What A Rough Day....

Man. Mondays usually aren't all that bad for me. But today was....

Subbing

Subbing in class today wasn't all that great. The classroom I go into is really out of control. I don't know what that teacher does in there, but it's apparent that it isn't much. Most of the students don't seem to have any concept of what is going on or what they should be doing. Most of them looked shocked that I was telling them what to do.

And... I had to break up a fight today. I never have fights in my rooms... but this is how bad things are. Some kid knocked another kid off of his chair and a shoving match broke out. I yelled at both of them and kicked one out and told the other one to come out because I was sending them both to the office. The kid, who I think started things, got all cocky and walked past me and put his shoulder into me as if to push me out of his way.

Well the kid is 4th grade, so I just stood my ground and met his force with alittle of my own and I knocked him over. He looked shocked, which I said, "What? You think you can knock down the great wall of Redhead?"

So they were both suspended for 3 days.

Death and Taxes

And on a similar un-bright note, I did my taxes today. Blah. It pretty much sucked. I am getting $5 back from the Feds and have to pay PA $24.

I know what I am doing with that $5.

POWERBALL!

Assuming I don't win this week.

I am grumpy tonight. I'm not even going to spellcheck this entry.
