Saturdaying

It was so nice to sleep late. Lots to do. Catching up on Idol and Grey's. Matt arrived safely after a long drive home from Chicago. We were with tennis group but not too late. I had a luncheon at work to say goodbye to Kimmy who is our secretary and is moving to technology after 9 years. Then we had a program for Black History Month and I left that about 5:00. We had had snow again so it took about an hour to get home. Just plum tuckered out with lots to do today. I wish there was a way to divide my classes and work with them alone. It works soooo much better. No prep time again today. That is 4/5 I have NOT had this week. Sure we get compensated but it's the TIME that we get lesson plans, grades, xeroxing etc. done. The teacher for this class comes from another building and is totally useless. She is not there at least 2 days a week which leaves a totally useless sub and never leaves lesson plans. Not that she has any for the kids anyway. I can't believe how long she has gotten away with it! I blame it on the administration. The other prep teacher is suspended for 30 days for shoving a kid or something that has happened too many times. He is old school and needs to retire anyway. Anyone who does nothing but play dodgeball for gym, letting the boys pummel the girls in the face & head and then say "oh they ask for it".....so now he has a sub for some time.....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...
