So I counted the days left in school.  I'm thinking around 52.  Exciting huh?  I had an okay week.  It was a busy busy week with highs and lows in behavior.  Ya know, thinking of my  job today got me thinking to one of the good things about it:  it is FLYING by!  At the same time though, the beginning of the year seems so long ago that it's hard to ( Read more... )

Snow Day 2007 is officially over.  After a day off and an hour delay, it's back to the real world for us happy teachers.  (Grumble grumble).  In all honesty, I couldn't even sleep as late as I had set my alarm; it felt wrong somehow and I basically stayed awake tossing and turning.  Now, THAT said, getting up is still not any fun!  Whether or not I ( Read more... )

As mentioned in my last post . . . the sound I was hearing was Tang getting into trouble.  I just tip-toed into my bedroom and discovered Tang climbing from my bed to my bedside table, practically attacking my Coke can!  WTF?  You wouldn't think that in the bathroom he has two bowls full of water to sate himself!  No . . . he has to go after MY ( Read more... )

I must admit, it has been one hell of a week. For some reason, every day was a struggle. No, let me change that. Monday I went to school and was greeted with a bunch of monkeys and from then on out I didn't want to go back! I managed to drag myself there every day. I found out on Tuesday that Coggins was observed by a member of her ADEPT team ( Read more... )

So here I am, back in Union, living with my mom. Yup, it's just like I'm a little kid again. Oh well, it isn't TOO bad to be waited on. ;) Kidding! I really am trying to do as much as I can by myself. It's amazing how much you drop when you can't bend over or get out of the bed! That's the most annoying thing. I think mom is tired of me ( Read more... )

Well, I made it through the week. Jesus Christ I'm glad there's only one more week until we have our wonderful Christmas break!! I don't know if I could handle much more!!! And the best part: Friday the kids are dismissed at 11:30. Whew! Anyways, I plan to do pretty much NOTHING next week. I'm going to think of crafts and bullshit for them ( Read more... )

Is it bad that the only thought I have in my head (besides I should get a paycheck deposited into my account in 15 minutes) is a song that my kids are singing ( Read more... )

Friday was BY FAR the worst day of school this entire year.  To start with, Mrs. Latimer wasn't there so I had 22 of the crazies all by myself.  Somehow this happened to Mrs. Wilson (the experienced 5k teacher) and she managed to get a substitute.  Please tell me how that is fair.  Whatever, I survived.  Another crazy thought:  Rebecca and her  ( Read more... )

The beginning of a new week. Works for me. I have duty this week (bus) which is pretty uneventful and very boring. But hey, it works. Rico walked outside and stopped to ask me what I was on . . . apparently I was a bit chipper this morning by the time I got to school. Go figure right? Ha ( Read more... )

I'm not feeling too well this morning and I don't know why. We only had pasta for dinner and still no alcohol, not even wine! :( I just hope it doesn't get worse while I'm in school. That's all I need during the first week!! At least the kids get to go to activity today. With rule practice, line practice, recess, lunch, and activity maybe the ( Read more... )
