Today is Friday. The gov wants teachers to teach without pay to save our schools. Hmmm. Well, last I checked I wasn't the CEO taking billion dollar bonuses. I am only paid for 192 days. I'm not rolling in extra money. I am paid well for my time, but I am not that well paid. Others in my profession cannot even afford to buy a home in this economy. When will they be able to grow wealth in order to survive?
Today needs to be over. I want to go home and pick up B and go buy the birthday presents she needs and then go out to eat at Typhoon and drink some good tea. I want to work on my quilt and listen to the radio and sleep in tomorrow. Don will be gone for the next 4 days - - that is okay! Maybe he won't be activated.
I think I'll take Briana to SVDP in the morning and then drive to JaCiva/s to order Mom's birthday cake. That would be productive.
Then I will take B to her party and maybe I'll go to Barbara's house. She is planning a Mardi Gras party. I am absolutely not in the partying mood, but I probably may need a little distraction.
Mardi Gras is a dumb celebration. I cannot get up the required enthusiasm needed to celebrate something so heathen like. I am such a prude. I actually enjoy the austere days of Lent. I got issues.
Are government officials prepared to govern without pay, too? Mardi Gras passed us by and I didn't even realize it. I love Lent because what it leads up to - God's saving Grace and His miracle of rising!
