Amazingly I have a spare moment here to spend on a little blogging. Life has been absolutely crazy lately with work and such. I've been working on testing a kid to determine if he has a learning disability, so I've been adding in trips out to his school (also in the middle of nowhere - I don't see any kids who go to schools in town) to administer the tests.
SO - my typical day has been:
8:15 - take M to school
then head out to middle of nowhere school #1 to see kids
11ish - leave middle of nowhere #1 and head to middle of nowhere #2 for testing - eat lunch in the car
2ish - head back to town to go by the jail and get that work done, or go to a meeting, or go make copies, or whatever that particular day has in store for me
3ish - p/u M at school and take her to whatever her daily activity is (today is sewing)
5ish - p/u M from activity and head home for dinner and PM activities (last nite was knitting for M and I, tonite I'm going to a stamping/scrapbooking club while D takes M to his rugby coach/parent meeting)
9ish - collapse on comfy chair in PJ's - watch TV and cross stitch
10ish - drag my lazy ass upstairs to bed - read 1 chapter of my book (or more if I have that much energy) before falling dead asleep until morning when it starts over again
The good news? I only work 3/4 time, so it could be crazier if I was a full-time employee! Such is the life of a teacher though - if you are supposed to work part-time, you work full-time, and if you are supposed to work full-time, you work overtime. When I was a full-time teacher, I was putting in easily 50-60 hours a week between the time in the classroom, the paper grading, planning, and then on top of that the Special Ed paperwork/meetings/etc. SO - as much as it may sound like I'm complaining, I'm very happy with my "part-time" job!
