Two Weeks Later...

It's been so long since I've posted, I almost forgot my login password. So sad. Lots has happened over the last week. Most of it I've forgotten. So sad. I've been just too tired to post...and remember. I'm half asleep right now. So sad. I did have a productive day today. I managed to get everything ready for release day deux. I had a great collaborative session with the specialist team yesterday. What a talented group of people they are. We're so lucky to have their talents. I'm so excited about reading workshop and so hopeful that the 64% number will be reduced. We have no choice about it really. We have to restructure the way reading is being taught. Business as usual is not going to create more proficient readers...it's just not. I can't believe how hard it rained today.
As I was driving in the downpour, I actually saw people standing outside of buildings watching it rain. It has been a long time since we've had a good storm. You would have thought UFOs were overhead. It was kind of amusing. I'm easily amused. We're down to our last 17 days before the break. So glad. I'm ready for a break. I'm sad there will be no intersession for the kids who need it. So very sad and so very wrong. This budget nonsense is making me angry. The "governor" is talking about making mid-year cuts. What's left to cut? I guess we could replace our roll toilet paper with the square kind. **Taking a deep breath and focusing on other topics** Too bad the Dodgers lost. They also choke. It's been down hill since Bill Russell was fired. On the positive side, the Angels lost too. So not all is bad. I actually saw a movie last week. "W" Hated it! It was a rehash of stuff I already knew about him. I'm thinking about seeing "Beverly Hills Chihuahua"...NOT!!!! Only three more days until Skittles fall from the sky, rashes clear, hair grows back on bald heads, and the world comes together and starts singing like in that 70s Coke commercial. I can't wait. I've already voted. I'm a permanent absentee voter. There's no way I'm voting in someone's garage or living room...please.
