Daily Busy-ness


6 AM wake up and get ready for school
*don't forget the bills to mail
*don't forget to print directions to Sierra Vista

7 AM drive out to Starbucks
Pick up school van

7:15 AM finish the copies for my sub
panic when it's 7:40 and she's still not there

7:45-8:05 stand outside my door and collect late assignments

8:05 AM learn one of my students is NOT going with me...an $18 loss

8:10 AM leave with five ASB officers to Sierra Vista Middle School in Sunnyside

8:40-1:15 spend all day in a gym with 210 middle school leadership students...isn't there a medal for that?

1:40 PM collect $220 in coins and cash for our first Pennies for Patients day

2 PM join book study with colleagues

3 PM begin counting $220 with three student helpers

5:15 PM finish counting...ugh!

5:19 PM begin loading coins into the Coinstar machine at Food Depot

5:54 PM finally finish fighting with the Coinstar machine and get my receipt!

6:05 PM return home with a McDonald's dinner

6:30 PM arrive at church to NOT do a lesson because I'm inundated with 25...yes 25...middle schoolers all by myself...and I'm SO tired

8:20 PM finally arrive back at home to watch the end of American Idol and go to bed...why are some days like this?

Gooooo.....GOooooo...that's all I felt like today....GO.

I think you should earn a medal every day for what you do-however all day trapped in a gym with that age group-maybe a lifetime Rx for prozac or would ritalin be better?! You are an awesome teacher!

That schedule doesn't leave much time for scrapbooking, does it? ;)
