Long day back at work after taking a beating from the airbags. So we have a new counselor in name, she will be approved at the next board meeting at the end of the month, but it will be after spring break before she can join us.
Finished transcript audits on the seniors and juniors over the weekend while I was still laid up. My friend from Verbena asked me how I was doing this morning, and I told him that I had never in my life been so sore. I told him about how the principal asked if he needed to come down and check on me that morning, and how many people from school stopped on the way. He started laughing, and said it's a far cry from the broken ankle. I'm bad about keeping up the blog, but back in October, I was getting out of the car with the Pre ACT and fell, and broke my ankle. I texted the principal and she was like, get inside and stop complaining basically. So when I called her a couple of hours later to tell her my ankle was broken, she still didn't really say anything about not coming to help me. What can I say, it was the finally decision that Verbena wasn't home anymore. So here I am a week after totaling my car, and I've had a lot of emails and texts from people I hardly know, just trying to make sure I'm okay and was there anything they could do to help. I've missed that. I haven't had this since my days in Coosa County. It was a dangerous play taking a job with a grant, but it has been since I left Hanover that I've felt like I truly belong somewhere. It's nice to feel like I'm at home.

I'm pretty routine oriented. I like to have a sweet tea every morning since I'm not a coffee drinker. I'm fairly fond of Chick-fil-a, but it gets really expensive, so yesterday I decided I wanted old faithful, Bojangles. I probably should learn to not go to unfamiliar territory though.
So, now, I find myself in need of a new car. I got t-boned yesterday in Moody and it was moment I never want to experience again. There are no words to describe when that air bag punched me, and there are no words to describe how grateful I was that the backseat was empty. We had debated since Christmas on whether to go ahead and transfer the kids up to Springville or St. Clair. This morning as I'm laying here nursing my wounds, I'm glad they are safely tucked away at Calera. This has been my fear since we took the jobs, that something like this would happen. I was sitting still and the impact, I never want to experience anything like that again. Sadly, I'm missing interviews for Brittany's replacement. We did three of them Tuesday, and the last two were scheduled for today. Brandon said he would make his decision by Friday. The thing about it is, they are not going to move the board meeting, so it will be probably the first of April before anyone gets here. . . . . it's okay. We are rocking and rolling and I'm getting ready for testing. |
