To say the Eagles beat the cowboys last nite would be an understatement. I have one more full day tomorrow and then 2 half days, followed next week by 3 half days and 2 days off. I don't believe Thanksgiving is next week. Yesterday I subbed in a 1st grade and we thought of words that had -un at the end (like fun and sun), but I began struggling with our list and just laughed at myself because I could not think like a first grader.

I started seeing some other permanent sub positions listed in the paper recently, so I sent my resumes out since they are in a regular classroom like 5th and 3rd. I also got a little bump in pay, which is greatly needed to get by each month. (Thanks Sallie Mae, you bitch!)

In another interesting note...If you knew me about 10 years ago, or if you've ever been in my room, you probably saw an autographed picture of a guy on the Bengals hanging on the wall. He was my favorite player back in the day and I even got a jersey made with his name. Every once in a while I search on google to see if there's anything about him online somewhere. The other day I saw something new and it listed his email. I emailed him and told him the story of my jersey and how I sent him a letter 10 years ago, and he replied yesterday by email thanking me for the inspirational email. What a guy!! Leonard Wheeler, if I ever meet you in person, I will buy you a drink and thank you for being a damn good sports role model.
