Could anything else go wrong???

I know that that is the wrong question to ask because whenever I do, something do go wrong. But I am going to cross my fingers and hope I did not jinx myself.

Today was my Monday because we did not have school yesterday to take a break from teh Carnival last week. Lex had a great time. I will post pictures later when I have a little more time. It was jsut like a Monday though when nothing else could go right.

It started out okay minus an unexpected visitor (Thank you Mother Nature). I got to school, checked my e-mail, and was preparing for the days work. I was reading through my e-mails hoping to hear back from a school about an interview I had. It sucks because there are 300+ teachers without jobs and only so many positions to fill. I go onto the web site every day, but they are the same old jobs day in and day out. No new ones to apply for. Okay so I am down and out because I am still unemployed.

The day gets started, and Scott tells me that Appliance Land called last night. This is where I got a really go deal on my new energy efficient washer and dryer. This was on April 22 and I just made time for delivery on Saturday. He said that they may not be able to do that because it is a long distance delivery. We are in a different county. This Sucks. So I tell the guy that I am losing my job in June and cannot take off work. He says he is going to try to get them to deliver on Saturday. We will find out tomorrow if this is happening. If not, I am going to have to take off work. I am definitely demanding my delivery fee back because when I aggreed to pay the extra pricew for the "long distance" delivery, they NEVER said they do not deliver on Saturdays.

I then finish "The Giver" with the class- sad part included. It was all I could do not to cry when Jonas decided to take Gabriel with him away from the community and when they reached another community who was celebrating Christmas and how they would have a better life now.

Lunch and Recess inside due to the rain. Another downer.

Then when I was taking my class to the restroom after recess, I get a not from the secretary saying a woman from a law firm here in MD called. I knew right away what it was. This is the 7th case of mistaken identity in the past 3 years. So I called back and was told they were gining me a courtesy call about a debt of mine that was going to collection. First of all I have no debt going to collection. I pay my bills in full every month!! I let her do her speech, but when she said this has to do with a credit account for a company that does credit cards for places like Best Buy and J.C. Penny I knew this was not me. I do not have credit cards at those places. I told her that. Then she decided to verfy that I was who they were looking for. Go figuer, I am not. She asked if I lived on a street near school, I said NO, then she asked about the last four digits of my social. Guess what, THEY did not match, but they did match the person I had a phone call about in February from Torrance, CA. At this point I lost it and began to cry because it is so embarrasing to have these calls at work. Luckily people know me and know that these calls are not for me. I explained to the woman on the phone that this is just frustrating and annoying. She said that there is really nothing I can do because they just search for the name in the area and call any place. TO me this is harassment because it is not me!!

So I think I am going to a Delegate friend of ours to see if there is anything I can do.

That was my day. It sucked. Not only does all this happen but I am constantly getting the feeling that people think I know nothing about my kids when I really do. I am just a human incubater for the children, nothing else. I do not want to know everything though. I want to learn on my own and I have Scott to help out as well. I think we are great parents. Is Lex potty trained yet? No but he will be one day. It has to click with him. He will be potty trained by the time he goes to school. I think children need to play and have fun, that is how they learn after all. It may click this summer, it may not. We will see. I am patient.
