Here we are again. Summer has ended. Fall is here and it's starting to turn cold. I just don't like the cold. I hate wearing a coat. I don't mind early fall that isn't so bad but when that wind turns to the north and a front comes thru that brings in really nippy weather I realize summer is really gone. I don't like everything turning brown. Don't get me wrong I do love a really comfy pair of pants and big comfy shirt but I don't want to have to wear a coat outside. Defrosting the windows, warming up the vehicles is just not my cup of tea. So now that I am whining we can add static electricity to that. Another downfall of cold weather. Yep I'm ready for warmer horizons and it's just the middle of October. Boy am I in for a big surprise.

I am a full time substitute teacher at our local school. I have been doing this for close to 8 years now. The idea was presented to me when my first husband became ill and I had to go to work. I became a substitute at the school but non-certified. They asked me if I had any college hours and I said no. So when my husband passed away I decided to give college a try and then I could substitute teach. I of course loved college. After I had accumulated enough college hours I decided it was time to apply. Thus my path as a substitute teacher began January 2010. It took me many years and a couple of schools later to get to where I was pretty much full time here. I left and went to school at another local school district since at that time our school had ALOT of subs. I really enjoyed my time there and learned alot. I decided it was a good idea to come back where my kids were attending school and be closer to home sinc during this time my mother had come to live with us. They were in more need of subs at this time. I now work most everyday school is in session if I want. I enjoy being a substitute. I don't limit myself to just one grade level or one "end" of the school or the other. I like the variety of being in pre-k one day and high school English the next. I have done a few stints as a "long term" sub but prefer to not stick to one place. I of course have had my favorite classes to teach in as most subs do but don't say "NO" to anything usually, LOL!! 

I am wanted to add something about my substitute teaching to my blog so thought I would add in some tips occasionally and some funny quotes that I like about it. 
Always remember I like my job!
