Gas It UP!I

The Jim saga continues. I think he just needs to fart. He's having what he calls "sharp pains" in his gut. He said he thinks it's gas. I told him to walk around a bit and try and wiggle it out but that was a mistake because have you seen Jim walk? That's more painful than hearing him bitch and moan. (I know I'm a bitch! It's not my fault though...I blame my mother...love you mom!) Thankfully Jim's going to power through and go to work...better for him NOT to sit around at home making himself feel even more sick. I bet, if I come home this afternoon and he's here and I say, "Hey! How about a jaunt to Shooters!?" he'll suddenly be feeling A-okay. That just might be the miracle cure.

You know what I love? I love the fact that I was piddling around last evening and it hit me, "Oh shit...I have an 8 AM IEP meeting tomorrow." Everything is done...I just forgot because anymore, IEPs are just no big deal. When I was newer and younger they were a bit nerve wracking but after doing them for 16 years (at 18 average on my caseload, sometimes twice a year if a student heads off to the career center...that's probably about 350-400 IEPs)...I've got this. Thankfully I know my regular ed teacher will show and the parent was just in for the three-year reevaluation so this should be quick and easy.

What else? Started showing my kids in history class the first season of Survivor. Reason: We're studying WWII and they were a bit flabbergasted about Italy and Japan siding with Germany when it was pretty well-known that Hitler wanted to take over the world. I explained to them that gathering alliances helps you to move forward and eventaully you cut them lose...kind of like in Survivor. And of course, half the kids said, "What's that?" while the other half said, "I've never seen it". Perfect for the last 15 minutes of class when they're all hopped up, the lesson is over and I need some peace and quiet.

Okay well, today is the last day of a wonky schedule. So glad we got through that! Now we just need to get through the rest of the year. WOOT! Happy Friday to all. Later!
