Nothing much new has been happening here with us. I'm just counting the days down until summer vacation. Yesterday was interesting. I kept putting my foot in my mouth throughout the day. The girl that took Tom's spot (another Title I tutor that left on Friday for another higher paying job--which seems to be the trend around here) is the one I told ya'll about earlier that lost her baby the week before her due date (such a tragedy). She broke down crying yesterday morning and I'm guessing it was just another emotional relapse of what she had lost and the other title I ladies went to console her. I didn't know what to do or say so I just stayed sitting in my chair kind of at a loss for words. Later that morning, I sat next to her when I had a chance and just checked in with her and made sure she was okay. What does another person say to one who has just lost a baby? I don't know and it just made things worse as I was talking to her and I just couldn't SHUT UP! Argh...I was so frustrated with myself after that.
The next thing was when I said happy birthday to a teacher who's turning 50 this next week and her husband and some other teachers were wanting to throw her a surprise party. They were going to start out by taking her to a restaurant/bar for drinks (and she knew about the drinks but she thought they were going for another reason). Well, as I was leaving the school, I saw her in the hallway and said, "Happy Birthday!" and gave her a hug. She said her birthday isn't til Wednesday and I would see her. I said that it was an early birthday wish. Luckily, I didn't say anything about a party but the teachers that were standing around her and me gave me that look of panic like, "Shut up now while you're ahead!" hahahaha....I felt like such an IDIOT! I just had to get out that school before I got myself into anymore trouble. Oh well, I don't think she caught on anyway. I was able to play it off pretty well I think. WHEW!
Well, guess that's about it though. Nothing much else has developed here. I just thought I'd write since I haven't written for awhile. Sorry if it wasn't as interesting. :)
