I tried to nap after school today, but it simply didn't work. When Meg came home from her place of employment, we went out for supper and did a 2-week grocery shopping. (It was payday for me.) Thereafter, we acted like lumps. Hey...it's Friday! We are entitled! (Especially since the babies went to Muncie with their father this afternoon.)
I'm not entirely sure that the big "move" is necessary for this weekend. There have been miscommunications. We need a little more time. Nathan probably does, too. He just hasn't thought things through.
I was a little upset this afternoon to learn that one of my female students has been suspended pending expulsion. She is a troubled youngster that I have worked with to keep in school. This grading period, she has worked her bottom off to get her grades up and has an A- in my class right now...but she got sideways with another teacher and ran her mouth... She is on probation from legal incidents in another school...lives with her grandfather in a custody battle with her mother, etc. Grandpa was there, cleaning out her locker today. (Grandpa is younger than I!) The principal made a deal with him that she would attend summer school (as my student) and would go to 9th grade next year...if she can keep her nose clean in the meantime. Ya know...it gets up close and personal when this stuff happens. Hell, she's only in 8th grade!!!!
Time for bed. Thanks to all of my friends for listening to my ramblings!
