Rain Rain Rain

Laura --- Well it has been steadily raining all day which is probably creating havoc for John at his work (all the phone/cable lines go down when it rains). What the rain has done for me is make me lazy. I should be writing two different tests and review sheets for the units I am working on and I should be grading or working on entering grades...you know, my job, but instead I am staring out the window and wishing I was home curled up on the couch reading a good book (and not Separate Peace like I should since I teach that next week!). sigh...

The kids all look like they are falling asleep which they could be since what we doing today is reading silently from a memoir (not the most exciting things in the world).

The good stuff is later....sometimes I hate teaching other people's curriculum. I think I can come up with far more interesting and "teachable" stuff than a district can, but I want my job. :-)

Okay the bell is going to ring so I am going to go now.

you're right, it has been very hectic today!!!! It should just be cold and cloudy....not raining!

I don't want to do anything today either. It is cloudy and occasionally rainy here as well and I just want to curl up and do nothing except maybe read a good book. Or maybe knit or sew something. I am really starting to get on the job search path now and well it sucks. So you know it could be worse.

Raining everywhere it seems. I just got done driving from Stillwater to Tulsa in the lovely rain.

Boo to reading boring stuff!!! boo to bad teaching material!!!
