Friday Night Leftovers - Another Saturday Edition

  • So. I started back to work on Thursday. There was drama with the adults. There is drama with the students. I had so much crap to do that I couldn't even figure out how to get started. I literally walked around in a circle looking from one thing to the next and couldn't get myself to do any of it.
  • I went home tired.
  • Friday was the same.
  • Found out that much of what I had worked hard completing for the leadership team before I left had been vetoed by the staff because the leadership team didn't do what they should have when presenting the plans to staff. (We are a program improvement school and have government take over looming in the distance if we don't shape up. We could have, but the 8 or so nay sayers we allowed to "win" with their complaints once again so we have to start from scratch. PISSES ME OFF.)
  • Also found out that the staff royally ticked off our district office because they couldn't get their shit together. I just know that we are in for a rotten year next year. Our district office is like that. Why can no one else make the connection? Idiots. Sigh.
  • Oh, and the woman who said those awful things to me was in the center of the drama. Surprise, right? I want to smack her every time I see her face.
  • Friday's tired laughed in the face of Thursday's tired.
  • My husband is seriously annoying me. I don't understand why every single time I am in the shower he has to turn on the water and take all my hot water. It never fails. Doing that when your wife is super tired and cranky is a sure fire way to piss her off, just saying.
  • Plus, we are both working now, buddy. I don't care if it is "only" for 6 days. Do some of the damn housework, too, and stop leaving all of it for me. If you don't start helping, the house is going to stay exactly as it is until I do get out of work. I hope you like paper plates and dust bunnies. Ahem.
  • Writing a post a day on the boys' blog is hard. I have 9 posts left to get to the end of the challenge. Thank. God.
  • I do have $20 of Ko.hl's cash to go spend (Ko.hl's cash is sort of like a rebate you get when you spend a certain amount of money at the store, only you have to spend the "cash" on a different day. If you don't spend within the time frame they give you, you lose the money.) I think a little retail therapy might lighten my mood.
  • Too bad Ta.rg.et doesn't do something like that. I drop money in Ta.rg.et like there is no tomorrow. I'd always have extra "cash" from there. Seeing how I spend money in there anyway, I doubt I could make them implement my idea.
  • Did I ever tell you that I own 2 shares from Ta.rg.et? Is.aac bought me a share for our first anniversary (it's the paper anniversary). The next year it split. It cracks me up that I get all of the info from corporate, including a ballot to vote for their board, and all I have is 2 shares.
  • Okay, I guess that's it.
Stop by Danifred's to see what everyone else is having had for leftovers. :-)

  1. I have a way to solve all the work stress...move to Cary and come teach at my sons' elementary school. The were awarded the National School of Distinction award this year. A plus would be that you would then be just around the corner from me.

    Retail therapy ROCKS!

    Do the water thing to him the next few times he showers...that will teach him.

  2. I will never understand people who insist on creating drama at work. I hate those people. Sorry things have been so rough getting back into the whole work thing.

  3. Thankfully work will be over soon and you can start the stress all over again in the fall.

    Instead of turning on the water when he is showering, take a cup of cold water and pour it over the top of the shower - that will teach him ;-)
