Progress Report

Ok-so the first week of school wasn't too bad... in spite of the fact that ya'll know I like to bitch first and backtrack later. So like it or not, I'm working for a livin' for another year-that is until Mr B wins the lottery-which he is always planning on. But really-there's nuthin' to complain about when you pretty much get left alone to do your thang and have great kids to work with. I am however teaching a lot of staff kids this year, so I have asked my friend G to be my crazy-spotter and help keep me PG-13, which can be a challenge when f-bombs are blowing up inside my head at any given moment and I'm busy crackin' the whip... So hopefully I won't piss off too many overachiever parents. Trust me: you don't want this group crawlin' up your backside. But it's inevitable. Pissing someone off is just part of the job description.

Oh, and to give you something to look forward to, I am going camping and canoeing with lil brother and his cub scout pals in September. Remember the cave trip last year with seven yr olds??? It was BRUTAL!!! I was a HOT MESS covered in mud and bat poo and sweat. As bad as it was, I am proud to say that I only yelled "SHI*T! SH!T! SH*T!" once, and those lil cubbies didn't even bat an eye. Of course, the whole trip was done with my lipgloss tube in my front pocket too. So as you can guess, this upcoming trip is likely gonna be another ride at the goat rodeo.

Hope ya'll are surviving this heat. It's hotter than the hinges of hell in my neck of the woods. Ugh!!!
