Saturday

I really didn't get much done today. I did finish the perfect attendance stuff and I did get stuff ready for Thursday's staff development meeting. I still have a lot to do. I have a couple evaluations to get done. I need to get some stuff together for a meeting I have on Wednesday. I figure I'll be able to catch up on work during vacation. The paper just piles up. I'll recycle a huge stack of accumulated papers and a few days later I have just as many papers in my office. It's crazy. Oh well. I caught a kid tagging on a step in the front of the school today. I think I scared the "poop" out of him. I told him to clean it up or I would call the police. He cleaned it up. He could have easily bolted, but he stayed and did what I told him to do. Gotta give him credit for that. Good thing he didn't pull a gun on me. I need to watch it. The neighborhood has been very sketchy lately. Sometimes I forget what could happen. No new budget news. That's good. I hope I don't get any more bad news at my Wednesday meeting. I can't take much more bad news. I've been a stress case the last few weeks. But I think I'm holding my "poop" together pretty well. I haven't yelled at anyone (lately). That's a good thing. Five days til vacation!! WOO HOO!!! Next week eight of our friends are going to be observed by the Cotsen people. Good luck you guys! You all are amazing teachers! It's going to be a very difficult decision as to who becomes the Mentor. I lost my debit card. I feel naked (I know, nasty image) without it. I had to go to the credit union this morning to get a new one. I hope the new one comes soon. I'm always losing things. Not good. Some of you could probably take advantage of that. Teacher says "I turned in my data on time. You probably lost it." e says "You never turn in anything on time. How could I lose something you didn't turn in on time?" Teacher says "I was really proud of myself because this was the first time I turned in my data by the due date. And now I'm sad because you lost it." e says "I'm sure you made a copy of everything. Turn in the copy to me by the end of the day. Have a nice day."
