If it is Thursday, it must be Subway!

Oh geeze what a day. You would think after my self sacrifice of Tuesday in Lansing and being out for School Improvement yesterday, the kids would have been decent today. It started out ok but I have a proverbial liar/cheater that will be absent tomorrow. Add to that the 6th grade that is louder than a twice as big 5th grade. They so tick me off some days. They can be real pigs and very disrespectful. Part of the problem is the lack of consequences. The parents are all too eager to make excuses and deny their child's behavior. After tomorrow I will be down to 30. This boy has fooled away the year and is always behind. Mother wanted time for him to make-up assignments and I said "No, not again." Homework policy clearly states, 1 day per 1 day absent and he hasn't been absent, just fooling around. Sorry and goodbye, going to other 6th grade where he will find the teacher gives way more homework than I do. Hahahahahahahaha! I am so sick of my class' behavior this year. I told them today I hate their behavior and can't wait for this year to end. The 6th graders were jerks last year in 5th! I can manage my 5th and will weed out the jerks for next years' class. Totally screwed up my performance of "Forever Ireland" at my lesson today. Thank God it was not recital. It is what it is!!!! BTW, "The Entertainer" was flawless. I will be near the end of the program after all the 10 year olds that are less nervous! YIKES

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...
