shitballs

Ok , I am so sorry that the week has passed me by and there has been so much going on my head is spinning! I finally got a chance to teach this week for 3 days until I was pulled for school improvement committee this morning. I had to start over! My kids told the restorative justice teacher that "she is never here" How sad. I am out tomorrow for more school stuff and Monday to work on a report for the state. I have never been so torn. This is sooooo hard. I am behind in everything, my room is a mess after 4 weeks, we have the MEAP in 2 weeks and I am so ready to take some time off. The longer I teach, the harder it is getting and then......I was asked to be on the district school improvement team. I don't know whether to be flattered or flip-out. How much can one person do? When will I experience the empty nest syndrome? Gosh, I can barely keep up with lesson plans. My dog misses me! Help!!! I did say no to a weekend in Ft. Wayne for a handbell festival since I missed several rehearsals (one wedding/airport related) and the music is so hard I want to cry. I just can't do everything. I am only one person yet super teacher/super mom??????? It is what it is

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
