My Mother will not be surprised...

I have developed a nasty cold and as I leave in about 20 hours, I would appreciate your prayers a lot.

A poem for the last day of school

A Teacher's Lament

Don't tell me the cat ate your math sheet,
And your spelling words went down the drain,
And you couldn't decipher your homework,
Because it was soaked in the rain.

Don't tell me you slaved for hours
On a project that's due today,
And you would have had it finished
If your snake hadn't run away.

Don't tell me you lost your eraser,
And your worksheets and pencils, too,
And your papers are stuck together
With a great big glob of glue.

I'm tired of all your excuses;
They are really a terrible bore.
Besides, I forgot my own work,
At home in my study drawer.

UGH.

Worst field trip of my life. I don't even have energy to write it all out or re-tell it again for the 50th time. Let's just say: zoo, heat, lost parent drivers, kids having to wait 45 minutes with nothing to do, unreliable zoo educator who cancelled on us, lost kids, irresponsible chaperones, parents not respecting or cooperating with us, kids who don't get along, parents bad attitudes, and a kid getting beaten up by random hungarians on the playground.


It was quite a day.

Oh my goodness

I just spent almost 12 hours at school and I am exhausted. I still have so many unit plans to do and so much else that is not unit plans that I need to do. Please pray for me:)

I come home in less than 2 weeks. I'm almost tempted to put my to do list on here so I could mark things off and we could be excited together but I don't know if I have time, ha.



At least my kids love me:)












* update: my painful canker sore went away:) My foot is still not better but it seems to be somewhat on the way. Thanks for the prayers!
