Christmas shopping...waited till the last minute (I always do). Big Daddy & his friend, I'll call him Napolean (aka. short man complex), went to the Panthers game in Charlotte so I had the day to do things for myself. I haven't done shit around the house but I got pretty much all my shopping done.
Loud's present -- check!
Rouse Family present -- check!
Stocking stuffers -- check!
Not too much left considering my side of the family is short & sweet -- Big Daddy & I are combining presents this year. We're getting a huge stockpile of firewood, fireplace tools (we've been improvising), log holder, & ash bucket. We love our fireplace!!!

A Night By the Fire
Reese really loves that buffalo throw rug toy. You can see how transfixed she gets...
She even sleeps with it...
Have a warm fuzzy evening!! If you have a fireplace at home, you need to get some firewood & build a blazing fire. It's amazing how therapeutic it is to just lay next to a warm, crackling fire!!07 December 2007
I'm EXHAUSTED!!! Just plain worn out. I don't know why. I don't feel sick, I can usually tell when I'm about to be sick but this is pure 100% fatigue. It sucks. I just want to lay in my big ol' comfy bed, snuggle with Reese & watch tv. I took a 3 hour nap tonight when I got home...I'm just drained.
Have 1.5 weeks left in school. Kids are wild but I love them. Had an incident in my last class where a kid pulled out a bag o' pot after class & showed some kids, some of my good kids. They were uncomfortable about it but of course didn't want to snitch. We found out, they gave statements, kid got a simple possession charge when the cops found the schtuff in a tree at his house. It was his 2nd charge that week & he already had 2 felonies before that. He's up for expulsion this week. This boy has SOOOO many issues & I hate to see what could happen to him if he is expelled & sent to the Juve Detention Center. Even if he's not expelled (he probably won't be), he'll probably go there anyway because of the now 4 arrests he's had in the last year.
I just keep telling myself to breathe. I can't help but worry about him. I know I have 120 students I deal with on a daily basis but I get to know them...I truly care about each one no matter how much of a fool they are. Hell, they're in 8th grade, of course they are CRAZY!!! We'll see what happens.
