Ho-Hum Hump Day

Well, today I am an art teacher. All Art I classes, which means freshmen and sophomores. They seem to be the least able to behave themselves with a sub, particularly the boys. The lesson plan I was given is easy enough, it's just getting the kids to listen for longer than a fraction of a second. At any rate, it's better than teaching Algebra, like I did yesterday. Hopefully tomorrow is a bit better, maybe with last block free, so I can go home early.

Today when I leave, I need to work on more jewelry. We have a craft show this weekend at Barrington Middle School, and I am woefully short on stuff right now! I am aiming to make at least twenty more pieces before the week is out! I have plenty of scarves and hats to add to my etsy shop, and I plan to take some pictures soon and get them on there. No time like the present, right?

I've gone over to Tom's apartment every night for at least a week, and I keep conking out over there and waking up around 10 or 11, and driving home to pass out in my own bed. It's a bad pattern. And I hate leaving him every night. I really miss living together, but I keep thinking about the reason I moved back in with my parents: to save money for a future home of our own. So I will just persevere. I think I need another way of making money. Back to the old job search. Because although substitute teaching provides some income and obviously a great schedule, it's just not enough to pay my current bills plus save for the future. Well that was kind of a downer! Expect something academic tomorrow!
