I am so...

Incredibly tired today.

Have you every had a day when everything just went the wrong way? My co-teacher didn't show. There was no emergency plan left for the sub and the sub basically just thought she would have a free day because there was no plan and I teach reading.

NO THE HELL YOU DON'T!

Then there must be a full moon tonight because the kids were off the chain. One little girl so much so that I decided to stop in the middle of class and call her mom. Now, here is the thing: the King should be dead because some of my kids have killed him and the King's English. But today, for this little mama, I know understand.

Here we go:

Ring Ring

Man: 'hlo?

Me: Hello...Hello?

Man: Yuh, I say 'hlo? Whodis?

(Yes, "who is this" is one word. Matter of fact, it is said as one syllable, but I don't know how to write that!)

Me: May I speak to Betty? (this name has been changed to protect the innocent)

Man: Huh no huher. Whodis? (again, one syllable)

Me: This is Ms. Green (child's name here's teacher. Can you ask her to call me please?


Man: Huh at wurk. I say to huh dat u had called.

(I put the letter 'u' there because I really believe in my head he said just the letter and not the word.

So I guess I really can't blame this baby for how she speaks since obviously, that is what is going on at home. And this foolishness just got her a free pass because I know I am not going to call and try to have that conversation later on tonight. Especially with the headache I have now, and the glass of wine I am planning on getting to get over this day.

Also, some kinda way all my grades have been thrown out of the system. The end of the grading period is Friday.


Oh yeah...and I get a new student in the morning!

They better be glad I still love my job or tomorrow they would be saying...


"Huh na huhr"
