they finally got it!

i posted a few days ago that we were having a teacher in-service this week. well, mapboy came home from school with a note saying that in-service had been cancelled and they would go all day. woo hoo!!!!!

while checking the local news on line this weekend i stumbled across the article on said in-service. i'm most impressed that our assistant superintendant is quoted as saying something to the effect that "while it won't count as a make-up day we think it will prove beneficial to have the students actually attend school for a full day. "

gee, ya think??!?!!?

i'm trying to figure out who thought of that. was it the teachers who are tired of having to redo their lesson plans, or don't really want to go to school until mid-june. or was it really those administrators we pay so well? i mean, does it take a genius to figure out our kids should actually go to school?

either way, i'm impressed and on this one they made the right call!! now maybe we are on the road back to normal. but since they are calling for 2 days of rain around these parts and our 8 inches of snow is melting we could be bracing for flood #3

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
