Operation Get Fit.... Failure.

    Operation get fit is officially a failure.  With strep throat and other stuff going on it just didn't work out yet. Plus I've just been lazy, i'm tired after work so I haven't been working out.  So I'm going to stop stressing about it and just relax for now. 

    Valentines day was kind of a bust too due to being ill but that is okay.  I didn't have the energy or opportunity to go out and get him a gift with being sick.  That sounds horrible but its the truth.  On a good note, I'm back 100% health wise, no more sore throat, sniffles, or stomach pains. 

    I keep meaning to write in here more, but life has been pretty boring lately.   Strep spanned a good two weeks and I still took it easy for another week to keep safe.  Meaning I went to work but I didn't do much of anything else. 

Work is getting pretty busy.  I'm back on bus duty, but have a new bus partner starting Monday.  That is fairly scary in itself because I'm still learning the route and pretty much 90% of the families only speak Spanish and I can only say "hello, how are you? I'm fine thank you" but in Spanish of course.  My partner is some new girl that was hired a week ago so I honestly haven't even met her.  This also means I'm no longer the new girl which is kind of neat.   We also have the book fair coming up soon so all of the assistants are broken up into committees to get it all ready.  I'm on the "Wish list" committee. We're in charge of the teachers wish list and decorating one of the hallways.   I'm curious on how well the wish list thing will go.  Will parents really buy the teachers books from the list?  This is an extremely poor neighborhood so I really can't imagine the teachers getting books except from a very few students in the school.  Maybe other coworkers kids, and a few families but for the most part who can afford a $14 book?  Many of these kids come to school dressed in summer clothes during the winter.  The director went out to buy kids coats this winter so they wouldn't freeze, I really think she paid for them with her own money but I could be wrong. 

I'm also slightly worried about getting a job for the spring.  To be hired on at this school then someone has to retire or transfer at the end of the school year.  Will that happen? Who knows.  So I still have applications everywhere and I'm just waiting to be contacted because that's all you really can do here in Houston.  Keep those fingers crossed.
