Stupid Skunks!

At about 1:00 last night, I was awoken by the offensive odor of a skunk. At first I thought someone was smoking some weed outside, but alas, I realized our little friend was out and about. It was pretty awful. I feel like he/she was out there just spraying every 15 minutes or so. I'd bury my head under the covers and then come out once it started to abate but then a wave of overwhelming stink, so thick I could almost taste it, would send my head back under the covers. This went on until about 3:00 which means my sleep last night was very sporadic. I do love this weather but having the windows open has its drawbacks. 

You'll be happy to hear that Greg did not seek refuge in my room yesterday. Fingers crossed nothing happens today. I did see that the freshman VP took him aside to talk about Monday's little incident but I walked by and figured if I needed to know anything said VP would clue me in. 

Happy and safe travels to Becky today!!! She's headed out for 9 days on an adventure in Iceland. Her itinerary looks amazing and I'm sure she's going to have a great time! Take lots of pics, have fun and be safe! 

Today should be an easy day. No meetings and my LA kids are doing independent seat work. I've been pretty impressed with my freshmen reading abilities. It's always nice when you read aloud and you've got plenty of good readers to keep things moving. 

Dinner tonight will be ranch pork chops with mashers and broccoli. It's a dish I meant to make a couple weeks ago but accidentally made something else. I've had it before and it's really yummy.

And that's about all I've got. I'm running a little later than usual today because my breakfast smoothie needed extra smoothing. Happy, ooh, HUMPDAY! Later!
