I'm too tired to care about anything right now. I have some friends that will be showing up shortly for dinner. I sit here and blog instead of inspecting the house. Instead of squeezing in any homework. I do this instead of working late to meet my goal of 10 policies a day. I sit here and blog even though I know that I should probably baby proof my house. I have hardly seen a moment of Andrew today, yet I sit here and blog instead of visiting with him. (he is outside in the cold after all...I don't belong outside in the cold).
I have a little bit of a beef to pick with some out there. I have tried to visit a few of your blogs recently only to find I CAN'T... Please invite me to be a reader, there are a few of you, but I won't assume our friendship except for my BROTHER with whom I demand to be added. (please) That is if you don't want to see the monster at the end of this book...if you know what I mean.
Students...a poor kid got pegged today with a lunch box from an apparently unexplained bit of rage. I saw the 90 degree angle welt left on this poor kids face. He is such a cute kid too, he reminds me of T.J. Sheffield when he was a little kid. I watched this same kid try to be a man and solve a bully problem just earlier this week in my art class when he told me about two kids and when we all talked about it, he burst into tears. The thing is, is this kid is well-liked, nice, funny, appropriately energetic. He just has had a bad week.
Another student. Wes. Asian. Genius 6-yr-old. He brought his show and tell. After about 10 minutes of a million items coming out of the bag I was ready to start class until he explained that he prepared a quiz for the class. Out came a little bag full of taffy. I really needed to get going with the class, but he kept asking his mentally prepared questions and all of the kids bolted their hands in the air to answer.."what did I do to make the fish" he asks as he peers back into his bag. The smile of glee that spread across his face as he took complete control over the class was quite amusing.
