Friday was quite the interesting day for me. I ended up where I had not planned to be at the end of the day. However every great adventure starts with a beginning so let's start there. Come with me on my voyage!
We'll start with the protagonist of the story, me! I was only subbing half day in the afternoon at Cheers Elementary(the school where everyone knows your name if you remember from previous blogs). I was with the team I did a year of my student teaching with. The team that I feel I would fit perfectly with. The team that has no opening so I am forced to search elsewhere for a job. It was field day so the kids were already wound up and craaaaazy. It was one of the roughest days ever. Ever!
After school the team was gathered and talking so I joined them. One of the teacher can read palms so I asked her to read it. I didn't realize how intimate having someone read your palm was. It was so revealing and strangely accurate. I was intrigued and freaked out at the same time. I did feel a little weird with the other teachers standing around watching. I wanted to ask for some privacy but I didn't. One thing that she said was that I am extremely fertile. That's good to know.lol She said many other things but they are intimate and I don't want to post them online. All you are getting is that I am fertile.
After the palm reading the teachers were talking about what they were doing in the afternoon/evening. There are some teachers leaving Cheers elementary so all the staff was getting together at a 5th grade teacher's house to celebrate them moving on to possibly bigger and better. I tagged along. There was strong margaritas, delicious fruit, cheesy queso, and a cool pool to put your feet in. I had a great time talking to the different teachers and listening to their funny class stories. I would have been happy to end my day there, but no sir. There's more.
The 4th grade team had plans to ditch the party early and go have drinks somewhere else. I was all about that. Especially after the day I had. We went to a little mexican restaurant that I had never even heard of. One of the teacher brought a book that had what if scenarios, would you rathers, and secret revealing questions. I got to learn so much about 4 older women. More than any might even care to hear. I loved it though. I love having friends that are in their 30's, 40's, and 50's! I love that we all can share our lives with each other and all the intimate details of the randomness that is life. I am really going to miss this team when I start teaching. Hopefully someday I will get to work with them again.
I was headed home as the sun was setting. I was exhausted and happy to where the evening had led me. I intended to go home and relax after a fulfilling day. However, my day was not over. I received a call from a friend whom I met through another close friend. She also happens to be one of the lady's niece whom I just got through having drinks with. It is seriously a small world. I love that I can hang out with this 50 year old woman and her 20 year old niece. I am so awkward, but I love it! I went over to the niece's house and we watched movie and drank wine. Life is so good right now. If only it could stay that way.
