3 Half Days in 1 Week!! What were they thinking?

This has been a very weird school week. Monday and Tuesday were full days, and Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we only had two periods each day. The rest of the day was teacher work day. We, the Para's, are only supposed to work the hours the kids are at school. But since this was a last minute schedule change, we were told by the district office we had to work, but our building administrator told us to get done what our teacher asked us to do, and then we could leave. But because i have so much Comp time from last year, I worked the full day Wednesday, Volunteered at Ash's school Thursday, and worked 2 hours on Friday, and then went out to lunch with my friends.

At Ash's school, as part of their tution, we are to volunteer 10 hours in the school year. It's been hard to get it done this year. With the kind of students that are in the class I work in, we always need to have two adults in there for safety reasons. I made the teacher two new snack bags that took six hours to make, and spent 3 hours on Thursday helping with the Kindergarten, first and second grade classes.

Dang, you always sound so busy. I'm glad you got to go to lunch with your friends...you deserve it. It seems weird to do 3 half days...why not just 1 or 2 full days? Craziness.

Organizational skills come in handy when your life gets so busy. I am still trying to master my organizational skills. I am lousy. Just try to journal of blog your days, it passes so quickly and you think that you will get to it someday. Pretty soon to many of the somedays have passed and you can't remember anything. I speak from experience.

Have a great day. Love ya
