WNBP: Because I Think That's What I'm Supposed To Do

Meh.  I can't even think of a catchy intro tonight.  Let's just say that it is time for the Wednesday Night Bullet Post and get right into the random, shall we?

*I remain utterly lost regarding the day in which I am currently existing.

*It's like some horrible straight-to-cable sci fi movie.

*The Day That Wasn't What She Thought.

*The Three Day Weekend That Ate Her Brain

*Time Warp For One.

*It was a peaceful sort of day, though.  All was quiet over at Ms. Sheep's Classroom Of Learning And Creative Behavior Management.

*This was most likely due to the fact that in my absence yesterday, half my class was "invited" to take today off from school.

*It was strongly encouraged.  Parents were called.  Paperwork was involved. 

*Tomorrow they have all been "invited" to return to school as they have surely learned their lessons.

*I should make sure to not get lost on the way to work tomorrow or think that it is Saturday.

*They don't do so well when I am not there to keep the peace.

*Happy Pink Sock The Second In Progress:

Knit upon whilst riding the little exercise bike this afternoon and ignoring my headache.

*Happy Pink Socks are the recommended treatment for teachers who can never, ever take a sick day lest their classroom devolve into something out of Lord Of The Flies.

*I had 17 emails waiting for me this morning...

*It also doesn't hurt to locate half a bag of chocolate chips in the back of the cupboard.

*Probably a good thing that I spent 45 minutes on the little exercise bike this afternoon...

*I'm giving some thought to knitting the Hourglass Sweater from Last Minute Knitted Gifts.  I'm not sure...

*I have just a wee bit of fear in the face of the knitted-in hem thingie.  I'm sure I can do it.  Except for the part where I sometimes think I can't.

*Which is ridiculous because I know I can knit.  And I've hemmed stuff before.  

*I have the skills.  I just need to merge them a bit.

*It can't be any harder than keeping order in my classroom or never being able to take a sick day because the world doesn't really deserve a hostile takeover which is being coordinated from my temporarily vacated office.

I think that I am glad tomorrow is Thursday even if that does mean that I have morning bus duty.  The Three Day Weekend Followed By A Training Day Which Has Rendered Me Calendar-Impaired has been good for something.  There was the whole not working thing and now the week itself is almost over.  If I ignore the part where my students developed separation anxiety in my absence and completely fell apart, then I think it all works out nicely.

Let us not discuss how next week is a full five days...
