Oh has this week been crazy. I am so glad it's almost over, but in shock that we only have 8 days of school left for the year. In August I thought if I made it to September without losing it, I'd be great. Thank God for my support group.

This week I feel like less than a friend. One of my coworkers has really ticked me off, so I'm being immature and ignoring her until a cooler head prevails. She had gallbladder surgery a couple of weeks ago and a friend and I felt bad for her and so we were covering for her, writing lesson plans, talking with the sub, etc. Well I call her on Saturday and she's out in Kansas City celebrating something with her boyfriend. Yeeeeeah. She took all this week off on a doctor's note, but then she's going out and shopping for a friend's retirement, doing this, doing that. I could go pick her up and take her home every day with a lot less hassle than I've had to deal with. It's kind of like those people who draw disability benefits but then you see them hauling groceries, working on their house, etc. My trust with this person has really been compromised. I talked with my principal about it, and he said when she calls, she says, "I'm going to run errands, etc. etc." and he was thinking the same thing as I am ... ... I just got off the phone with the coworker and politely told her that my friend and I couldn't do it this last week - it'd just be too crazy. She said that was fine. Maybe I need to stop being so catty and judgmental (like I was all this week) and just talk to the person; it seemed to work just now.

In better news, I just got a call from a fellow church member and I've been invited to help resurrect children's services at church. It will be very liturgical, but on a kids' level. That way when they actually start going to church it won't be a shock to them. :) I'm excited at this possibility, because I used to want to be a minister. In fact, I have felt called to do it on more than one occasion. I love working with kids and I love theology, and to be able to do both is a real neat thing. I'm very excited!

That's that. Have to go to bed. Little brother graduates high school on Saturday so tomorrow I'm headed to the in-laws' house.
