Kaitie's Open Diary

*rolls around in the break the 150's dust until she's breaded like a piece of chicken*

Ok.....let's see if this works! :)
 
Hello! Thanks for stopping by my diary. I appreciate it. I love that you are tracking your sit ups! Thats A LOT of situps! Do you have abs of steel yet? hehe

Have a great day!
 
^ I will!

I played hookie today---the 5th graders were going on a trip and they didn't have enough chaperones so I know they were going to ask me to do it and there was no way in hell that I was going to chaperone a bunch of kids that don't deserve to go on a trip in the first place. My opinion is this, if you walk out of your teachers classroom whenever you feel like it, if you yell at your teachers, hit the other students, crawl on desks, curse people out, and get suspended at least twice a month there is no wa freakin' way that I'm going to take your sorry a$$ on a trip and be embarrassed. So, that's why I skipped. Last time there was a trip for the 4th graders and I got elected to be a chaperone--which wasn't terrible but I definately want to have the choice to be one or not. Anyway, why even think about it when I don't have too. :)

I have my playlists all set with my iPod, I've got the nifty arm band so I can wear it while I'm workin' out--now all I need is a way to get it to play in the car. John's so funny, he's pickin on me about my taste in music---if there's one thing that we totally disagree on, it's music. He loves the 70's bands like The Doors, The Who etc...and I'm more of a 10 ten kindof gal... so!!! Guess what he wants now? Yep...I think he'll pick one up tomorrow or thursday. :)

Gotta run. Thanks for reading!
 
Hey Kaitie. The end of the year stinks and with the year round school we had to have everything packed up by May 1st--a full month and a half before the school year ends. They really feel they're done and its so hard to get them to work. On a side note they threw out an $11,000 writing series that they just bought last year. They wanted to get so mobile that they didn't seem to pay much attention to what they were tossing. Idiots. You're doing amazing. You've passed the 50 pound barrier--that's great.
 
Hey Kaitie! (hope u still remember me)
u r lookin good with the numbers going down.... i think u'll catch up with me soon lol.... I am bac to get my health in shape again.

Hope all things well at school less the chaperone.....heh. Have fun working out with yr Nano!:)
 
WOW!

I just joined the forum today and found your diary. I am totally impressed at all you have accomplished. You should be so very proud of yourself. You have done a fabulous job!

Off to start my own diary. I will definitely check back in on you for motivation.

You look fabulous!
 
Hey you if that is honestly how you feel than I dotn blame ya for playing hookie...

I just wanted to drop in and say hey - so hey :):):)
 
Hello everyone! I love people visiting me in my diary.... *gets warm fuzzies*

Randy: I knew that'd crack you up! Oh, and so far it's working!

Hello SoontobeMrs--and thank you for reading my diary. You've probably guessed by now that I'm very emotional :)

Cannon: They had you pack up 6 weeks before the end of school? How dumb.

pinkydolly!! I remember you---glad to see you back on the site, it really wasn't the same without you!

Hi Cinderelly!! I totally enjoyed my day off!


Ok so this week is the complete opposite of last weeks hell week--thank goodness!!

I get to school this morning and the principal grabs me and the other director of our Cinderella show and I'm thinking 'oh no she wants us to do another show!!' but no she said that the Board of Education would like to honor us at their board meeting tonight!!! Yippee!!! That's great news! AND they put this big thing up on the school website... click here to check it out (wish they had caught me smiling) ------> I'm so happy!!

I am missing American Idol for this though---the sacrifices I make for fame!! :) :)

See ya'll later!

Congratulations Kaitie! The kids all look wonderful! I never even thought to ask before, as I'm so used to watching the Disney version...but you did the Rodgers and Hammerstein version? That's what it looks like from the style of the sets/costumes. I love that one!
 
*eek* I was on page 6!

I'm down to 150.8 today, wahoo!!! The anti-150 dust must be working!!

Ok, so the following drama is long and fairly interesting (well to me anyway) but if you don't want to read I won't be offended...I just needed to get it off of my chest.


(you've been warned)



Well, the concert was interesting---of course there was lots o' drama.

The Band played well, the violins got their cumupence for not practicing, and the Drumline was ok (they totally panicked at the night concert and f'd up the first song). The second grade chorus was good and the select chorus was...well it was what it was. (I'll get back to that in a second.) So, the Asst. Drumline director has been barkin' orders at me for the past two weeks, telling me how to do things, when to do things etc...I tried really REALLY hard to just suck it up as her being nervous about her first performance. The days before the concert her panicking and bossy-ness got worse and I tried to tell her to relax but it didn't work. I didn't know until a day before the concert that she put together this huge powerpoint presentation to play during the drumline and choruses (why not band I don't know but ok) anyway, her intensity reached fever pitch right before the afternoon concert and she was barkin' orders left and right, telling me how to do things, what to say etc... I sucked it up but was seriously losing my patience. My band goes, violins go...she sets up this powerpoint thing and my kids who are still on stage are being silly, I stop them and turn my attention to another part of the program that I have to be a part of....anyway, drumline goes, they rocked. Last chorus goes and they are almost done, I look back to check on my munchkins on stage and she starts mouthing 'you've got to get these kids out of here' I ignore her and go back to listening to the concert, they finish and I go back on stage while everyone's clapping for the chorus b/c I know the principal is going to congratulate us all. I'm walking up the stairs, she comes up to me and barks 'You can't have those kids on stage during tonight's show' I snap. I turn to her and say 'Please stop telling me what to do'. and I walk off. Of course me, the girl with the crazy conscience instantly thinks 'shit, shouldn't have said that'. Concerts over, everyone's gone, I'm cleaning up. She comes in the gym and in front of the other music teacher and a couple kids she yells 'I'll accept your apology later'. I laugh which pisses her off but hey, I was about to say I'm sorry and she pulls that immature crap? She says 'How could you do that in front of students?' I'm boggled at the irony of the situation and say 'You shouldn't do this in front of students' and I really don't know what else she said b/c I refused to talk to her anymore. Does she really think that I'm going to apologize after that? Long story short, I wrote her this letter and basically told her that in her zeal for a great show that she was steppin' all over people. I pointed out the fact that not two seconds before I asked her to stop telling me what to do 'in front of students' that she was telling me what to do 'in front of the same students'. I also told her that her hot-headed-ness made the situation worse than it needed to be---anyway, she looked really pissed off today and didn't walk her kids to the door of the music room and of course, she talked shit about me to a couple people but of course, why would you talk shit to my friend---who thankfully stuck up for me. I don't really care, I know that she's embarrassed about me calling her on her incorrect behavior and that she now somehow feels 'threatened', which I guess she could resolve if she talked to me. I said all that I wanted to say, the ball is in her court. Anyway, I'm just happy that I actually got to say all of my feelings in a concise manner.

Now, at the evening concert I was completely annoyed at the audience. They talked through every performance and could be seen laughing at the kids and the assholes I was sitting in front of were making fun of some of the kids performing. I turned around and looked at them, they pulled a wtf are you lookin' at white cracker face and started laughing and talking louder. I got up and left and they burst into hysterical laughing---mind you, the kids are trying to sing while this nonsense is going on. Anyway, I write the principal after the concerts over and tell her how disappointed I was in the audience and to try and figure out how to have it not happen again....10:30 at night she calls me. Yep, the principal calls me. She goes off on how the Chorus teacher picked completely inappropiate songs and that she was embarrassed and annoyed at what the chorus performed. She said that she's not looking forward to the parents bombarding her with calls about 'how could you let those kids sing about cigarettes and having nappy heads'....I was like, oh shit, the chorus teachers' in trouble. Anyway, the principal kept talking about how she doesn't want our kids singing about the ghetto etc... I was like *eek* I knew that the music that the chorus teacher chose was not kid friendly but I thought that she had had them approved so singing I wish by stevie wonder (which was the nappy head boy song) wasn't a bad thing. And, why didn't she tell the chorus teacher not to perform it during the night concert when she heard it during the day concert? I don't know...I wish that the chorus teacher would actually pick good kid music but she just scoffs at every song that I try to show her. What's a girl to do right? I do know that the principals going to watch her every move from now on and the principal said that the chorus teacher'd better start listening to her or she was going to find someone else. This morning the secretary calls her over the intercom and says that the principal (who was absent but must have been very intent on this) wanted to meet with her on Monday morning. I didn't say anything to the chorus teacher about the conversation I had with the principal (b/c the principal said not too) but I feel really bad that she's going to get her head handed to her on Monday. I mean, I know I don't like her and all but nobody likes to see people get in trouble. I guess I'll just have to be a good listener (which I think I'm good at) and not let on that I knew it was coming....or do you think that I should say something to her---I don't want it to slip out in her conversation with the principal that 'well Kaitie said...' but I also know that she can be absolutely obstinant and if she knows what she's walking into she might be able to prepare herself a bit---what do you think I should do? John says that the chorus teachers stupid and that I shouldn't say anything to her.



Edit: Ok so the asst. director thing must be bugging me more than I thought because I woke up at 4:30 this morning (cause the dog peed on the floor grr) and now I just can't stop thinking about it!!! It's annoying really because she's the one who's in the f-in' wrong, why am I worried about it? Does it bug me more than I thought that she's mad that I wrote out my feelings and pointed out the irony of the situation? Am I a little nervous that she's going to 'tell the principal' and why should I be nervous, she's the one who's going crazy, all I said was 'please stop telling me what to do'. She's the one who's talkin' shit behind my back again....this is the same woman who caused drama after the cinderella show---she didn't have anything to do with that show but she sure felt the need to tell people how I should have done things---I guess the more and more I see of this woman, the more I realize that she's a freak! I can handle intensity, just don't tell me what to do with my own program. If we're supposed to be working together, don't tell me to do this, change that, say this etc... I thought by writing my feelings down in a concise manner would alleviate my stupid brain from replaying the f-ing scene over and over again in my head but I guess not. I guess I really just am baffled as to why she didn't get that she was in the wrong and why she didn't apologize yesterday. It's annoying.

Edit again: Ok so I woke John up to talk about this and he re-assured me that she's the one with the issue. She's the one who's behaving immaturely by talkin' shit etc... I guess it's just hard to sit back and watch someone who is clearly convinced that she's right (even though I quite clearly pointed out her error (of course who likes to be told their wrong)) talk shit about you. But John's right, a school full of women is going to be a place full of drama and someone is always going to be saying something about someone---good and bad---and you can't change it or stop them so why worry about it. I know that I'm right, John thinks I'm right and that's all that matters. And you know what, Johns right again that if she is foolish enough to tattle to the principal that she's the one who's going to come off looking like an idiot because of her behavior and the fact that she was gossiping about it (which the whole staff got yelled at for doing a couple weeks ago) so...now I'm off to try and catch a few more zzzzz's before the sun is fully risen.

Well the other music teacher was absent today so she hasn't gotten yelled at yet---I wish it would just happen already, this waiting is killing me!

Today was fine, the band finally managed to play Gettysburg all the way through today---a definate milestone, lots o' mistakes but at least they made it through! Hopefully tomorrow we can get some more control on the sound---they like to play really loud *covers ears* Our competition is next Friday *bites nails* I so want that trophy to say Excellent this year and not just Good.

The drumline assistant is ignoring me, well except snide remarks which make her look stupid---it's funny how you don't see a person's true character until you have a disagreement.

Ok, so call me crazy but I'm seriously thinking of supporting Mitt Romney for president. I originally thought that Rudy Guiliani or Hilliary Clinton would be my choice but I don't know...there's just something about this guy that I like. And no it's not just because he's LDS, I just have a feeling about this guy....

Have a great night people!

Sprinkle some of that dust over here too please!

Hey Kaitie, I missed American Idol last Tuesday/Wednesday also. But I heard the great and wonderful Melinda was voted off. So now I could kind of care less. Oh who'm I kidding...I'll watch tonight.

Good luck with the rest of the school year. And way to go on getting closer to goal weight!

So I took my drumline to perform at the math fair today---it was long, way to long to be the only teacher in charge of my munchkins---5 hours straight, no break. Ugh. BUT!! This principal from another school heard the drumline, pulled me over and asked how long until we played again (I said 25 minutes) and she said that she was calling the music teachers from her school so that they could drop everything to come and hear my drumline. *shock* Wow, that was a great compliment!! THEN!!!!! The Board president heard the drumline and talked to me about getting my Cinderella award and then asked if the drumline would play in the 4th of July parade! *double shock*

It's always nice to feel like you're doing a good job. *super smile*

And Randy, you made me laugh.... it really is a silly situation.
