I have to clear my mind and get to a happy place. I wasn't unhappy when I walked into school today, in fact, I was surprisingly happy. But then I had to listen to people talk and that just made me irraz and I don't even know why.

Just cuz a kid has poor math skills, doesn't mean they're sped. It does mean that they lacked a good foundation in math, which could have been caused by many factors...lack of schooling, different program placement...and though testing could have been done last year, if it wasn't, and you think it's a big deal, do it now.

I realized that I'm an old jaded lady. Things that a newbie finds a "big deal" just don't phase me. Okay, so a kid who is often off-task was doodling instead of doign his work. I'm not going to make a big deal of it unless you make me make a big deal of it by bringing his artwork up to me and making like the world is ending. Now I have to go over there, bust him, and make like I really cared that much. So kids almost got into a fight...there were no blows thrown, it's all good. Talk to the kids, figure it out. No need make big hullabaloo. Jaded. That's what I am.

I'm just going to try to be thankful that today is Wednesday...it's a short day, it's the middle of the week already, and Dave and I are eating shrimps for dinner because the Endless Shrimps commercial for Red Lobster keeps playing and making me ono for shrimp but not ono enough that I will go there and pay for it.

Kay, let the wonderful day begin.
