I subbed a lot this week...I like money, I need money and I discovered it doesn't grow on a tree in my backyard...On Tuesday I was in a co-taught classroom and was basically told to sit down and shut up by the co-teacher...nobody puts baby in a corner so I turned in my keys and left.
Then I subbed for Spanish II and I was Senora Georgie even though I failed Spanish I took the job- the teacher left worksheets(busy work) in one glorious day I became 'The BEST Sub EVER' the trick, I made a deal with the

We shopped for jewerly,handbags and hair-cessories for oldest beans formal on Sat-we had to buy 2 sets because oldest bean didn't know if she wanted rhinestone-esque jewels or simple black jewelry. She is getting nails and toes done tonight and a spray tan so she doesn't look pasty-I have decided I can no longer afford her.

I can not wait till lilest bean NO longer goes to elementary school-the drop off lane Nazis are PSYCHO-because I was in the wrong lane one of them chased my car out of the parking lot screaming at me-I just waved at her-I have since informed lilest bean that she will have to get out at the crosswalk and that I need to borrow her Hannah Montana wig

My confession for today: TGIF
I LOVE FRIDAYS!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud about you getting chased out of the parking lot!!
The dropoff lanes at schools are definitely like a war zone. I get mad because people don't know how to do it right. Some people will pull up to the door and then sit and have a conversation with their child in the car for a couple of minutes while those of us behind them are waiting for her to leave so that we can be on our way. Rude!! But I would never chase anyone down, honk maybe, but not chase. :-)
ReplyDeleteCome sub in MY room, Georgie! They'd love you!
ReplyDeleteSenora Georgie, enjoy your quiet evening!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, anyone who doesn't "do it" right this morning when I drop off Little Guy is going to get it (it's been one of those weeks)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny. Thank you for the chuckles. That drop-off thing? It's so far my Favorite Fragment this week :)
ReplyDeleteIn search of real 'rents. Boy have I heard that before.
ReplyDeletePlease don't tell me they get more expensive. I can barely afford the 2 girls now at 7 & 3!!!! I don't even want to think how it will be when they get older!
Being investigated by the IRS? How scary!
ReplyDeleteHola, Senora Georgie! Je parle Francais. Je ne parle pas Espangne. J m'excuse. Bien sur, Je t'aime!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I do not chase moms down, but I have been chased down after honking at a lady holding up the drive through lane... ironically stopped right next to the sign that says "No Parking or Stopping."
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thejohnsonfamilyupdate.com/2009/02/sometimes-i-wonder/
Sorry it's taken me so long but TODAY I realized that you aren't linked on my blog. You will be in about 2 minutes.
ReplyDeleteGirl, your hair already looks like Hannah Montana... maybe you should go with a Whitney Houston type wig! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at Middle Bean's comment about looking for his real family!!
Good for you for not letting that hag put 'baby in the corner'!
Glad you survived your week!! I missed you. Enjoy the quietness of your home tonight!
Good Grief! Drop-off Nazis? You're scaring me, Senora. Enjoy your "night off"!
ReplyDeleteI try to be a good sub too! The last time I subbed they were in a weird mood though. Nothing will save you on those days:)
ReplyDeletei bet oldest bean is going to look amazing. i hope you get some photos.
ReplyDeleteyou handled the class brilliantly. i used to sub for the high school and it really is like negotiating with terrorists.
I remember the car pool lines...not fun! Enjoy you night....sometimes those are so fun!
ReplyDeleteA night without the hubby and kids....fabulous!
ReplyDeletei have the whole weekend with my kids and hubby. whatever will i do with myself?!? HA!!!! i'm sure i'll think of something!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if my Nigerian Brother needs to loan you some money! Sorry to hear the IRS is looking into you, that cannot be fun!
ReplyDeleteTake a pic of you in the Hanna Montana Wig, I would love to see it :)I can just picture you waving at the crazy chasing you down LOL
Enjoy your evening of freedom!
ReplyDeleteThese are too funny!
ReplyDeletecan't afford her...lol!
left your sub job! ha!
Give those parking lot drop off ladies a little tiny bit of power and they will abuse it...whenever I oops-ed into the wrong lane I'd smile...and wave...and smile...and mutter the worst cuss words I could think up. Made my day a little less aggravating.
ReplyDeleteBeanless and hubby-less...I smell a Georgie post!
Oh, my dear... there ARE words for being beanless and husbandless... words like: peace, quite, joy, rapture!
ReplyDeleteI got audited by the irs when I was 16 for a waitressing job I had. Who audits a 16 year old? People my backside!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud about the drop off lane nazi because we have them too. I arrive at school EARLY so I can park and make chickie boy walk up. I can't deal with them.
Have a great weekend!
I used to love subs like that . . . thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeletehave a great night alone!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you guys don't live in Dallas. I too got berated yesterday for being in the wrong pick up line. See, there's one specific one for kindergartners, and then a whole different one for all the other kids. I pick up Oldest, a K, in the older kid line, because the line starts on our side of the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteShould I have to go to the other line, it will take me an extra 10 minutes to pick him up. He can be in my truck in under 10 seconds, yet line Nazi called me out, made me roll down my window, and gave me a lecture like she just caught me smoking in the girls' room.
Grrrr.
Enjoy tonight!! Em
Well, I wish I knew that about the money trees. I just dropped a wad on one they were selling at Home Depot. DANG!
ReplyDeleteYou always manage to make me smile and crack me up...especially when I need it most!
Georgie - you are a breath of fresh air. Good for you for not letting them treat you badly and put you in a corner!!!
ReplyDeleteJacob tells me all of the time that he's going to have to find new parents. I tell him good luck.
ReplyDeleteLove the car line story. You are THAT mom who refuses to follow the rules? I feel like chasing some of them down but have resisted the urge so far! Best to borrow someone else's car for a while.
This post is hilarious!! I was laughing out loud reading each one of those!! Nobody puts baby in the corner...I couldn't stop laughing at that line!!
ReplyDeleteThe drop-off at my kids' preschool is crazy...I can only imagine what it'll be like when they're in elementary school! I like the idea of wearing the Hannah Montana wig...good thinking!
You are too funny! Gotta love substitute teaching. I'm a teacher and I used to bribe my student's to be quiet by letting them listen to their I-Pods. Best thing ever!
ReplyDeleteHR Block...they make it sound like they get you more money than you are supposed to get...that's what ticks me off. If I did it, it would be the same amount. This will be THE last year we use "Those People"!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh....first timer here!!!! you are way to funny!!!
ReplyDeleteenjoyed reading your blog....thanks for making my day!!!!!
i will stop by again!!!!
I love it! I am one of the drop off Nazi's- I'm always running late and these parents are gettig their kids' instruments out of their TRUNK and BLOCKING me from dumping my kids off- out the damn tub on their laps- think ahead people!
ReplyDeleteThe H&R Block commercial where the people have one eye freaks me out more than words- the humongous unibrow!!! We used to use them, but I was bothered by watching this little old lady ask me the questions that the computer program was asking- she did nothing!!! So we have done it on our own- Turbo Tax for the last 5 years- just as easy as having her do it, $300 less, and not much difference in returns at all!
damn tuba not tub- tub would be a little heavy!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking I wanted to start subbing in my babies' school. I am now rethinking the whole thing after reading your "shut up" experience?!?
ReplyDeleteThe pick up line is nuts! My BFF & I want to put stickers on our back windows that say "Get in line Bitches!" We realize that does NOT line up w/the Word so we are going thru with it ; )
Enjoy your quiet night. My hubby & I have not seen Fireproof yet. We do have the marriage workbook/dvd series. Let me know if you like it!
Hey! Thanks for visiting my blog. Sorry it was about TV, I had no idea Pam was gonna say something about my blog or Ida had something more interesting on there! Sheesh. Anyway, I can relate to the elementary school parking lot. Ours in a mess too and we have another year and a half of it. Blah. Hopefully I'll survive without killing someone, or rather hopefully everyone else will survive.
ReplyDeleteOMG i must send you my blonde wig! And we just did the sudit. wasn't pretty. but I can send you my fridge box since I sold my spleen to pay them off. I wish I was alone. I would get drunk and give myself a tattoo.
ReplyDeleteToo funny about the car line. At Matthew's school, there is a no drop off zone in front of the school. (but everyone does it) I don't mind in the good weather, but not happy in the winter when you have to walk through snowbanks to get to school. It seems to be an issue no matter the school.
ReplyDeleteThe drop off lane at our high school isn't much better! No drop off lane Nazi's, just hundreds of teens learning to drive. Molly has to take the bus most of the time!
ReplyDeleteI would have walked out of that classroom too. I hope that rude teacher had a horrible time the rest of the day! How can a "teacher" have no better sense than that?
Good job on saving the class at the new school, and scoring points at home too~
I hope you have a restful evening~
♥, Lilly
Sounds like a good week overall, and you do sound like the coolest sub ever. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't afford her....I love it. I have a soon to be 8 year old who will soon be like this. I'm afraid, very afraid.
ReplyDeleteThat's rough about the IRS. I'm sure everything will be fine.
ReplyDeleteVacation planning is fun but at the same time can get crazy with all the choices out there. I'm in the same boat except our funds are a little limited so it's more about where can we go by car?
I love the story about the pact you made in the Spainish class.
ReplyDeleteAre you REALLY being audited? That's horrible! We've been through that twice, and it ain't no fun!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you are treated unfairly by them, contact your Congressman or Senator and ask for help.
I am a survivor of not one, not two, but three audits. Don't give an inch, provide everything they ask for, and if possible and you are being audited from another state, go into your local office and ask for your case to be transferred. It only takes a letter to get the case local and then you can talk to someone face to face, it makes all the difference. Good luck!!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to leave you comments all weekend and for some reason this little comment box would not come up! block your ears mom - I'm fixin to say a bad word!!
ReplyDeleteSHIT, DAMN, and CLUCK!
Now that I can leave comments, I have to go back and reread everything. Son of a beachnut.
Oh, I remember one thing I was gonna say. Tell middle child - aka Reese - to come on. I'm his real rent. You should stop keepin it a secret.
