Good Evening, Flowers!
I will chat with you while I wait for a load of clothes in the dryer; I want to catch them before they are too dry so have the timer set.
It's been another rainy-gloomy day in my corner of the world. Lots of kids were gone today -- all state misicians, college visits, tech. school visists, etc. I was on the run the same as any other day -- I've had a kid coming in before school for help with algebra and also have him in a study hall later in the day. I'm beginning to feel like we are joined at the hip! I tried to get him to go to the algebra teacher but he said he liked me best. Lucky me! Hah! He really slows me down on the things I try to do to get ready for the day though.
"Gma" -- It sounds like you and T had a good time yesterday! I think you are just a kid at heart! Our school doors are wide open and there are 9 outside doors that I can think of off hand. Someone could come in the back side of the school and no one would ever see them until it was too late. They've talked about locking some of the doors but the newer doors have different locks and not all the teachers come and go from the same side of the building -- we have high school parking on 3 sides and a junior college is connected on the 4th side so some of our students also park there. So far we don't have to wear ID tags but I know some schools are requiring that both teachers and students do so. Not a bad idea -- every once in awhile we'll get a notice that "so and so" shouldn't be in the building and if we see them we should contact the office. Most of the time I have no clue who the kid is so wouldn't know him if I saw him.
We are leaving fairly early tomorrow morning. I want to do some Christmas shopping before Ian's party in the afternoon. I have a list and hope I can get some of the things crossed off. At lunch today someone said there is only 38 days until Christmas! YIKES!
My timer is beeping so better go. I hope you all have a nice weekend!
