I feel like every time that I write on here it's to vent or tell you how bad things are, but they're really fantastic. I say this not because things are particularly good, but because they could always be worse. I can walk! I can put pressure on my foot and I am breathing. Today was a day where I just felt like jumping off a bridge or crying. But no, I am smiling right now. Today started off great! My kids were adorable and we got right through bible. We struggled in math but it could have been worse. Today it poured. There was practically a hurricane. I have never seen rain falling as hard as it did today. Of course, it was while we were in recess. When I was a kid rain was just rain. If we got wet at recess it wasn't a big deal. Apparently here it is equivalent to chewing beetle nut or bringing a gun to class. Note to self: NO GETTING WET! As the kids were sliding around, having a good time, at least two teachers came running out screaming. "NO NO, no rain! No water. What is wrong with you?!". Oops.. A woman who worked in the office scolded me. I didn't mean to be irresponsible or ignorant okay! I just wanted to have fun. Apparently no fun is aloud :] I felt terrible because then each kid who got wet had to call their parents to bring them a change of clothes. They also got in trouble. The lady told me the parents would be livid. Fortunately, every parent was understanding and quite kind about it. After all, it's just water. As you could expect, I didn't have a really good rest of the day. The kids knew they weren't supposed to, but didn't tell me! We had a good long talk about the things we could and couldn't do, as well as how to treat the teacher and how to treat others. They were all sorry and I felt a lot better. The rest of the day was pretty quiet and they loved me again. They were just so sweet that it was hard to be mad at them. They were so good that at the end of the day we played freeze tag!
Unfortunately, things went back to bad after school. While I was trying to grade, I wanted to put music on so I plugged in my Ipod. "No content found." WHAT?! NO CONTENT FOUND! See, I have this problem that I have no music on my computer, it's all on my Ipod. I know this so I don't ever sync it and I am super careful. There was no music on my Ipod. None on my computer. 4,000 songs, gone. GONE. Carl was there and tried and tried to find my music, and even danced to make me happy, but I can't describe the feeling. I know that music isn't the most important thing in the world, but right now it's my lifeline. I love my music. And it was GONE! Okay, deep breath. I went back to the apartment and just about cried. Tammi wanted to go to to Surangle so I went with her. After getting a monster energy drink to console myself and calm down (irony!) we had a little retail therapy. I bought the cutest board shorts and she bought a dress and some other stuff. I even bought her something for a late birthday present. We talked for a while and I accepted that if God wanted me to detox from music, that is what was going to happen. Not a big deal (RIGHT)... But what can I do? When we got home I felt a lot better, and out of habit I plugged in my Ipod. Guess what? ALL MY MUSIC WAS BACK!!! I know maybe it's not a big deal to you, my amazing readers, but to me it was better then Christmas morning. I don't know how it happened, or what even happened for that matter, but all I know is that right now I'm listening to my music! Later on the boys are coming from PMA and we are all going out again for Tammi's birthday, because some people didn't get to go last time. I just feel 100% better, and it's not just the caffeine. That's the miracle for today! Thank you, thank you! Time to grade 14 math papers...yay... Actually, I'm not even bothered by it!
