Falling off the planet

I just love that saying.  It's my mantra and I have not idea where it came from.  In all seriousness, this fall I feel like I have done that.  I am so busy each and every day.  Work is intense.  My class is huge this year with 30 little beings that want my constant attention.  I have families that are about to become homeless, alcoholic grannies, children who are in the middle of custody battles, and that just touches people in the Mann Elementary Community.  DPS is crumbling before our eyes.  Vendors haven't been paid so I have no workbooks and have to copy everything.  We are now down to 1 copier in our building.  Did I mention that our contract is up this year and we will be negotiating a new one?

And then there is Ben.  Hebrew school, Sunday school, football practice and games.  We are never home!  I run from predawn till sometimes after 10:00 at night.  This is just a little crazy, huh?

Maybe it is time for me to fall off the planet just for  a little while-maybe a weekend?

And she does a knock-out job, too. I can vouch for my sis!
