"Hump Day"

[chochiyo_sama]

We are halfway through the week already--wow.  Time is going fast.  It won't be long before this quarter is DONE, and that will end the first half of the school year.  It is hard to comprehend.

Time is going too danged fast.  I'm going to lose some really good kids (via graduation, which is a good way to lose them, I guess) this year, and my heart is already starting to ache for them....

I will survive.  But I will miss my babies.

Sigh

Well, I got a lot of crap done at school today.  My whole desk was covered with an assortment of shit--papers, stuff needing to be filed, stuff needing to be corrected, and just a variety of crap.  While the kids worked on their assignments, I sorted through all that crap and clutter on my desk.  I got all but a small pile of stuff dealt with.  I should be able to deal with the rest of it tomorrow, even though I will be stuck doing breakfast, break, and lunch.  It isn't really hard to do this, and I enjoy bs-ing with the kids, but it hurts my knee (and my back BECAUSE OF my knee) to stand for so long. 

After school tomorrow I have to meet with Jay and Robin for the mid-year English department evaluations.  Robin is not really certified to teach English.  Her certification is in Reading.  There are times when I really wish there was another certified English teacher on staff so we could brainstorm some classes to offer and ways to improve writing skills. .  But, mostly things go okay. 

Because it is Wednesday, the kids got released just before noon.  The teachers cae together in the board room for the Wednesday meeting.  It went well--thing progressed quickly and we were done by 2:00 or so.  I looked up the website for Cinemagic and discovered that The Day the Earth Stood Still was on at 2:40. 

I have been wanting to see that movie since I heard it was being made, even though I expected it to fall far short of the original.  Well, it was not as good as the original, but it was far better than I expected;  So, I enjoyed it. 

GORT was cool.  I'd love to have a defender of the universe like him.  LOL

well, I have a few pictures.

The first is a picture of my new bedspread.  I love how dainty and fresh it looks.



Next I have a couple of photos of Josue with DeAnn and Jim.  He was in too rapid of motion for me to catch his face either time, but he was in very rare form.  Busy as a bee. 





Jim made a big bowl of popcorn, and Josue LOVES popcorn--though eventually most of it ended up on the floor.  LOL.



And my last picture is of the adorable red polka-dot shirt I made for Dave Kelley's granddaughter.  She gets the doll modeling it as well.  I finished off a pair of striped bib overalls to go with it--but I have to sew on snaps and  buttons for the straps.

That's it for tonight.  I keep dozing off as I am typing, and that is NOT a good thing.

Excellent.

An excellent start to the New Year.

I love your new bedspread.

However....I do NOT like the way your cat is looking at it.

I should probably have bought one in shades of cat barf.

Then it would not stain. Or at least the stain would be unnoticable.
