Another one of those days

They're getting too numerous to count.

The day started off great, so I guess if I had to have a problem, I'm glad it happened later. The boys went through the home study without a hitch--not that I expected one. I'm just glad that part is over.

Got back to school and had flowers. Nice. After yesterday, it will be fun to have fun with Brian. "Where did you get those?" My secret for a while! ;-) I think Patty Mains gave them to me for doing the FCA lock-in this year. Whoever it was, they were appreciated.

Then the trouble started.

Ms. Hicks cancelled The Life of Pi discussion because of tennis. Then Charlotte Miller cancelled her book because she forgot to read it. We settled on Friday. A senior questioned later. "That's grad night."

Announcements came on a little bit before 3:00 and BJ announced that the discipline committee would meet in the library. After nearly screaming, "NO!" repeatedly, I tried to find someone who could change the venue. A custodian intervened--unwelcomely. The location changed to the conference room. I thanked BJ. "No big deal." I went to the cafeteria and took care of food and locating groups. Then I returned to the library only to find that the administration had overtaken my area after all. They are the only ones who refuse to check to see if we have a problem--from the principals on up. Frustrated and not a little angry, I went to the cafeteria. Such disrespect is uncalled for.

And the end of the year is upon us. Everyone wants the library AND me and I'm trying to get the end of the year things accomplished. I get so flustered about this every year. Aargh!

Other stupidity happened today, too, but for the most part, things healed themselves. I just hate that unsettled feeling.

But I'm home now and all is better--maybe not well, but better. I'm ready for another day off. It ain't coming for a while.
