Not a Happy Day

The day did not start well. Meg got sideways with the children and took it out on me. I think everyone was crying by the time they left the house...except me. I was just angry. *First thing I learned when I got to school was that there was a shooting that killed the stepfather of one of my students. Apparently a stray bullet from target practice somewhere nearby... Then there was the classroom door that was "locked" from both sides. (The door had to be totally dismantled.) Then there were the toys I had to take away from kids...and lunch detentions to hand out to kids who refused to be quiet during silent reading... And stupid "what if" responses to directions for our "disaster drill morning" on Friday. Things are after me at home, and things are after me at school. I hope I am able to survive retirement! *So much more to think and write, but no enthusiasm. Later, my friends!
