for the environment. I've been meaning to post about this but well...I just haven't been online. Lol.
I am currently in two science classes at work. I hated science when I was in school, so truthfully, this is torture for me. I do however, enjoy going over things we can do to conserve energy and save our environment. So here's one thing I'll start doing when I remember....
Instead of using Google, or other search engines that use white backgrounds...I will use "Blackle.com", where they use a black background. The black helps to save energy, as white uses more. Pretty cool huh? Plus it's not like everyone has a black background, so I'll be unique too. :) If I can get just one other person to use this search engine, imagine how much energy we save together. I truly do believe that even baby steps can make a world of difference. We as a people have GOT to start re-evaluating the things we do, because eventually, this world will be in some serious need of help. Why not start before it reaches that point???

Ahhhh nuts....
I got the job! Less than an hour and a half after my interview, I received a call saying I was chosen to fill the position and asking if I'd accept it. I started to panic and almost didn't answer my phone. I mean, I enjoy my current job, it's just a bit boring. I have WONDERFUL teachers, and what happens if I get over to the elementary school and get three horrible teachers? What if I don't like working with little kids anymore? I'm trying to stay positive, but dangit, what if I've messed up something good by trying to get something better? Eek! At least it's only going to be a 3 minute drive from my house to the school, and I get an extra half an hour each day. So I get to make more money and save more money in gas. The principal seems really nice though and there's less staff there. I guess I'll be finding out in a couple of weeks...my current school isn't releasing me for two weeks, so the 3rd will be my last day there.
Anyways, I just wanted to update everyone. :)

Not doing too good
on my promise to keep up with my blogging, am I? Things are just so boring around here, and I'm literally tired. 8 months of not working has made me lazy, and then with going back, I just haven't gotten into the groove yet. Then I ended up getting a cold...can't figure out which teacher gave it to me, since 2 of the 3 I work with are also sick. :(
Tomorrow I have an interview at an elementary school. I soooooooo want the position! The thought of dealing with little kids sounds really nice to me right now. Maybe I just need a change from the older ones. I don't know. Don't get me wrong, the kids I'm with this year are great, but it just gets old having to tell 12-15 year olds to stop acting like they're in 3rd grade. I might as well be working with the 3rd grade!
Anyways, I hope that things are going great with everyone, and if I haven't responded to your emails, don't get upset. I'm thinking about you all...I just have no motivation to get or stay online lately. Someone check me for a fever! Lol.

Hair cut!
I trimmed my hair...it's the shortest it's ever been. And I LOVE it!!! It's half way down my back now (took off about 4 inches), and I cut some long bangs to go with the trim. Oh yeah!!! Now all I have to do is dye it, but I'm scared to go that far yet. I actually wanted to take a little more off, but Mark begged me not to (he loves the long hair). So I let it slide...for now.
So right now I have half of it pulled back in a barret, and the rest is flowing over my shoulders. It looks cute, and boy do I miss wearing my hair like this! I used to wear it like a chola (mexican style), but after I went blonde and my roots started growing back, it just didn't look right. Now that the blonde is officially gone (Oh yeah, I'm a full blooded burnett again!!!), I can start wearing it like I used to. I thought time would fade that craziness, but I guess not because I'm so wanting to go back to what I looked like before Mark and I got together.
Lesson of the day....don't ever change who you are for someone else! I never wanted to be bleached blonde (just have streaks of blonde), but Mark liked blondes (hello Pamela Anderson) and I felt like he'd stop looking elsewhere if I went blonde. HA! After 4 years, things didn't change and I was miserable and got to hate the look. I am sooooooooooo glad to be back to normal. But I do want to dye it black (for me).
So anyways, I expect that this is just the beginning of a new and improved me. :)

I knew it was bound to happen!
Alright, before I elaborate on that...I had a VERY busy weekend. Saterday, we spent allllllll day cleaning. I mean...a trip to the dump, a trip to the recycle center, and of course the much loved house cleaning. Ack!
Sunday, we made a trip to Victorville, to buy some hay. Of course it was the same type of hay that almost killed me a couple of months ago (remember the asthma attack or whatever it was?). I tried to go to the mall and do a little clothes shopping (I.E. buy a bra and maybe a pair of pants) but they didn't open till 11. What? Since when does a mall open at 11 on a Sunday? Isn't the weekend a mall's most busy time? So I decided I didn't want to sit around and wait for them to open. Instead, we drove home and went to the store to buy items for our BBQ.
Did I forget to mention that on Saterday I invited Jack up to a BBQ? I didn't expect him to come, but we went and bought food just incase. A little after 5, we went back and asked if he wanted to come hang out for a bit, and he said yes. WOW, didn't see that one coming. He seemed really shy. But he showed up for about an hour and it was really nice getting to know him some. He showed me a picture on his cell of his 4 year old son...a total cutie! Of course the food was cold, and Mark over cooked some of it, trying to keep it warm until Jack got here, but all in all, it was pretty cool.
So that leads me to the title of this posting...I've been expecting it to happen, but was praying it wouldn't. I was told that my entire operation would be fully covered and I shouldn't have to get involved with the insurance claims or anything else. Well...guess what I got in the mail today??? From the anestesia department...Yep, a $1500 bill. Gads! I called my insurance company - who told me that they told the hospital to send the claim to my provider. I call my provider - and they told me that the insurance company should have sent them the claim, not have the hospital do it. So fed up, I called the hosptial and they told me that they sent a claim to both of them. Yep, there's nothing quite like getting the complete run around when money's involved. I'm not paying anything until I'm threatened with bill collector's!!!!!
Work still sucks! I always thought I'd enjoy being with the good kids over the bad ones, but dangit, now I have no one to talk to. These are the smart kids, so they don't really need any help. And the teachers have a handle on the kids, so I'm not needed to keep them in line. Oh hmmm....a perfect example of "be careful what you wish for".
