Well here I am again - I'm so glad our email has been working and NOT giving me problems - finally. =)

today was a crazy day at work - it was like "everybody mess with my head day!" the superintendent of schools came into my classroom - talked to my students, checked out my board and charts, etc., looked at my grade book my student anecdotals - Ahhhhh! I was a little crazy.... and then I was pulled out of class to speak with a parent who was totally shocked that her son was singing in the middle of my room and was sitting under a desk in my class..... poor mom - she has no idea what to do with her son.... then I had a student teacher in the bldg come and observe my class - all was fine just hectic b/c of the interruptions throughout the day...

then I had to yell at a kid during lunch b/c he thinks he's too cool to listen to directions and authority! argh! why do kids always think they're right - and as long as breaking rules doesn't hurt anyone it's all ok. it's not ok - whatever happened to I just listen b/c that's what I'm supposed to do... I don't think people do that anymore...or maybe nobody every did? was I just a kid who obeyed blindly? is that so bad? hmmm....

then had to change the seating arrangement in my class - and that did not go over well - it never really does - but i need to continue working on that for tomorrow or they'll all kill each other. =P

well - all in all - i'm ok- just a long hectic day....

hi hi - I'm trying to be more consistent with writing this blog...

so what to say? not much - Spider man didn't do much - just same ol' stuff...
as for ja and me - ja has taken over the remote - between star trek enterprise, west wing and the baseball game - i am pretty close to nonexistent... =( I just wish he'd stay on the baseball or the west sing - i'd be much happier - but I suppose i'll live

today - i called a parent in the middle of my day to find out why she hadn't responded to me email about her son. Spoke to the step dad and apparently they had no idea that there was anything wrong... well - all i can say is that it was sweet revenge! I love getting kids in trouble when they deserve it more than anything else in the world. I just hope that his behavior changes and that he makes up the work - b/c he's far more capable than he shows.... it's sounds cliche but so does - he's not working to his full potential.... all true true - btw - fo thos eo fyou who remember - this is the kid with the sweater on his head pretending he had long hair!!! crazy! anyway... not much else to say for today....

i love coming home by 7pm... =) I love eating ice cream... and I love seasoned french fries. =)

ok ok - here I am once again! =) Glad to be blogging - it's all b/c I decided not to bring home work today! =) yeah! Ja and I ate a yummy dinner and just vegged out in front of the tv - our weekend was long but fun and so we're pooped. =)

anyway - just wanted to give you all a "spider man" update...
Spider man hurt her knee today and she went to the nurse's office - she went to the nurse's office apparently leaning on a smaller friend of hers - as if she were in battle and hurt badly.... =P anyway the nurse dismissed Spider man's friends and she says "Can't they stay? They don't want to go to class?" uh, duh - she can't even make up an excuse for them - and they go back to class - then Spider man has the nerve of walking into my room while a class was in session.... and apologize to the class - "Sorry.... sorry..." and then asks me what class she has? OMG - the nerve! So I say to her - "Spider man - I can't believe you - you don't know where to go? She replies " my schedule is in my bookbag but my knee hurts" - I almost fell over..... OMG - so dense - she doesn't even now how incredible she really is.....

hopefully there will be more to update later....
