A Day At Home - Spelling Police

February 25th, 2005 at 01:05 am

This morning I woke up feeling like death warmed over. I got up and got dressed and even tried to eat some breakfast, but I still wasn't feeling at all good by 7am. So I called my principal and told her that I wouldn't be able to come in. I wrote out my lesson plans and emailed them.

I did a lot of sleeping, some tv watching, and a little bit of computer time. I am feeling better now, and definately plan on going to work tomorrow.

4 of the 5 books I put on hold are now in at the library. I'll have to make sure to stop by there after work tomorrow to pick them up.

I went to check the mail today. There wasn't any. This is kind of weird - I didn't get any mail on Tuesday, not even the circulars, and I didn't get any mail today - usually get the Albertson's flyer on Thursdays.

I'm not really looking forward to this weekend. We have registration on Sunday, which is going to cut about four hours out of my day. Not to mention the possibility of parents asking me about next year - and me not wanting to say anything if theres a chance of the kids hearing it just yet.

I had made a post on another board I frequent. Apparentally I had misspelled ONE word. One of the ladies who responded said, "I hope you don't teach spelling!" I've seen other people get lamblasted for their misspellings, and have always felt that it was quite rude. But today I experienced it for myself - and I've got to tell you, it left a sick feeling in my stomach. And it made it hard for me to read any of that particular poster's other posts without a bit of color to it. I admidt, it does annoy me sometimes when I see "lose" spelled "loose" but I would never call someone on it. I also would never heckle someones profession just because they misspelled ONE word, or made some grammar mistakes. Of course, I now do know how to spell that word without any question, so maybe that in a way was a good thing.

Oh well. Guess I better head back off to bed.
