School is closed today and tomorrow for the Polar Vortex. We'll be closed Thursday, too, I'd imagine. Windchill values tomorrow morning will be -45 or more. Thursday's temperature at 8:00 AM is currently forecasting at -20.
I spent last night with my gf. She always packs me breakfast and lunch for school (she's amazing) and so she sent me with food for two days because she's worried I won't eat. <3 Love is real y'all.

It's sofaking cold today. Air temp is -20 right now with a -48 windchill. We still have water and power, so that's a bonus. I'm worried what they next 48 hours will bring.

Back to school today - we do have a 2 hour delay so that helps a little.
Spent last night with the gf which was very needed. I missed her during the polar vortex.
My ex is going to Florida for too long. She leaves Saturday and gets back next Sunday. That means the gf will have to spend a few nights here after DS is in bed. Thankfully gf and I work together and see each other 5 days a week which will make this drought easier.

Is it Spring yet?
I found a hornet nest between the screen door and front door a few days ago. There was larvae inside so I tossed all of it out into the snow in negative temperature. That should kill them. We rarely use the front door because we come inside from the garage. I'll try to remember to spray around the screen door next week since it'll be almost 50 degrees. A heat wave.

You're all saints for listening to me ramble about my gf!! I'm just so happy!
I'm actually excited that today is Monday because I get to see my GF at work! Woot! Since ex-gf is out of town until Sunday I don't get my usual Monday & Wednesday sleepovers with gf will DS is with ex-gf. I'm going to try and convince gf to sleep over here tonight and Thursday.
It's going to be 50 today. It was in the 30s this weekend and it felt like a damn heat wave. I wore long sleeves and a sweater all weekend -- no coat.

NamasteBirches, I'm so freaking happy. It's crazy ridiculous. I know people are probably like, "SHUT UP ALREADY", but we're not out at a couple to anyone IRL and I need to talk about it lol

I haven't had a full week at the school in three weeks. This is another not full week as Thursday are parent/teacher conferences and I don't have to work because I'm a librarian. It was 50 yesterday and below 30 today. We had a 70 degree temp change from Thursday to Monday (-20 to 50). The weather really needs to even out a little. I'm ready for the weekend. Specifically I'm ready for Sunday night so I can be back on my routine with the gf. (Have I mentioned I'm super happy and head over heels? )

bellatrix, that makes me feel better! lol I was miserably unhappy before. Now to be so in love with this beautiful woman who thinks she's the lucky one (when really I'm the lucky one) is just so amazing! We already have a wedding date picked for next fall -- we're not engaged yet (likely not til winter this year), but we both know that's the future we want. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm in a funk. I was hoping gf would sleepover tonight but her mom is having a rough day and she doesn't think she can. I know she's as upset as I am but ugh. Wednesday's I'd normally be at her house but with ex-gf out of town and DS with me that's not an option.
I'm incredibly bummed but I don't ever want gf to feel like she has to choose between me and her mom's health because she doesn't need to. I'm being strong, upbeat, and positive when we talk on the phone when I really just want to cry.
I just really, really miss her and had hoped we could work out at least one sleepover this week. Mind you we work together and we hugged forever in her classroom at the end of the day but damn y'all. LOVE IS HARD SOMETIMES

Broken record!! No school for me today because of parent/teacher conferences. I'm going to school in a couple hours for DSs conference and then to pop in and see the gf for a minute. gf is coming over tomorrow after school for dinner and to watch movies. This will be ds first exposure to gf and I hanging out. It will be challenging to keep it casual because ds doesn't know we're dating, but it's good to start getting him used to her being around. He knows her since she's a teacher at school and he's been through her grade level already. I'm so excited for her to come over!!! --lovesick puppy over here.

I'm so glad it's Friday!
Midwest weather is BSC. It was almost 60 last night and this morning it's 12 with a -6 windchill. My nose is running, again, and I'm annoyed.

So things have been super crazy here. Idk if anyone remembers but I had an interview before we went on vacation for a part time job with a nonprofit. I didn't get it but they called me back to interview for a full-time teaching position for Head Start because the Head Start is through them in our county. I was enticed by the possibility. They offered me the job. The only weird thing about HS is that it's a co-teaching situation so I'm immediately put in with another teacher. At the interview they said I would be training with another new teacher. This turned out to be false. I was thrown in with an experienced teacher so she's all feeling some type of way about doing the job of two people, etc. Long story short... I'm not even teaching fully yet but have been working FT since 1/29. I'm not going back on Monday. Every day I've had a migraine. We've had to sign DS up for the Y for before/after care so it's costing us $, our mornings are straight out of hell. He is insanely difficult. They don't even have a bathroom at this site where I'm at. So anyways, yeah. I've been under a lot of stress. Also, I've realized I don't want to teach either. Besides all the petty stuff with the adults. I don't want to take care of other people's kids. I want to do paperwork. I want to sit pretty in an office. I like busywork not acting like a fool like this co-teaching singing/dancing. It's not for me. So I guess my master's wasn't for nothing. I just need someone to give me a chance. I need people to stop hiring me for the classroom. Lmao & I need my day to start after 9. 8 is way too early. It's just not working. Pdq

We got a ton of ice last night so school is closed today. At this rate we will be in school until July. We haven't even had a "snow day" for snow yet -- it's been cold and ice. Midwest weather is weird. I was at gf's this morning so it was nice to sleep in a little bit before going to pick up DS from ex-gf. I wish the snow day had been a Wednesday so I could've just spend the whole day with gf. I'm selfish!

NamasteBirches, sometimes a job is not the right fit and that's okay! hopefully the right job finds you soon! Thanks! & What's crazy is I followed protocol & emailed the HR director to formally resign instead of noshowing & they haven't even reached out. So I'm thinking I made the right decision if they can't even give me the time of day to say farewell or we bid you adieu, something. Idk whatever. As long as I still get my $ that I'm owed idgaf. Yesterday I applied to a handful of jobs so for now, I'll just hang low.
