Just Blogging to Post Something New

This past week was long and frustrating.  I'm mostly moved into my new classroom.  The previous teacher still had her stuff in two of the cabinets and the file cabinet so some of my stuff is still in boxes on the floor and on my desk.  I'm almost done with unpacking but still have a lot of organizing to do.  I also had meetings after school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday which I was late for because I was busy moving and cleaning up and the principal had the nerve to make a remark about it.  It really pissed me off.  When Friday finally rolled around I couldn't stand being at school anymore so I left early. 

Erik and I also babysat Li-Li from Thursday night to Saturday night.  Her parents were out of town for a job interview and asked us to take care of her.  She was pretty well behaved most of the time but sleeping with her was not restful because she would wake up several times a night and then wake up too early. 

We took her to Hermosa Beach on Saturday and she loved it.  She was running around in the sand, scooping the ocean water in her bucket, and building a sand castle.  I got to check out the AVP Beach Volleyball Tournament also. 

Then we picked up Mike and Ann, my oldest step-brother and wife, at a nearby hotel and took them to dinner at Shik-Do-Rak in Garden Grove and then to a much needed stroll along Laguna Beach.  While there I found out that Li-Li is a great dancer.  I mean she's ready to go clubbing good.  We were sitting in front of the ice cream store waiting for her to finish her chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles on a cone and she started booging to the radio music.  Even strangers walking by would call out, "You go girl!" 

On Sunday I just needed to rest.  I was exhausted from the week and the weekend.  I went to church, took a nap, read magazines, and took it easy.  Hopefully I'll be ready to work hard tomorrow morning.  Good night!

Oh, my brother Scott started his new job in Oakland, CA last week.  Congrats!
