Well, another week of school has come and gone.  It was a hot one.  The classroom I’m in is at the end of the hallway and aparently gets the hottest during the day.  I think it was Wednesday that the thermometer showed 93 degrees.  What work can you expect to get done in that kind of heat?  Thank goodness it cooled off on Friday, and we got caught up with my lesson plans.

It’s been quite an experience, and I’m glad I took the position because I’ve learned a lot so far.  Audi and I did decide that this will be my last long-term assignment.  I will sub sporactically the rest of the school year, but nothing consecutive.  Last week on Friday, Jayden faked a fever somehow, and I had to leave school at 11:30 to pick him up.  He was fine - meaning he was jumping off the couch with no trace of a fever - by 1 pm.  This Friday Josie managed to throw up as I was pulling onto the on-ramp of I-75.  I had to get on the highway just to turn around and take them back home.  It’s been tough on Audi because we had planned Fridays to be a catch up on homework day since I’d be at school and the kids would be at the sitters, and so far that hasn’t happened.  Because I won’t be subbing as much, I’ll start researching home schooling.  That’s the plan for Jayden next year due to the fact that his birthday is eleven days past the cut off for Kindergarten enrollment.  I might take him to Kindergarten Screening anyway just to see how he does with another teacher.

So anyway, life has been a little chaotic, and I’m looking forward to having dinner and hanging out at Gwen’s tonight.  We haven’t talked much since I started teaching so it will be nice to relax (and not cook dinner)!  I’ll be spending the weekend getting caught up on housework and typing up my lesson plans for next week from my outline.  Have a great one!
