Today should have been a Monday instead of a Wednesday. It was an all around crappy day. Lots of little things happened today that made today one of those days that you wish you could have just crossed off the calendar
#1...The football coached didn't send my TAKS kids until the period was almost over. It really annoys me that they feel like their football practice is more important than sending the kids to our class. The problem is that the kids see the coaches not care about our class therefore they don't care and give me and Gary a hard time in the short 25 minutes we have them. I could go on and on about this but I will spare you.
#2…My second period class is driving me nuts. We have been doing solving equations now for 5 days. I still have kids who are clueless as to how to start working it. They have plenty of opportunities to get help and they are too lazy to do it. My third period class is better at it however they are too talkative. They won’t shut up the entire period. And 75 minutes is really long with 11 boys and 5 girls.
#3…The math teachers are driving me crazy. They are basically stressing out about doing their jobs. The nitpick everything!!! It is exhausting to work with people who are neurotic, obsessive, pessimistic, and worrisome all the time.
#4…My last period of the day is athletics. It was going really well until the last shot attempt in a fun game of basketball. As two girls were going for the ball, they both fell over each other and one ended up smacking her head against the wall…cement block wall. Great!!! She was fine but the bad part is when another guy coach was on my case about calling her mother. He thought I should have called her immediately!!! I told him that I would in a second after I got all my other girls on their way to getting changed and getting the equipment locked up. He kept on and kept on until finally I cussed at him and told him to give me a damn second and to get off my case. I ended up calling the mom in an unsatisfactory time (to him) of under 5 minutes. I even went a step further and called this evening to make sure she was alright which she is. He is so uptight if you put a lump of coal up his ass he would squeeze out a diamond.
#5…It rained today!!!
Anyway I pray for sunshine and a good day tomorrow.

Good for you, some people, I probably would have had some harsher words, well maybe not, I'm getting to old to be mean anymore, teaching is the one thing I knew I would and still coule be good at, if I could just finish college.
