Obviously this is not the ideal time for shopping, however my mother wanted to get a few things.  I agreed because I had found out that I was a little under budget with a couple co-worker gifts.  I must interject here that I can't stand shopping with large crowds.  I also must add that I get undeniably frustrated when I find something on sale only to find out at the register that it's not on sale....even though it had a sign right by it....that sign was meant for something two items over!  URGH!!!!  I am through except for a gift for my mother....never can figure out what to get her until the last minute. 

I am overjoyed at the fact I only have eight more days of school til the Christmas break!!!  The students have been so rowdy, and I don't know how much longer my nerves can take it.  Tuesday I will be filming my first video for the National Boards.  I am nervous!!!  I hope that I won't appear frantic, because believe me, I don't know what to expect from these kids!!!!

I've have a huge dilemma!  I was asked to help with the church directory.  The person that asked for help is precious, but .......when I went to see about helping her.....she gave me all the stuff.  I've had it for about two months now.  I don't know all of the people, and I don't know how to set it up!  I told her at the church dinner that I needed help with it, but we weren't able to meet.  I know someone is going to ask me about it tomorrow, and I don't know what to say.  Should I say that it wasn't my intentions to do the whole thing???.....I only offered to help. I don't want to come across as being rude or hurt anyone's feelings!  Dilemma!!!!

Well, I'm off to bed for a little reading!  I never get to read as much as I'd like, but I did buy three new books today.  Maybe that will motivate me!
