So I haven't written in a while. My thyroid is making me exhausted; meanwhile I have had to get ready for a new school year. Those two things together have not left me energy to blog.
So sorry you missed the whole flea invasion. They infiltrated my luggage during our vacation at the cabins, then began to eat me alive. I believe I have killed them all, but there is always a chance there may be some eggs out there waiting for a counter-attack.
Tomorrow is our first day of school. The two other teachers from my school got other jobs, leaving just me. One new teacher has been hired; the other classroom will start out with a sub - the very sub I want for my room when I'm out for surgery. And the school board is starting action to close our school due to the levy failure. This may very well be the last year for our school to be in operation. Oh, and one of my kids has a new diagnosis - turns out he's autistic. I have 19 kids total, heavy on the boys. All my 'good' kids have moved on to fourth grade. Yeah, it is shaping up to be a funfunfun year.
I'm not sure how I'm going to get through these first 8 days of school before my surgery. Yesterday I went in to school, making copies and trying to get everything ready to start. I had planned to then go into town and pick up a few things, but I was just too tired. Did the grocery shopping today, and a load of laundry, but the rest of the time I'm been napping or resting.
I hope I'll be up for a big day tomorrow.
Wow! I'm glad the other teachers got other jobs, but that totally stinks for the school (and for you) to deal with that so late in the game. Your poor principal!
ReplyDeleteJust take things slow. Those first 8 days don't have to be perfect.
