Geeze Loueeze

Been working after school in my room for a couple hours a day getting everything ship shape for the state audit in April. Do this do that but don't worry about it. They say I need a meeting place for my 30 adult-sized kids on a rug....hahahahahahahahahaha! I barely can walk in my pint-sized room with double everything for 5/6. Another cabinet to cram all the crap we have been given from the latest grant $ for the latest stuff. That will so make me a better teacher..more crap. I am lucky to teach the basics to 2 classes every day. What we need are smaller classes and more help...go figure. It is such a simple solution, yet no one has thought of it. I spent over 2 hours last night correcting papers, posting grades and just catching up and more to do tonight. It never ends. June, July, August! However, after the last day being June 16th, I start Math class for 7 days the very next day and then agreed to teach writing camp again so I will be free by July 10th and PLEASE no school improvement meetings all summer again. I know, I have a job and a damn good one but, I earn my $ and I dare ANYONE to sit with me for one day to understand why! One of my boys attacked a girl today and was beating her in the face for winning at dodgeball (not me, gym) but I witnessed it and he got 2 days off! While I was out last Friday, one of my girls got in a fight and told the principal to F off and got 10 days and her mother said she was never coming back to this F ing school. ( I can only hope!) Another one of my girls lied and cheated and got all mad when written up...yes, June, July, August. I could write a book, or a blog. 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...
