Jennifer and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, week! (Pity Party)

I will warn all of you that this has nothing to do with my wedding......

This is a summary of my week:

Monday
After all day Friday planning a lesson plan for my new "focus child" (I got him assigned to me at the end of the day Wednesday, so I had no idea what he struggled with) I managed to pick the one math skill he had mastered! So our activity that was supposed to fill 30 minutes took about 15! Then I had to go to the IMA with my classmated to basically watch a power point that could have been shown to us on campus!

Tuesday
Got to work late, for which I got the evil eye from my boss! Then I realized that my dyslexia had led to me to an incorrect balance in my register, which made me become overdrawn. So basically I was broke until today.

Wednesday
I already was just in a bad (partially bc of PMS) when I found out that we had yet another lesson plan to plan. I got stuck with a group that I am less than thrilled about working with. One person is possibly being kicked out of the class, and the other, bless her heart, has no time to do anything extra because she gave birth a week ago.

Then in class I find out that I have to teach a five minute lesson on minerals on Wednesday. Nice. I hate minerals!

After being annoyed by my professor that relies heavily on the Socratic method, the lack of answers, and the lack of time to complete things I was at least excited about lunch! My mom had made my 'healthy' spaghetti the night before, and I was having mine for lunch (because I am poor and couldn't buy anything good).

Poor S, she spilt the entire thing on the floor and my shoes when she bumped into the table. While the spaghetti was not that important, it was the last straw. I burst into tears and had to run home to change, as well as to borrow money so I could feed myself lunch. Unfortunately the library doesn't offer a refund for feeding their floor instead of yourself!

Thursday
Again met with the evil eye at work when I had to tell the boss that I would be leaving early due to needing to meet the horse shoer at the barn since my father was unable to. Oh well. Right as I am walking out the door to head home, I get a phone call and spend the next 25 minutes trying to make someone in who knows where understand about one of my employees insurance coverage. Thus making me late getting home, so I was met with the evil eye of the horse shoer.

Had a total OCD breakdown at this point and spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning and organizing (my mother got some alphabetically organized spices out of the deal) so as to not go crazy!

Finally time to go to a lovely required concert at IUPUI with a few good classmates, when I get a call at 6:45 pm that two of my employees won't be in. So i spend the whole car ride there swearing and making phone calls trying to get things covered.

Then the concert: let's just say that I do not consider making the same sounds at the tornado sirens that go off on Fridays music, and I got to listen to and hour of this 'music.'

Grey's Anatomy was a repeat. Enough said.

Friday
Sprained or broke (not sure yet because I haven't had time to go to the ER) my foot on my little brother's shoes. Sure hope the Marines teach him how to clean up!

Found out that Jackie O (horse) is not ovulating correctly so I have to shell out $300 in meds to "trick" her in to getting preggers.

Had to drop kick the ladies at the facility that the company does our drug testing at bc she still doesn't have results from a test taken a week ago.

Oh and after he regretfully agreed to go shopping with me tonight, I had to cancel on Josh because I can't walk. Pizza and Sports Center instead.... yay rah!

I am going out tomorrow night for a drink, even if i have an air cast!

I will share with you the hilarious "permission slip" sent out by some of my classmates for this little journey!
