It's About Time!

I know, I know, it's surprising that someone as obsessed with their blog as I am hasn't updated in such a long time. But, once again the new person we were "borrowing" internet from has discovered us, so we've been cut off again. I've been trying to get hooked up with Comcast through my friend's cousin but he won't return my phone calls.
So, here's the scoop on the very exciting life of Sarah White....
I survived Thanksgiving. I learned how to make pies the day before Thanksgiving with my grandpa (he's pretty much my favorite person on Earth).
School is as exciting as ever. I got to deal with my first suicide attempt Thursday. This poor seventh grade girl was the target of some terrible rumors and just couldn't handle it anymore. The good news is that it wasn't a "serious" attempt. Thank goodness for Mr. Babcock he helped me so so so much that day. I was able to get a list of students who were the culprits and I got my hands on them the next day. There were 4 boys and 2 girls and by the time I was done with them I even had the boys in tears. I didn't raise my voice or get in their faces, but I was able to yank a few heartstrings. Teasing, bullying, harrassing, etc. are something I do NOT tolerate. I was the victim of mean kids way too often during my school career and I am doing everything in my power to make sure that no other girls are bullied like I was.
I also got to see the strangest injury this week at school. A kid stomped on a pencil that had been stuck sharp side down in the dirt and the broken end of the pencil went through his shoe into his foot. There was no blood but that pencil sure was stuck up in his foot! It was CRAZY!!
Moving away from school (can you tell what the main part of my life is?) let's get to the holidays. I am the ultimate Scrooge. There are absolutely ZERO Christmas decorations up at our house. I just haven't been able to handle the holidays very well for the last couple years. My mom suggested Hawaii for Christmas this year and after only a couple days of thinking I was completely sold on the idea. Then Mom changed her mind. So, what are my plans for this Christmas? I'm trying not to think that far ahead, so I'll tell you when it gets here. :) I do have 2 whole weeks off work and I tend to get into one of my moods with that much time off, so if anyone wants to hangout please let me know!
Last thing, I am going on a cruise! When? Probably in June. Where? I found a Mediterranean cruise online that I ma highly interested in. I'm actually managing to save money to make this happen.
Have fun!

Hawaii -- I'm there! I WISH! I've never been on a cruise -- that sounds so nice right now!

I'll have you know I totally have missed your constant posts.

You are the ultimate counselor... you go girl. That's honestly inspiring.

I hope you did enjoy the holidays... can't wait to hear what you did. Best time of the year... presents, snowmen, family, friends. :)
