Just Another Day at the Schoolhouse...

Sometimes I think I work at a zoo!  No wonder my feet hurt all the time.  I feel like I stamp out brush fires all day!

This morning, one of my young ladies--who was supposed to be in ISS (in-school suspension)--was at her locker, for some reason, and started to go off on a couple of teachers and supervisors.  She got a one-way ticket home for the day. 

At lunchtime, I was in the hall and noticed another teacher escorting one of my youngsters to the office.  He was supposed to be at lunch but was caught red-handed chewing tobacco in the boys' restroom.  The lies flowed thick and fast.  He got a 3-day one-way ticket home.

Toward the end of the day, one of my youngsters told me a detailed story about how a girl that he didn't know from another grade passed a razor blade to him because she didn't want to be caught with it.  She said she is a "cutter," and it spooked him.  I IMed the principal who came in a hurry.  The principal is beginning to feel like a Crime Scene Investigator.  I feel like a zookeeper!

After school, I ran some errands.  Went to my credit union in Avon, stopped at the grocery store, gassed up the car...then came home to gather up a snack to go to Snack and Craft night at my church.  It's kind of a "ladies night out," babysitting provided if needed, for the ladies of the church to get together and work on whatever crafty projects they have going at the moment.  My craft tonight?  Grading papers!  I turned a large stack of papers into a small stack of papers.  Some day, I hope to have things so much in control that I can actually go to Snack and Craft and work on something fun!

Guess what?  It's raining.  When I closed my car door at the church, it apparently closed on the seat belt clasp and didn't close all the way.  When I got in the car to come home, I got my bottom wet.  <sigh>  At least I took care of some windshield problems last week.  A guy from the roofing company that had messed up cars at school with some polyurethane overspray worked on my windshields, and I got my windshield wipers replaced.  What a difference!  Perhaps I will be able to see the ark I am building now.  The rain isn't supposed to stop for at least two more days, when it will then turn to snow.  Oh, joy!
