Welcome to the weekend where we will attempt to do all that we put off during the week while also frequently visiting our computers to blog search, visit Michele’s, and waste a good amount of time relaxing and enjoying the amusement blog hopping brings. Or maybe you just accidently stumbled here by clicking NEXT! Either way…WELCOME!
Don’t know about you but I’m glad for the weekend.
Monday…Is it bad that I can’t remember what happened Monday? skip it…I’ll start with today…
6:15 AM (should have been up at 5:30, but hey…it’s Friday- NO it does not matter that I did not crawl out of bed before 6:15 ANY day this week) ANYWAY, a little after 6 I wake up to Djembe turning on his shower and telling me to get up. Ugh. I don’t want to. And then…waaank.waaank.waaank.waaank. grrrrrr. arf (groggily b/c Tiki was asleep too) It sounds like there is a guinea hen right outside my window.
So I took Tiki out to do her business and no, it was not a guinea hen outside my window it was honking from my roof as my entire yard was being transformed into a scene from The Birds.
I took a little visitor with me to school today. Tweety persuaded me to bring Tiki to her show and tell time. Being the “I want to please my child at this special time” kinda mom I am, I said yes. To do this, I had to get creative. I made arrangements to leave during my first off period, and have my lunch study covered in case I am late returning. Even with that, I did not have time to come home, get Tiki, drive to Tweety’s school, back home, back to work. SO…I take Tiki with me. We were spending the day in the media center anyway so we enjoyed her company. My students loved it (9th graders) and the media center ladies didn’t mind. Not the first time someone has had a pet in there. We used to have a library cat, but someone complained. Understood. (Before anyone goes psycho comment on me, I did check with my students Thursday to be certain no one was allergic.) Tiki spent the morning with me and had a grand time. She went from person to person, loving every second of the attention. The students worked just fine and enjoyed the change of pace. BTW, show/tell went great and Tweety was thrilled that I brought her sweety *read hyperactive chewing machine* to school.
Have to brag on my kids (students) here. Those guys worked from start to finish today. It was the first time I attempted a media project with this group and they were top notch. Looks like it is going to be a GREAT semester. I love being able to create media activities for them. Such an enhancement to the everyday work-lecture/discuss-test when we can do group work, net and research activities!
Now if you read any of my earlier posts, I went to kick aerobics yesterday. I was great, until this afternoon…getting just a little stiff now, bout time for that hot bath to relax the muscles. ouch. but it’s a good ouch!
