Teaching

Everybody thinks teaching is so easy and but hate to tell you it is not. I have been teaching 5 years in this school district and every year we have new hoops to jump through. We have parents who except us to make a phone call when there kid gets a little bit behind.  I think that parents don't always understand we have a life outside of school.  Just my little pet peeve of the day.

What a week!!

My week started last Sat/Sun when Jayson decided to not use his brain and get in trouble with the cops.  However, he did what he was suppose to and the cops decided to use his statement against another kid and he didn't get arrested.  We also have an 18 yr old living with us for indefinite period of time.  We spent Sat night, all day Sunday, and Monday waiting to see what would happen.  Thank goodness as I said earlier they are going to use him as a witness. On Tuesday, I get a call from Jeff and his back went out. I had to go get him from work and take him to the er to get a shot.  While I was with him, the teacher that is suppose to be in study hall with me never showed up and my study hall was left alone for 30 minutes.  On Thursday, I am trying to get stuff printed for my meetings on Friday and couldn't get a printer to work at school if my life depended on it.  So by the time Thursday night got here, my migraine had started and Friday morning it was horrible. I get into my meeting Friday afternoon and thought I had everything and of course I didn't.  I was never so glad for a week to be over but nope things got bad on Sat.  Jeff was walking from the living room to the kitchen when all of sudden he went to his knees.  He had such pain, he couldn't move and we had to get his cane, which we had to buy after Tuesday.  Which kind of stunk because we didn't get to go to a cookout because of the pain.  Hopefully this week starts off better today.
