i just feel strongly that work shouldnt be the Main Activity of five days out of the week

ok but the shirtless dudes at the Brewers game chanting Jake Bauers, the camera cutting to Bauers laughing, and then the next pitch is a ground ball to Bauers, who again is laughing, can't even make that stuff up.

#i laughed out loud #brewers #jake bauers #i love baseball

I got to meet my class today and my goodness are they sweet. They were bent on learning my first name and one boy was trying to give me all the hints for the game they were playing. They had an event tonight that I stayed for and I told them I'd be there, and that same boy found me a little before their class did their part and he was shocked I was there. I think this was the right choice.

#personal #stephanie's adventures to becoming a teacher

I took the day off on Friday and I got invited to my new school to check out stuff in the classroom and potentially meet my class, and got invited to an event that night. The teacher emailed me some logistics now that things are finalized, and I don't know how much I want to commit to yet. Initially, I was going to go for like the last hour of the day and stay for the event (that includes dinner), but the email talked about them doing a rehearsal for the event much earlier in the afternoon, and I'm just conflicted. I've been too into my feelings lately and don't know how to shake it off and just make the decision that I want to make regardless of how others feel about it.

#but the problem is i don't know what i want to do #leaning towards either the rehearsal or the event and not both #because both would be like 6+ hours i'm sure #i need to email back but just can't decide #also need to text a few people back but also feeling indecisive when i absolutely should not #personal

So, back in December, I bought some stuff to start crocheting. My grandma had tried to teach me to knit years and years ago, but I just wasn't interested. So for whatever reason, I thought let's try to crochet and bought some stuff to start. Well, I (still) can hardly make the dang slipknot to just start the dang thing, and I am not super confident in my skills. I start it and then get frustrated after like 4 minutes, so then I give up. I sat down tonight to try to start a dang dish cloth, and I made it farther than I ever have, but it looks ROUGH.

Today I had an interview for a teaching position that was super chill and conversational, and at the end they offered me the job on the spot.

#personal #stephanie's adventures to becoming a teacher #round 2 #told them i'm going to sleep on it #but likely going to call them and accept it tomorrow

so, since we got swept in those awful wisco jerseys, we can trash them, right?

#i hate them #NO ONE calls it wisco #i don't care what anyone says #born and raised and lived there nearly 30 years and NO ONE calls it that #makes me think of mean girls #stop trying to make wisco happen #brewers

Nothing like hormones making you unbelievably nauseous, so much so that you decide to leave work early to go home, and on the way home you see smoke and figure there's a fire somewhere, only to learn that said fire was 5 miles from your own house!! Luckily it got taken care of relatively quickly, and before the wind really started howling, but now my new wildfire fear is what do you take with you if you have to evacuate??

#UGH #i hate this #send rain asap #and lots of it #personal #life #it is so dry here it's scary

Well, for the second Easter in a row, I made a pot roast, intriguing attorney came over, and we spent more than 4 hours talking about any and everything.

#personal #i swear love is out of my comfort zone #i am still intrigued #guys i think i'm in deep

I really dislike last minute notice on things that we've known about for a while.

#i'm in a leadership role at church #i didn't really want to accept it but decided it'd be good for me #anyway we are having treats before church tomorrow #we've known about this for a couple weeks #and i just get a text today saying come an hour early if you can to help #girl i gotta get a roast in the oven before church #that's difficult enough without last minute notice #and also last minute notice on people at this church inviting me to easter #so either i prepare something and get invited and have to say no because i have a roast going #or i don't make anything and no one invites me and then i feel like an idiot #and again we've known it's gonna be easter and everyone knows my family lives far away #UGH #sorry for all the rage #oh yeah and i live 40 mins from church and everyone else is like max 15-20 mins away

☀️ Yesterday and today it was 85 degrees and it's much too early for this kinda heat. Tomorrow is supposed to be over 90. 🥵

☀️ My cousin called me out of the blue yesterday, and it was really good to talk with her. We used to talk regularly but it's been quite a while since the last time we had.

☀️ I took three days off this week because it's spring break and I would have nothing to do, and I am so glad I did. I might need to make this an every other month kinda thing or something. Days off make me feel like a new woman.

☀️ I am the best kind of tired today: I replaced my back gate latch, washed and changed my sheets, majorly trimmed a flowering bush I have that I wish I didn't, trimmed down the yuccas that I also have and wish I didn't, and then took two trips to the yard waste part of the landfill. I have several scratches all over my hands and arms and a nice lil sunburn to prove it.

☀️ I'm having pizza delivered for dinner and gonna watch (or probably listen to) the Brewers and end the night with a bubble bath.

#life #personal #as much as i love the sunshine #i really really want a slow rainy day #and Lord knows we need one or ten here

Lately it seems like everything on social media is getting on my nerves. There was a massive tornado near where I went to college, and there's been so many AI photos and videos floating around of the damage. There's a massive wildfire close to here that people are sharing days old information, and it's just pissing me off. I don't know why it's bothering me so much, but for whatever reason it just is.

#also those stupid weather posts that are like the weather is only like this in indiana #no honey it's like that everywhere #ugh
