Snowy Day (hope for Snow Day!)

Lots of snow since mid-afternoon, but probably not enough for a snow day!!! Durn! Fun drive home today. Piano, passed my holiday songs! Hope it keeps snowing hard! Nothing exciting happened except for an ITM that we had for one of my failing students and the parent is not ready to believe that she is ADHD, can't focus, complete anything or finish her work. She couldn't understand how out of 4 assignments with 100 on three of them and one not done at all she could have a C in writing. Since writing is graded only on that it is done, she only has to complete the assignment to get credit. The parent could not understand simple math of 300/400 points is 75% and a C. No wonder our kids fail! It is what it is!

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...

Delta Dog Day 5

 Delta is so sweet and so friendly.  We both had a good nights sleep as she is adjusting.   After meeting her in the kitchen this morning to check up on her and  then leaving to go take a shower, she went bat shit crazy, knocking over the trash in the kitchen in the "hand wave" container.  I heard it from the staircase and ran to the kitchen, her body was in the trash can!   She found a bone from last nights dinner and was frantically chewing and ingesting it.  I am not messing with a beagle and her food!   Now the trash can in on the list of "what to do next" and is located in the family room today.  It is what is beagle is.

Third of March

Already a week since I attended Amanda's rehearsal for Bridge to the Stars and went to her two classes. It has been so cold here this week and I am so jealous that Otto is there and not me! The towed car saga was a week ago already also. Cindy finally got her washer fixed after sitting there with a garage full of trip laundry and visitor laundry with more company this weekend. She will be washing until the cows come home. Work has been ok. Enjoyed lunch today at Royal Kabob with the Holbrook crew. In-service...not so much but at least I got to sit in with the middle school math group instead of a worthless workshop of what I don't teach! Watching Idol and eating my McDonald's chicken caesar salad with a glass of wine. Casey is restless. She was in the pantry the other day and ate some dry macaroni from an open box. Baby locks again. Final weeks until recital, putting the finishing touches on my two pieces but I worry that they won't be ready, even after a ye...
