Monday...

It's so sad how I really just don't feel like being here today. I am sitting here writing this blog instead of the many things that I should be doing this morning. I think I should have taken a day off. Played hooky.

I really should be excited about this week. I mean it is set to start off great considering how last week ended. The Principal has decided to give us a month off from the endless meetings that tell us when we are scheduled for more meetings about meeting to actually get our rooms in check. The kids did a great job on their parade this past Friday. And, to add gravy to it all, I got the assessment of my students changed from showing that they were all failing to being able to prove that they the are mostly on grade level. Go figure.

I really should be happy to be here today.

I'm just not.

Today I would rather be home in bed watching something senseless and useless on Lifetime. Preferably about something that is 'based on a true story'. I do not want to do read alouds or grade papers. I want to paint my toes and prepare to come to work another day. Today I don't want to deal with the runny noses or the off task behavior.

Today I want to be the one that is off task.

But, I can't. The stress of being a grown up I guess.

So I will teach today, though I would rather be home in my jammies. I am waiting for 3:45 today like a lost lover.

I promise if I just get home tonight I will hit tomorrow with a renewed vigor.

But as for right now, I want to go home.

No love for the job today.
