Over the Hump Day

Amanda at Dr. today and he agrees she may be anemic. What a day! Did a science project with Foss kits and I have sand in my eyebrows. I have had 4 kids on suspension for various offenses, fighting ect. and one kid pinched another so hard he had a huge bruise. My principal told him to find a new school. I have a couple failing who come to school late, sleep as needed, bring nothing and do nothing except disrupt. Since we are a public school we can do nothing. Parents false promise or won't support us. You know....our fault. And they want to base our pay on merit. I am learning to let it go. I had a father say "well you know, he has asthma and has to go to the orthodontist all the time......... Well.....everyone in my family has asthma and they all had braces and weren't the shitheads I have to deal with. My parents would have smacked me out of the solar system if I acted the way they do. On the bright side......2 of my 5th graders (hope for next year) took 1st and 2nd place in the science fair today. I am down to 25 for the rest of the week due to fights. I have one so damn dumb, Casey looks like a genius! Heaven Help Us. 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...
