Thursday

February 11th, 2005 at 12:41 am

66 days left. I have ONE 30 minute "free" period each week -when the kids are in choir - on Thursday. I was REALLY looking forward to that time today. Sue, (our music teacher) comes in during Math and tells me that she wants all the kids in the sanctuary for practice at 2pm instead of at 2:40, and of course, the teachers need to stay there with them. ARGHH!!! So instead of having centers after Math (which is normal routine on Thursdays) I take the kids out for an early PE/recess so they can get their wiggles out before Choir. Several of my kids decide to lollygag along when I call them to line up, so I'm not able to get back to my room to pick up the sheaf of papers to be graded, and we're still nearly 5 minutes late to practice!! Then of course the practice ends at 2:45 - what am I supposed to do with them for 45 minutes??? I take them outside again till 15 after, then do journal time. My first graders are working on money right now. Today I was teaching them about quarters. Most of them got it (already knew it) but there's this one little girl who just can't hang onto the information from one moment to the next. Anyway, today was a really frustrating day. Tomorrow should be another fun one.

After school today I just felt so down and so tired (yes, still) that I ended up going back to the thrift store and getting some donuts, then onwards to BK for a veggie burger and onion rings.

I'd really really really really like to call in sick tomorrow. But if I did they'd all think it was because I just didn't want to deal without my aide. Not totally true - I'm also truly not feeling well. But if I did that then I couldn't show up on Saturday at the school program (my kids are in it). I think I am going to skip out on Bible study tomorrow night. In one week I do have a long weekend, so maybe I can get rested up then, and feeling better.

My S*x and the City Season 2 DVD came today. Blockbuster sure is fast with delivery. I think I'll probably watch it before my Ally DVD's. Smile Smile Maybe even some of it tonight before ER.

My place is smelling a lot better now that the utility room is starting to dry out. For the past couple of months no matter how well I cleaned or sprayed frangrance stuff, there always was this lingering stinky smell. I think it must have been the wet/rotting tile boards (underneath stuff). They're supposed to be here tomorrow to fix my ceiling and replace the tiles. I hope they're done before I get home.

Mrs. Baird's Thrift: $1.69
