warning!! difficult day!! proceed at your own risk!

so today . . . was not my favorite day. it started out annoying and just got worse.

i could run down all the details for you, but somehow i don't think they would make any of you laugh. here's the reader's digest condensed version.

first of all, i had to lead music time. again. that is two days in a row. leading music time is not my favorite thing to do. in fact i dread it. and did i mention that i had to do it two days in a row?!?!

then i had to work with a substitute in my class today, because the other teacher was out sick (which is also why i had to lead music. again.) she was a good substitute, and once we got organized, the classroom actually ran really well--it was quiet, the kids got everything done they were supposed to do, and we were right on schedule. but i felt kind of stressed, trying to teach two classes. simultaneously.

i was hungry about 11:00 and needed food, and all i could find were m&m's and a granola bar that i am saving for an emergency. i almost decided that this was an emergency, but then i found some stale pretzels and cheese sauce to dip them in. so i ate that. it wasn't the best snack i have ever had, but at least it kept me from starvation.

by lunch i was really hungry, but i was too cranky to risk leaving school and interacting with a disembodied fast food drive thru voice, so i just ate leftovers and drank one of my two emergency sodas. this took me through the afternoon . . .

when i got home, i walked the dogs. the sun was out, but the wind was cold. that was ok though, because when i walk the dogs i get hot, so it all worked out. it was actually kind of pleasant.

THEN i had to go back to school for a staff meeting. it was not a good way to end my day. usually i think a nice detailed memo would be a much better way to impart the information that we get at a staff meeting, but in case you haven't noticed, i am not in charge of the world! i don't know why . . .

this turned out to be an especially frustrating meeting for me. i'm not going to rant and rave about it here--i've already done that, and i'm sure poor rollie wishes he had been asleep when i got home! so i am not in a very good frame of mind . . .

and i hate that, because i want my blog to be fun. i want it to make you laugh, and think, "i can't wait to read it tomorrow!"

but when the highlight of the day was walking the dogs, i know i am in trouble . . .

so i am going to bed now. it is late and morning seems to come so early! and there will be "fall out" to deal with from today.

i can hardly wait! (that was sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell . . . )
