One Day At A Time...

All for His Glory...

Ahhhh, almost a week has gone by and I have not written... I apologize to all of you (maybe 3 people who read my blog - =P)

well, what to say - I'm in debt! depressing! Marriage has made me poor - but rich in other respects... but definitely poor - no money - packing lunch everyday - but I guess it also makes me humble and helps me to see what is really and truly necessary in life...

anyhow - what else... whatever happened to the days when grading papers was fun! no longer.... now it's just a pain.... I wish I could just stick the papers in a machine and that they could get graded for me. =( I'm so slow at grading it drives me nuts....

as for my kids this year - I have several joksters and snot heads - forgive me - I can't think of a better way to describe them yet... I have student who are inconsiderate of others and inconsiderate of adults! argh! A student announced in class that his mother was his maid and his father was his butler - all I can say is I'm glad that he is NOT my child.... how are children brought up this way? Why do they think it's ok to curse in school... in their writing journals? isn't that just inappropriate - aren't there unwritten rules anymore? I just don't get it. well, hopefully he'll get straightened out - unfortunately - he's not going to get straightened out with one of my talks - it won't work on him - he needs to be humbled - maybe squashed by an older kid.... maybe his mom needs to come and sit in on a class so he can be utterly punished.... I am amazed at kids these days....

I have some great kids who are funny and excited.... a bunch of eager beavers if you will... I just hope that they continue to appreciate the lives they have at home - they have no idea how the other side lives....

so - all in all - school has started - I am stressed - but kids are kids.... =)
