Shhhhhhhh…Don’t Tell Anybody, But…
I’m trying to write an entry while multi-tasking a few other things…
1. My classroom inventory needs to be REinventoried. No, I did it right the FIRST time (after all, I am a woman – heh). However, the school as a whole is missing a few screws, er, items. Now I have to recount every fricking piece of equipment and desk and chair and paperclip and stinking dustball in my classroom. But in between counting I can just sneak in here for a few minutes and…
2. There’s a big Hispanic festival on Sunday. A team from the school is going to participate and sell food. Team. Read that as me, the principal and one other teacher. Me and two men. Two political men. Read that as I (the gringa) will be cooking and serving and collecting money while the BIG SHOTS do what they do best…posture and figuratively (oh PLEASE let it remain figurative!!) compare penis sizes. I have to gather together the supplies for that, but before I do I’ll just sneak in here and…
3. An OBSERVATION of my teaching technique? Next week? I need to have FORMAL lesson plans with objectives and all that crapola written? And don’t forget the official threatening I’ll have to give the kids the day before. OK. But before I write that…
4. Miss! Can we have some more candy? I think I need to throw up. Can I go to the clinic?
5. Why do I hear sirens so clearly right about now?
6. 2 online classes have assignments due in October. What day is it today? NOVEMBER 12!!?!?!!! Oh crap. But if I hurry on into Open Diary….
7. Thank heavens – I don’t hear the sirens any more. Or maybe that’s bad. Maybe I don’t hear them because they’re HERE.
8.Conference week next week. Get the room spruced up and appropriate examples of student work posted. Right. Let’s see…should I post the bit about “I scream when I get hit in the balls”? Right after I make my OD entry…
8. I’d like to contemplate. Yep. It’s time for some serious contemplation. Who am I and where am I going type stuff. Needed. Now. Whatever. As soon as I write down….
9. Daddy says the grass needs mowing when I get home. I say… who the heck cares? BECAUSE I REALLY REALLY need to spend some time on writing an excellent entry for OD!
10. Miss! There’s black junk backing up out of the water fountain! I’m gonna sue the school!!
11. Pick your pants up off the floor! No I DON’T CARE THAT YOU HAVE ON ANOTHER PAIR OF PANTS UNDER THOSE PANTS. PANTS ARE NOT TO BE WORN AROUND THE ANKLES IN MY CLASSROOM. Maybe I could just note a few of my faves….
12. If I don’t order something – anything – with this money I’m going to lose it. Gotta order now. I think the pastel lavendar aprons were on sale at a good price. For pity’s sake – I have a PAID OD subscription. Seems a shame not to sneak in and use it…
Oh heck. Lunch is over. My to-do list and my entry will just have to wait…….
I hate it when I have so much to write that I just can’t get that entry written! Great job of not writing here! LOL 🙂

*hugs* you’re so creative. we had this teacher that always got bad observations, so he told us way ahead of time this top secret thing. EVERY student raised their hands EVERY time. . . left if you didn’t know the answer, right if you did. . . and we had to stagger it so it wasn’t obvious. . . and he promised not to call on us if we had our left hands up. unless there were no right hands.

“I scream when I get hit in the balls.” Oh holy shit! That’s probably not REALLY funny…so why am I laughing? RYN: Your notes today were so sweet and clever…thank you.

Creative writing and really funny. For Christmas I’d like to give you an extra 24 hours each day.

Hey you can’t just leave us hanging like that! When you gonna do an entry for here? LOL RYN: I wish you were here to give them a piece of your mind LOL Hugz

LOL… I remember doing ALL this extra work teaching, and nothing was ever done with it. Sometimes they just threw the papers into an endless file system, other times they never even collected it even though they threatened to take our heads if it wasn’t done. *sigh*

Ryn I didnt freeze the paperwhite bulbs. Once theyre spent, if I wanted to get them to bloom again Id put them in the refrigerator for a month or two and then start over. Paperwhites are tender though. You never want to freeze them.

Loved reading your non-entry.

Oh, I feel for you, P. I really, really do. No, I mean I REALLY do! I really do.

I don’t suppose you could sneak some of that money to order a copy of “Torin and Sunshine”. It’s very educational! With a grin…
Warning Comment
Do the members of your team scream when they get hit in the balls while comparing penis sizes? Arriba! Yikes. Good luck with it all….

If you have less than enough dust balls let me know. I can always do us both a favor and clean up a bit around here. 😉

reminded me of some kids we saw in the pub on friday… nice underwear they had which I could tell because one of them had borrowed his older brothers jeans so they hung at his knees and the other had borrowed his little sisters so they did up at his knees… you mean that’s fashion?…. and yes, they were kicked out for being underage *grin* My grass needs mowing too…..

lol great entry. I am exhausted just thinking about all you do. love

RYN: I know you do more good things in your class. Don’t you know the love shines through in everything you write? You are one of those keeper teachers, the ones who change lives with kindness. Giiven enough time, all we hear are the good teachers. The bad ones become a puzzle as we try to figure out their troubled lives. Hugs right back at you..

****Smiling**** That was good, my friend! Tell me….WHAT IS IT LIKE TO HAVE A PAID ODPLUS SUBSCRIPTION THAT WORKS? I WRITE FOR HELP BUT HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. IWROTE FOR THE FOURTH TIME TONIGHT. I THINK ABOUT ONCE A WEEK SHOULD DO IT. FIRST ALL MY ENTRIES GET DUMPED/LOST/PILLAGED FROM SOME CREEPOID. THEN I SHELL OUT THE CASH FOR ODPLUS…AND IT’S LIKE I STILL DON’T EXIST. WAAAAA

Dropping in, now that power is restored to my corner of the world. With a smile…

No need to contemplate who you are and where you are going; you’ve already got there! *grin* Oh, the joys of teaching! How do you find time to read, write and note on OD at all, I wonder? (I’m relieved that I didn’t discover OD till after retirement.)
Warning Comment
You sound just like me. I need to water the flowers after I do the dishes after I get a new dishcloth after I fold laundry after I take clean clothes out of the dryer after I put wet clothes into the dryer after I do a load of laundry… Now what did I need to do?

ryn: hey, thanks! It’s not bad for a pseudo-beginner’s work, I guess, and the depiction is very low-quality. I’ll post some successes soon, I hope! 🙂

RYN: I’ll dream of you and the beach and sunshine while I watch the snow.LOL. By February I am mad to see sunshine. Come April, I feel like rolling in the newly found grass, mud and all. July and August are 100 degrees and as dry as a cob. Life in the high desert country of Washington is all about extremes. I’ll share..:-)
