It has been a good week!

Well, I can't really say that there was anything that happened this week that I wouldn't want to do again for a while. It wasn't because life was beautiful at my school and all of my students are perfect angels.....It was because we were on Fall break this past week!! Oh how wonderful it was! Soooo, let me share something that has happened recently that I do not want to have to deal with again for a while. Our blood drive! Oh my, what a nightmare! First of all, it was a real pain to have to relocate all of my students so that the Red Cross could set up in my room. Then the air in my room was broken and it was really hot, so we had to move the set up to a different room. Well, we had students spread all over the building and I felt like I was supposed to be in so many different places at once. Then, we had kids passing out everywhere!! We had several kids miss the bus back to their home schools because they were passed out in our department! We had to call their parents to come pick them up and take them to their home schools. I know that the blood drives are so important and can save so many lives, but I don't want to have another one for a while!
