Day 7

I am flabbergasted by how much there is to do to new learning for us teachers.  All of the on-line sites, researching for worksheets and if we can teach on-line, the lessons and games.   It was a full day of work with many new challenges.

The day started out at 60 degrees and is now in the 30's.   I was able to get a dog walk in, lots of emails and colleague connections, sharing of knowledge, questions, posts, logs and trying to figure how to connect with our students that are not on-line.

Overwhelming to say the least.  After "school" today, I was able to get some laundry, cleaning, treadmill, connect with friends and family and a much needed "fish fry Friday" with take-outs.  I am so ready to hit the market and stores tomorrow but know I have to revert to insta-cart and cancelling upcoming flights.  The news is grim in this country for the corona virus but we are America strong!  It is what it is and I cancelled my much needed nail appointment tomorrow and they are closing anyway.

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...

First Day of Summer Vay Cay

Wow Summer already!  Where to start?   So much to do!  Yesterday was in the 90's and we were at Mar  &  Dan's helping to get ready for Amber's graduation party.  Today when I finally got going I cleaned our bathroom and shower, our bedroom and the blue guest room, including 5 windows inside and out.  The curtains are all washed and ironed, scheduled a load of Dr. appts. for Amanda and changed one of mine.  Day went quickly.  Dark, cloudy, somewhat rainy day.  The only people I talked to was the Dr. offices!  Never left the house.  Read a magazine for lunch.  Pretty quiet here.  Sure miss Casey.  The jingle of her collar and tags, the click of her claws on the tile, letting her in and out, checking on her, sharing whatever I eat, listening to her get a drink at the water bowl...it is pretty empty here.  Wish she was still here, young and troublesome, under foot.  It's true, you never appreciate what ...
