Will I ever get done?

I know I haven't posted for about a week now but man have I been busy. I went back to my classroom last Monday for the first time all summer. I thought with being there the whole week I would be done and be able to bum around this week...yea right...I thought wrong. Needless to say I am going in tomorrow.

Monday and Tuesday went well. Got lots of stuff done. Once Wednesday came it all went downhill. First of all on Wednesday as I was leaving my house my mom called to tell me that she left her medicine at home and could I drop it off. Now you see my mom had a liver transplant in 1998 so how could I say no to bringing her meds to her. Once I left my mom's work my hubby and I drove downtown to Kinko's to pick up my new calendar. I bought this great new calendar set from smilemakes only it was too big to fit into the laminator. My only other choice was to take it to Kinko's. So after I left Kinko's I journeyed to school. It's now about 10:30 when hubby and I arrive at school only to have to leave by 12:45 to take our son to his check-up at the doctor. As you can tell, I didn't get much done.

Now comes Thursday...I get to school with my coffee and my blueberry muffin all ready to get busy when here comes my friend who teaches 5th grade (not looking too happy). She approaches me and says "you're not gonna be too happy". She proceeds to tell me that there is no electricity in the building until at least noon. So what am I supposed to do?...I already dropped my son off at the babysitters (can't get the money back for the day) and I really wanted to get into school. Well we did the next best thing...we went to the nail salon and then to the mall :)

Finally about 1:00 we arrived back at school with full electricity and no motivation to do anything. Are you surprised? I ended up staying till about 3:00.

I did go to school on Friday and got a lot done. I also made the mistake of looking through the porfolios of my new kiddos. I never do this only because I already know my kids from when they were in Kindergarten. This year is different because of the merger. I knew when I opened the box I should not have.

Until the next post...
