It has been a week and it's only Wednesday...


I am so whiney this week but I can't help it.  It has been a week like no other that I can remember.   Monday-After hearing from several sources that my school was broken into and having 2 horrible nightmares about it, I went to work.  Yes, the glass of my door was busted out but I was lucky this time.  Both my computers were still there and my old-fashioned tv wasn't touched.  Evidently, they wanted the flat screens.  But as I was preparing for the day, fragments of glass were found everywhere and even with help from my Doc Dad,  too many were around.  I ended taking my students to the auditorium for the first hour and one of the grandmother's from my room swept it down and cleaned.  By lunch time, we were back on routine, but it wasn't enough for one of my little boys.  He decides to go crazy in the room and has a hitting and pinching frenzy.  He earned himself several days at home for that little craziness

Tuesday-School was manageable.  Got home and went right into Halloween costume mode.  Ben's PTA party was the place to be and he had to be ready to go.  We get there and I roll up my sleeves and start helping.  Then I am assigned to run the raffle booth.  By the time the dust cleared and I actually got relieved of duty it was almost 8:00.  I was dizzy from exhaustion.

Wednesday-the day started with an explosive staff meeting.  Apparently, the solution to the break-in problem at our school was to literally  nail all first floor windows shut.  Not only was our staff hot about this physically, but also under the collar.  It was really ugly and did not end well.  The bottom line:  the fire marshall was called and should be doing a pop inspection tomorrow.    So...I get home after this long day and go to my mom's for dinner where Lexie my 5 year old niece throws up everywhere.   YUCK!  

Let's hope for some peace and serenity for the rest of the week.

You need to put milk and cookies out for your visitor/s. They might need some hugs too.
