Exhausted

I'm sure you all are feeling the same! I just got back home from my nephew's wedding in Tallahassee. I really wanted to go to the HOSA FLC in Jekyll this year but family is more important!
It's Monday morning and I was excited to come in and see what my students had done with the assignment I left for them on Friday. Much to my dismay, the sub didn't pass along that it was HOMEWORK and for a GRADE and nevermind that they had a QUIZ today she was to remind them of...I made them take the quiz anyway after giving them 15 minutes to study. I had told them everyday last week about it. As far as homework, I told them to have it by tomorrow. This just puts me an extra day behind now as to what I was originally planning to do for this week.
Jessie is coming Thursday and I feel TOTALLY unprepared for her visit. Hopefully I can get it together by then. I was hoping she could watch student presentations over their group collaboration projects but that plan was blown out of the water last week when half the teachers decided to rip half the school out for about 4 different field trips (unannounced of course!). So, I guess Jessie will get to watch them work on their groups projects.
To make matters worse, a student caught two other students on Myspace during class the other day. She came to me and told me and I wrote them up after going back into the computer to verify it. Our media specialist found out about it and wanted a list of websites they were on. I printed her out a 30 page (gasp!) list of all the potential websites they could have been on that day to go around our firewall. Then she asked me to block them all...if only I had an extra 48 hours in a day.
I really, really, really hate to be negative all the time. I am trying to find something positive to say. The weather is beautiful and I'd rather be on the golf course. There. Have a great Monday! :)
