Originally Posted By LilliBelle Hello to my friends, ChickieD and smedley! I miss you, too. I accepted a summer school secretary assignment at a high school 30 miles from my house. We had one day to prepare for the students and I worked a 10 hour shift that day. Our student information system data base is not available during the summer, so I've been having to do all the attendance on EXCEL spreadsheets. SUCKS! Now I know why no one will do summer school two years in a row. The assignment is getting better and the people I have to work with are very nice. It's over on July 28th, plus it's only 4 days a week. 2nd whine: My 23 year old son just bought a motorcycle. It is taking every bit of will power I have not to think of it as a "murder-cycle". That's what my high school driver's ed. teacher called them. Dear Lord, please keep him safe. Anyway, thanks for missing me, ladies! Big Hugs to you!
Originally Posted By mele I was wondering where you were the other day, LilliBelle. Sounds like you are very busy! (I'll say a prayer for your son, too. Doesn't he know that he's not supposed to worry his mom so much?) ;-) Here is my whine for the day. I knew I was going to the lake. I knew it was very sunny and that I easily burn. So why didn't I bother to put on sunscreen? Why does my brain work (or not work as the case may be) like this?
Originally Posted By LVBelle Lillibelle, good to see you! OK, here's my whine. I got a call from my principal today. He got a call from someone in Human Resources saying that my new position next year may not be able to be filled by me because my license is kindergarten through second and I'd be working with older kids. *sigh* So he and my former boss are going to start working on it, I may have to get a provisional literacy specialist license in order to keep the position. So now I have to worry about this all weekend long. I'm going to cry if I end up back in the classroom!
Originally Posted By mele Oh no, LVBelle! How frustrating. Hopefully it will all work out. Try not to worry too much. :-(
Originally Posted By chickendumpling LilliBelle and pennyring! I have missed you guys! I'm sorry to hear things are so busy and allergy-y and such. I'm glad your assignment is getting better though Lillibelle. And I will definitely keep your son in my prayers. May *extra* angels surround him. *hugs* And pennyring, I hope your allergy meds kick in quick friend! How are your pups? You know I'm pretty sure that "overly obsessive about your dog" thread is still around here if you've got some braggin' that needs to be done.

That the principal is on your side certainly gives one hope, doesn't it? I'll be thinking good thoughts for you. mele ~ I hope you had a good time at the lake and that you didn't get burned to bad... maybe one of the cabana boys in the mellow room could rub some nice cooling aloe vera on you.... And alexbook - I like ya man but I am sooooo jealous of you working "on-site" that I just can't see straight! LOL! (kidding! hope you don't have to pull to much hard labor this weekend.
Originally Posted By smedley Hey Lillibelle, good to see you, and you too pennyring, I'll drop you a line soon for a proper catch up My whine, I've spent all day in the garden (darling parents have come to help sort it out) and though it now looks more like a garden and less like madagascar I am missing several pieces of flesh and I'm exhausted.
Originally Posted By LilliBelle The temperature forecast for tomorrow here in Palm Springs is 116. The high school I am working at during the summer is in Desert Hot Springs and the smoke from the Sawtooth Complex fire is VERY close and I could smell the fire quite well today. I have never been so close to such a huge fire; it's unsettling. There are 3 or 4 DHS high school employees that live up in the fire area and have had to be evacuated. No news on their houses or property as of yet. We are not in any danger here in the Palm Springs area, the fire is heading the other way through the overgrown brush and the pine trees closer to the San Bernardino National Forest that are now dead from a beetle infestation. Those trees are like matchsticks waiting to light. God Bless the firefighters. They are true heroes.

Originally Posted By alexbook Oh, and the back-up battery that we use to jump-start the van's battery when it dies is also dead.

So we went to Walgreens, a teacher supply store, and Longs, and eventually found what we needed.
