No school today due to a teacher work day. I slept in until 2:00 p.m. I am working in my favorite school with 6 classes of students that really do not care. Between me and them, the apathy is staggering. Their teacher had skin graft surgery and we do not know when she will be back. I am hoping for at least 4 weeks. If I can save enough money I can take a job for chump change this summer. If I make double car payments, that is. I am teaching English and we are currently doing poetry. UGGGGGGG. I am so dead by the time I get home. I stand all day and yell at them from time to time - stuff like "Donald, please turn off your music" or "Gah! Who spit chew in the garbage can??" and "Haiku are 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the next and 5 on the last think of Tu Pac and biggie, I know you can do it." My hubby just called and he will not be home until closing due to the managers basement being full of water. I am NOT going down to check ours. All the stuff down there is insured.
My inlaws have gone slightly insane. They have a 16 year old great dane, they found a 6 month old pit bull pup in the middle of the road and checked everywhere to see if anyone would claim it, AND they were called to pick up a harlequin great dane (full grown) from the Humane Society. Now they have 3 dogs, and two humans living in a room that is about 15 x 10 feet. It seems silly, but the dogs are not allowed the run of the house- it is too nice. They get the tv room and the kitchen as well as huge areas outside that are penned in. I just want a kitten, in hopes that it has the spirit of Cricket. I miss her so much. I was thinking about plainting a rose bush near her grave in the back yard - yellow since she was so important to me.
