Something tells me we're going to regret this...

That's what the poster on my wall says. It's from Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets. Most teachers I know all want it, and it has even on occasion disappeared from my wall to be ransomed. I've ordered several of them to give as gifts this week.

I got the poster my first summer at camp for my wall there. It just seemed to sneak into my school stuff after and end up over my computer in class.

Today, when the grading program that the school is starting for the first time this year, with the thumb-print check in machine at both doors of the school being installed this week, the amount of children who are now failing my class, the amount of snot that is still packed into my head (Did I mention what a good time I had in Miami? This is apparently the price.) and the amount of children that were just pulled from my classes to be searched, I think this poster is particularly prophetic about my choice to get out of bed and come to work this morning.

the only thing I don't regret is the Egg McMuffin I had for breakfast this morning. Did you know that the real kind, the first kind, the kind with the ham are only 7 WW points? (Yes, I can make a better breakfast with fewer points, but not faster than drive through and hot and McDonald's!) That the apple Walnut Salad (with the Candied Walnuts and Yogurt!) is only 4 and that a whole container of Chicken soup from Campbell's is only 3? It is a sad testament to my day when the biggest thrill is the food and I'm on a diet!

Oh bother!

ouch! Would it help to know that Benjamin wishes you lived here so you could be HIS 9th grade english teacher next year? He's sure you'd follow his IEP and help him. *grin*
And he knows he'd work hard for you.

*hugs, and prayers*
