Busy Monday

What a busy Monday! I was out of town this past week at a conference in San Antonio and coming back to the real world has been too busy for me. In case any of you are wondering- America's children are being educated by a bunch of drunks (just thought I would throw in that observation from my personal experience of watching central office personnel, superintendents, and "higher-ups" for the past 4 days!). I am now happily sitting in my recliner, with a fire burning in the fireplace, watching Little People- what a wonderful end to a busy day. We were scheduled to have our book club meeting tonight, but it was postponed because Kim had sick kids, and because Jasmine was not feeling well. Our book this month was The Secret Life of Bees. I don't know what our next title will be but I am already looking forward to it. Tomorrow looks to be no better than today- I have 2 parent meetings, one at 9 and another at 1- and between that we are doing the state writing test (also at 9- I hope to have all materials distributed before parents arrive- I had scheduled the meetings before I realized it was testing day. I did not want to reschedule.) Then I have to return the testing materials to the testing center, and go back for another meeting. Well, at least Friday is payday! I am also thankful for a job in these times. I hope everyone has a great week. Perhaps my next post will be more "exciting"- wait, every time I say that the "excitement" is not usually what I want, so maybe my next post will be more "enlightening!"
