I just found out today that according to the new contract the union negotiated with the district, we will get 4 extra paid days off. Days that would've normally been staff development days.
Yay, right?
No. The deal was we get the 4 paid days off, but have an hour added to our daily contract time. So, instead of attending 4 all day staff development days, at roughly 28 hours total, we'll have 25 days added to our contract, with no pay increase.

Oh fuck. That sucks. I'm sorry. At least a it's just over half a week???
It really is okay, because I'm sure next year I'll have plenty of work to do since I'm getting a caseload and more responsibility, but I just hate how it's packaged like they're fighting for us or doing us a favor. As if we're too dumb to figure out that we're getting screwed in this deal (and about 50 others the union negotiated for us).
I'm sorry miso - If you are interested, we're having a girls Valentines day movie date and you are more than welcome - you will see plenty of familiar faces.
We're actually going out of town that weekend, but thank you so much. (heart)
I'm sorry miso . DH is L's preferred parent--like, by a lot--and it really kills me sometimes L too has spent many days/bedtimes just whining for Daddy over and over.
Yeah, sometimes I think it wouldn't even matter if I weren't around.
I know, when I am gone, she doesn't ask for me at all. </3

miso on the rare occasions I pick him up from daycare, the first thing he says is "I want daddy!" and tries to refuse coming with me.
It really sucks; I've definitely felt like he wouldn't notice or care if I wasn't around. It's hard because he's too young to realize that the reason I'm not around him as much as DH is because I'm working with a long commute. I'm the breadwinner--there's nothing much I can do to be home more than I am (except hopefully move us closer to work).
Do it! I just dyed my hair last night going from my summer (yes I realize it's February) blonde to the actual color of my roots and I love it! It covered all those pesky greys that were popping up and is just a much nicer consistent color now.
I did it... Now we have to wait for it to dry, lol. I don't own a blow dryer. #curlygirlproblems
How did it turn out and what did you use? I need to do mine soon.
I finally sucked it up and ordered my first pair of Tieks. I can't wait to see how comfy they are for myself.
is it wrong that I hope you hate them so I don't want to buy some?
I want the Arabian Nights ones so so so badly. But they're $345! No. But I'm planning on looking for them on ebay once they've been out a while. I made the pic small but they're irridescent.
