I am not even sure where to start this week. Today I got called a bald-headed *****. Number one, how NOT creative is that? Number two, I clearly have hair.

Our news flash for the day: starting Monday students at my high school have to take their shoes off before they enter the building (they can put them back on once security checks them). It totally jives with my “shoe for a pen” policy. Apparently we are going for a theme, and trying to make students really protective of their footwear.

A teacher’s worst nightmare happened today… Forget walking into class with a sign that says “Kick Me.” Forget ripping your pants in the front of the classroom. Baby stuff. In a somewhat chaotic semi last minute assembly for ALL of the sophomores, the vice principal hands me EVERY SINGLE sophomore’s progress report. Yup, in one GIANT stack. In roughly 4 seconds I was already developing a swarm of hungry students. My hands literally started shaking. I am happy to report that the progress reports were handed out without a major coup and I retained my teacher dignity.

Thankfully, after a series of endless 12 hour days grading, planning, worrying and stressing my week of teaching is almost over due to an amazing thing call professional development.

If this blog post sounds disjointed, it is!! Now ask me if I like my job….? The crazy thing- yup, I really do. Ask me if I can get a complete sentence out…? I will try. Rounding out my day with some "Gossip Girl" and "Modern Family", eating chocolate I bought for my kids. Very adult.
