Logi's back to being very unwell. He had another one of those not-exactly-a-seizure things tonight. It sure as hell look like a seizure, but it stops when I pick him up and wrap him in a towel. And he pees when it stops, not when it starts. (TMI?) And then he eats like a horse so...

Then an hour after eating he was bad again so I put him in a clean ( Read more... )

Or at least Dreamwidth/LJ.

I always wondered if I stopped posting for any length of time if anyone would notice. Or care. Or if they'd be celebrating in the streets. Apparently the last time I posted here was October 28th.

Since then exactly one person wrote to ask if I was okay. So at least one person noticed. :)

So what have I been up to for the ( Read more... )

 Got word at 6:37 this morning that we can set up our classrooms from 2:30 to 7:30 this afternoon.

Apparently we can only be in for so long and can only have so many people in at a given time.  And also apparently, the other two schools on our campus are getting in first.  Gr.

So we've gone from five DAYS to five HOURS, but it's something.

And it may ( Read more... )

Here's the front... notice the distinct lack of... um... doors!

So last Monday we were told we'd be able to get into our new school this
Wednesday (tomorrow).

On Friday we were told it was being pushed to Thursday. But really.
Thursday. And you can stay until 10:00 p.m. each day from Thursday to
Monday to get things done before kids show up at 8:00 on Tuesday the 3rd.

So Saturday I drove out to this

 So there's about 12 hours before the code INSPIRE runs out for those who were thinking of helping my kids get their iPads.  Right now if I can get about $75 donated before that and using the code, I'll be there!  So if you were thinking about helping out a bit, tonight would be an *awesome* time for you to do that!  Every tiny bit helps and ( Read more... )

Okay, all *I* may need is my ferrets, my Mac and fanfic, but my students need iPads. We have the most dilapidated, old, junky netbooks in the world. And as a charter school, my kids are not any part of that CPS iPad program.

So if you've got a spare $5 (or more) to spare.... http://www.donorschoose.org/project/upgrade-us-to-ipads/1038700/?verify= ( Read more... )

 Oh. My. God.  Costa Rica was amazing.  I've started putting a few things up on my blog, but it's going to be a while before I get all 10,000 pictures sorted and edited.  (Now, that's 10,000 before I finish throwing out the absolute crap shots, so yeah, there's a lot, but there's not really THAT much that I'll be spamming the world with.)

I'M FREEEEEEE post!

I kicked the kids to the curb as soon as I could.  Then I was second in line to get checked out.  YOU GUYS!!!!  I was the second person in the WHOLE school to be certified as having my entire room cleaned up and packed to the specifications of out moving company. W.T.F???  When am I EVER the one organized before ANYONE else?

So I ( Read more... )
