I May Not Make It!

These kids! I mean, they've been good, don't get me wrong but I think it's safe to say, they are driving me to the edge! This time of year is always a bit tough (spring air makes kids act like buffoons!) but I think along with losing their minds, the kids have also lost their ears and ability to pay attention! I did a little project yesterday in my history class: The Amazing Race. The kids had to look up the locations of about 20 notable landmarks around the world (Golden Gate Bridge, Stonehenge, Taj Mahal etc.). Then, once they wrote the city and state/country for each place, they had to figure out mileage for trip. Well...you'd think I had asked them to study string theory or something. I even went over the assignment with them, going over the first two legs of the trip. I told them over and over, YOU MUST WRITE DOWN THE CITY + STATE/COUNTRY!!! Because when you go look up the the distance from city to city, the computer isn't going to be able to know if you mean London, England or London Kentucky! Did the listen? Of course not! I even gave them about 3 answers. For instance - the closest location for Stonehenge which the distance calculator recognized was Salisbury. So I said to the kids (LOUDLY), "WHEN YOU GET TO STONEHENGE, THE ANSWER STARTS WITH AN 'S'!!! WRITE THAT DOWN!!!" And I repeated that line twice. Of course half of them wrote down "Wiltshire". F&%king kids!!! This was a project I thought would take at MOST one day. I was worried they'd finish really fast and have a ton of time on my hands. Didn't happen. We'll still be doing this today. UGH! The week before vacation is never easy.

Jim's on 2nd shift today which - don't tell him - I'm glad about. At least he can switch out the dryers and, hopefully get some shit done in the renovation.

Didn't ever think I'd be happy that John Kasich did well in the polls but there you go. He is the lesser of two evils. Not that I think he has a change to ever get the nomination but at least it wasn't a sweep for Trump.

Hair is done. Glad to have that done! I always say to myself that I won't let so much time go by between appointments but then I do. Oh well.

And that's all I've got. Happy Wednesday. Later!
