No alarm.
Do I really need to say more? Not really.
But
I
will....'cause it's that CrAzY!
So, my husband wakes me up at 7:00. I normally LEAVE THE HOUSE at 7:00!
What?
Jump up in a tizzy. I had not set my alarm. I got a full 10 hours of sleep, though.
I run to my phone to call the school to get someone to cover my room for at least 10 minutes. Not sure of what I'll wear. My go-to clothes are dirty. Which means ironing. What?????
Run back to my bathroom to start throwing on makeup.
Wait? What day is it?
The 15th?
Oh yeah, I have a sub for the morning 'cause I've got an appoint-ment. That was sarcasm.
So, I call the school back. It goes something like this:
Me-Hi there, it's me again. Guess what? I have a sub today for the morning.
Other line-silence.....then LAUGHTER.
Me-Welcome to my world. See you at 11:00.
Other line- OK.
So, I go and leisurely get ready.
Go to appoint-ment. Then head home for about an hour of blogging/school work/laundry.
So here I am.
Now, if you've stuck around this long. Let me show you what we got to do the other day:
Employees of the local Kimberly Clark plant came and taught my class a lesson on polymers. It was great. Had I been resourceful, I would have read the Dr. Seuss book before-hand. Oh well.
I also wanted to tell all you upper elementary teachers about a great link up on Lorraine's blog: Fabulous 4th Grade Froggies. It's a linky party to connect all 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers. Check it out. I know I'll be "following" a lot of great blogs later tonight when I get home.
OK, off to school now that it is close to 11:00.
I think I will skip going into the office today.
Thanks for joining my linky party!
