So NOT Off to a Good Start!

Ok, so it is not even 11:00 and it seems as if everything has gone wrong. Ok, so maybe it really has!

As you can imagine, the last week of school is crazy anyway, but half my team is out sick and subs are hard to find this week. No one is crazy enough, or stupid enough, to try and handle these kids the last week! One sub, bless her heart, barely speaks English and she looks terrified. The other sub didn't show, so we are having to divide up the kids among those of us who are here. Oh, and we had an awards ceremony this morning, which changed the schedule around completely, so I have no planning~ not even a one minute break ALL DAY! And I got my period this morning (another joy). I have awful cramps.

And we are scheduled to eat lunch 2 1/2 hours late and I am already hundgry!

I left the house earlier than usual and rushed to get here because the absent teachers (3 total) would not be here to present their awards, so the rest of us had to divide them up. As I was at a stoplight, my car shut off. I turned on my flashers, ready to scream and cry, and tried to re-start my car. Finally, it turned back on. Victoria is usually very good to me (yes, my car has a name). I hope it was just a fluke-- maybe I was idling too low or something? My car isn't old and we take good care of it.

I will be so happy to have this day behind me. I am thinking good thoughts of summer~ of South Africa and sleeping in!
