On another note

As the days go by here, I am finding more and more to do. There is still a sense that I should be doing more and that I am missing out; however I am finding things I like a lot about this place.

First, Torri Hunter. He used to be my favorite Twins' player, so it is great that he is right fielder for the Angels.

Next, the sun and blue sky. Typically, it starts as a foggy overcast day here in SoCal, but it always clears up to sunny and somewhere near 70 with these beautiful blue skies.

Then there is In-N-Out Burger. Enough said.

Another thing I love is that I can dress the way I love, all blingy and stuff and no one even looks at me twice. Also, in the morning when I take the kiddo to school, I can wear my gym clothes and no one minds. This is simply because every mom works out here in the morning.

I am sure I will find more and more things I end up loving about this place, but for now this is a non-exclusive list.

Hmmmmmm

Well, I got my first "bad" call from the kids back at home. Now, the question is what did I do? They are not getting along with their new teacher and feeli like she is mean and confrontational.

I wonder to myself, what would happen if I told them to be horrible, not turn in their work, and argue with everything she says. I mean that is what happened to me after I took the job when she left three years ago.

I feel bad for the kids, but what am I supposed to do. Of course I took the high road. I told them to make a list of the things that are bothering them and then come up with some solutions that would be better in their minds. Then make sure that they take the high road always. I am sure there are some truths to what they are feeling about her, but I am also sure they are feeling ultra sensitive because she is new. These same things happened to me, but I also worked with the kids to make them feel better about what was happening.

I hope things work out for them all or else this is going to be a very long year.
