Late Night = More Coffee

And by late night, I mean I was out at dinner until 8:30, didn't get home until nearly 9:00 and then stayed up  and wound down until 10:00. I feel fine now but I'm sure it will catch up with me later in the day. Regardless though, it was great to see Lisa (my cousin) and catch up with her and everything going on with the McClain side of the family. (Good to see Anne too!)

My meeting yesterday was fine. I managed to convince the parents to leave the writing goal out. It was AFTER the meeting that the real shit hit the fan. See, the parents, after their son left, started talking about some issue he was having with one of his friends. They acted like I had an idea of what they were talking about so I made it clear I was clueless. They then revealed that one of their sons friends girlfriends was accusing that friend of rape and that he hits her. UGH! So I, of course, finding out that the admin wasn't aware of this issue, was compelled to tell the admins about this. (I told this to the parents.) So as they left the meeting, I saw one of my principals and I called him in and told him quickly what the parents had told me. Later, seeing my student in the hallway, the admin pulled him aside just to get the last name of the girlfriend. Well apparently that was the WRONG way to go about it because the kid freaked out and started texting his parents. The parents got all pissed off (at my admin) because they didn't want their son to know they had "betrayed" his trust. JAYSUS! Total stupid bullshit that I hate getting involved in. Parents! Be parents and when shit like this comes up, tell your kid that you need to inform the powers that be! The kid was assured his name wouldn't come up. Hopefully this is off my plate today.

Jim's going to be on nights coming up soon. This is a good thing for a couple reasons: A) It will work well with his upcoming scan so he won't miss work B) It will mean that when parent teacher conferences come up soon, I won't have to worry about the dogs and C) he'll actually have to work fewer hours for a full work week. His work is slow right now so any work is good work.

And that's about all I've got. Time to get a move on. Happy Wednesday (thought all day yesterday was Wednesday and so did the kids). Later!
