The Mom alert has been put on hold. She and my dad have been sick. Then my dad was going to help my brother re-roof his house because otherwise he couldn't afford to do it. They're coming out in January.

In January, prepare to see Ruby on tranquilizers, as a result.

So, I'm working on putting together necessary materials for my substitute license. I'm excited about that. I would love the ability to actually get paid for working with kids. I know subbing can blow, but most of the schools here are pretty mean about being nice to subs. If you aren't nice to a sub at the schools here, you can get suspended.

Also, I've seen kids in the classroom with subs, especially in the 6th grade classroom and basically, the bossy girls take the sub under their wing and show them where everything is. It's very sweet.

I don't know that I'd get that lucky in junior high situations, but I can dream. I'm scared to death in some ways to go to the high schoolers because my own kids aren't there, so I don't feel like I'm fully prepared for the myriad of possibilities that are teenagers, but I don't feel totally unprepared, either.

My danged head hurts. I have no idea why. It just does. It makes me nervous because I haven't gotten my flu shot, yet.
