It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine, it's summertime :)

Hello Friends!!!!!!!!!

It's been a while, I know! Summer vacation is coming to a close and I'm sad.....as expected. This has been a ridiculously great summer. Got to hang out with a lot of amazing friends, found an amazing guy...and by found, I mean I gave him a chance :) and consumed a lot of beverages :).

I am trying to make it my personal goal to have a great, fun, exciting year. Last year was a beating to say the least!! I had no fun, was miserable and just an all around grump. I have come to terms with the fact I will not be getting a new job, which was hard. All through school everyone talked about how there were so many jobs and there was a massive teacher shortage...well the massive teacher shortages are only in like Oak Cliff because everyone is scared to work there. Anyways, I got into teaching to have fun and make a difference and that is what I am determined to do. I am going to continue to ignore my sociopath of a boss who tries to make everyone her victim by beating them down and just do what I am supposed to do. I can not allow her to affect my life anymore because then she wins!!! She is miserable and crazy and there is nothing I can do about it so I am moving on...though I do enjoy that she doesn't know I put read recipes on all the emails I send her so I know when she reads them......which she then ignores and never responds too lol!!! :)
