beautiful day!
The weather was wonderful today....
I went to Cracker Barrel this morning at 9...and I got cut around noon. I told them that I would go home because it was really slow and I wasn't making any money. I only sold 96 dollars worth of food today...and I made 20 bucks.
After work I stopped at the grocery store to get some milk. Then I came home and took a little nap.
When I woke up I decided that I would do my yoga video...and then I took a long bath. I am almost finished with The Rescue, by Nicholas Sparks.
Jesse went to go play basketball with Lester and they were gone for a long time. While they were gone I cooked "Angel Chicken Pasta" Its a recipe that I haven't made for a long time. I thought it was pretty good, with mushrooms, cream cheese, and angel hair pasta. We also had salads.
After dinner we went upstairs and hung out with Holli and Lester a bit. Tomorrow I think we are gonna go shopping.

hehe...sneaky, sneaky
I'm being sneaky because... currently I am sitting in a classroom...watching 5 eighth graders type away at their computers. The teacher that I am subbing for left her computer logged on so today I can get online! YAY! The 8th graders here went on their eighth grade trip to the coast this morning. So I will only have a few 8th graders in 1st and 2nd period today. They are working on a research paper in MLA format and a keyboarding program called Microtype.
Oh my gosh...I am SO sore from doing that dang yoga video yesterday. I found that while I was doing it yesterday I seemed to be getting better at it. Anyway... I put more into it..and I guess that means I am currently getting more out of it. I know my back hurts, my arms hurt, my abs are sore and most of all, my butt hurts.
Here is my schedule for today
8th grade 1st period 7:39 - 8:24
2nd period 8:28-9:13
planning 9:13-9:42
7th grade 3rd period 9:46-10:31
4th period 10:35-11:20
Lunch/planning 11:20-12:17
6th grade 5th period 12:21 - 1:06
6th period 1:10 -1:55
After school is out today Jesse and I have to drive to some place an hour away to get new tires put on my car. I am really glad because I have been driving Jesse's car since my tires are so bald. I hate driving Jesse's car.
I guess I won't be exercising today since we have to go do that.
I'm sure I will be watching American Idol later. I think, I HOPE that Brooke White goes home tonight!!!

1st time subbing @ a middle school
Today I subbed at a local middle school...and like I said yesterday I had to be there at 7 am! Well, I got there...its a really nice school..and I was in the computer lab. When I tried to unlock the door, someone opened it from inside. It was the teacher! She was sitting in a dark classroom so her students wouldn't bug her. haha..
She was taking 8 eighth graders to a soup kitchen for a field trip. We talked a little and then she asks me if I was the sub that was coming tomorrow, too because she was taking a few 7th graders on a field trip tomorrow.
I was like, "no" I only saw one day. She looks it up on her computer and it says that I AM the sub for tomorrow. I pulled up my info from the substitute website and I didn't see anything about subbing tomorrow....and I was supposed to work at Cracker Barrel!
Then I noticed... really really small... it said 4/29/2008 at 7:00 AM until 4/30/2008 at 2:15 PM (A)
and well, I just didn't notice that it said 4/29 and 4/30! So.. I felt bad, but I had to call in to Cracker Barrel. That means tomorrow I will have to wake up before 6 am once again!
It was really nice getting home at 2! :) After school I took a short nap w/ Jesse and then I did my yoga video.
I made enchiladas for dinner...and then we watched American Idol with the Conn's. I have to mention that it was quite possibly the most boring episode of American Idol EVER! Whats up with the old fogey's crap they've been doin' lately?? Neil Diamond, the Beatle's, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Dolly Parton, BLAH!
now... I gotta get to bed 5:45 comes early.

I survived my 1st sub job!
Yesterday was the 1st day I've missed a day blogging in a long time! But I have a good excuse.... on Thursday I was concerned about getting my junk and thoughts gathered for my 1st substitute teaching job that was today.
Cracker Barrel on Thursday may have been the slowest day I can remember EVER! I only had 2 tables in well over 2 hours. I was happy to be training.
When I got home we went over to the apartment's gym and I realized that its freakin' HOT in there..and I don't really like their treadmill. It doesn't have as bunch springy-bounce as mine. So I don't think I'll be going back there.
Thursday night Jesse and I watched "Things We Lost In The Fire." It was kinda different, but a pretty good movie. Its about dealing with death and addiction.
This morning I had to wake up really early. I went to North Forsyth High School which is about a 20 minute drive. The substitute website said that I should be there at 8:20 am. I thought that I should be there at 8 to get myself situated and stuff so I left early, 7:25 am in case of traffic. I stopped at a gas station and got some coffee and still made it there by 7:50.
After I made it into the classroom, I found out that 1st period didn't even start until 8:55!!
1st period was Art I and had 26 students. One loudmouth kid stood up and asked me what my name was... I say, "Mrs. Crouch," He says, "And your first name?" I say, "Erin, but..." He interrupts and says, "& your phone number?" haha....
The teacher left a boring, crappy, old video about M. C. Escher and afterwards the students had to complete a quiz on the video.
2nd period was Art 2 and had 20 students. It went pretty smooth except for 2 boys who asked me if they could go outside and skateboard.
2nd period was over at 12:06 pm and I didn't have another class until 2:11 pm. I talked to Jesse on my cell phone, ate lunch, and watched a little TV. The classroom got NBC, A&E, the Discovery channel, and some other public channels. I got to watch a little Cold Case Files and it made me happy even though I had already seen that episode.
4th period was Art 2 with 20 students, too. It was pretty good but there were 2 girls in there that I recognized from 1st period. I asked them why they were back and at 1st they said that they had Art I and Art II at the same time. I looked for their names on the roster from 1st and they weren't on there...so I asked them why they weren't on both class lists. One said she just transferred to Art I and the other told me she came in there because her real 1st period wasn't doing anything. A few minutes later both girls came up to the desk and apologized for lying to me...you know, once they figured they weren't going to get away with it. I still left a note for their teacher to let her know what they did.
4th period was cut short because they had to go to homeroom and get report cards. I left around 3:50. It was a pretty good day...a long day, but an easy day.
When I got home today I did my yoga video and cleaned the house quite a bit.. I still have more cleaning for tomorrow. I really should go get in the shower. I'm really sleepy!

:::fart noise::: thats what I think about Mondays
ick... monday.
Cracker Barrel was boring today. Nothing happened worth mentioning at all.
On a happier note, I haven't bitten my fingernails for quite some time now! Jesse said if I went 3 whole months sans nibbling then he would give me $300. Yes, I know...technically it would be $300 of my own money, but it just feels different...like because I have that $300 I have to spend it on myself..frivolously! and that's exciting! I hardly ever spend money on myself. Truthfully, I would probably have a hard time spending it.
Speaking of which... I really need to get my hair highlighted and cut...but I keep putting it off. I'm going to TRY to call someone tomorrow to make an appointment.
Tonight Jesse and I went to Chick-fil-a for dinner...well actually we went through their drive thru and brought it back home. They had sent us a coupon in the mail for two free combo meals. It was delicious. I don't know what they do to their fried chicken to make it taste so good but....its the best! :) I just needed some more pickles...but I'm a huge pickle fan.
oh... I almost forgot! I FINALLY am registered to log on the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school systems substitute teaching job finder! YAY! This means I have to figure out what I'm going to do about Cracker Barrel. I'm thinking that I'll stay at CB a couple days a week...and then try to find Sub jobs on the other days.
