Can't You See I'm Busy Here? Geeze!!!!!

Dearest Confusia,
You have got to be kidding me! When the bell rings at the end of class, there is a FIVE minute break before the next class starts. How in the world do I already have kids opening the door trying to get in when the bell rang one second ago? What kind of Star Trek related device did they use to get here at the exact moment that they should have been walking out of another class? Or is some other teacher letting their students out early for fear that she or he might kill someone if the kids hang around one second longer? I mean really? Come on!
So, I've been thinking about the "situation" that you shared with me via text this morning and was wondering if you have contacted the manufacturer of said device? Is there some way you could sue and then support me with your court winnings? Oh fuck! The little douche bags want me to teach them now. Ugh! More later!

Ah ok, I'm back. I forget how easy it is to get the 6th graders involved in working. They are still young and sweet (or at the very least, afraid) enough to actually work when you give them an assignment. Their assignment is to write a sonnet. That should take them awhile. We are on block schedule, and today is an A Day. A Days are always tough for me because I have 3 different preps. In fact, I spent twenty minutes during my off period preparing for my next class and then realized that I don't have that class until this afternoon. A very productive use of my time. Ugh!
Hhhhmmmm....what can I tell you about? Oh yes, my mom is having knee replacement surgery on February 10th. I'm going to spend that following weekend up there to help my dad out. I know that Michelle (she's staying there to help as well) and I will have to cut out of there as soon as she goes to bed to relieve the stress, so if you have some free time, we should get together. I realize one of those days is Valentine's Day, so you might already have plans for that, but maybe that Friday night. Just an idea. In fact, I should be good and ready to go out and have some fun then. I don't know if I told you this or not, but I have given up eating any sort of processed foods. I'm doing the all natural, whole grains only kind of stuff. I did, however, decide that special events would allow me to stray from that for a limited time. I've decided that the weekend I'm there constitutes a special event. In other words, I will be ready for some chips, tortillas, and guac! Oh, and some vodka....lots and lots of vodka.
