Nothin’
It was a busy week at work this week. Coming back after a holiday break is always difficult, but spring break is tough because everyone knows it means we are winding down the year. State testing starts this week, so last week was a flurry of review and reminders. The kids have just gotten crazy. We had many kids suspended this week for drugs. It was like non-stop. We still have 6 weeks of school and the kids usually don’t get this crazy until after state testing. May is a shit show in schools and we expect it, but to have the wheels falling off before we even start testing is rough.
The dogs are enjoying the weather. We finally had a week without rain and its been wonderful! I got some yard work done. Its been in the 70’s for most of week as well. It is suppose to rain a bit on Monday, but hopefully it won’t be the multiple days of constant downpours we had in March.
I have 13 evaluations still to complete before the end of the year. I have also been tasked with helping a coworker after our sped director asked me to step in. Its frustrating because its not like I’m not busy. I’m just better at managing it. I don’t mind helping either, but I don’t appreciate everyone assuming I’m not busy because I am a good work flow manager. This week I have to try and grab a bunch of kids for assessment, proctor the state test for 4 kids, and write all the reports. Plus, write some reports for my coworker and whatever else admin dumps on me. Sigh.
The is only 1 episode left of The Pitt and there are simply too many questions! If you aren’t watching this show, you need to! Its so freaking good. Here are my hot takes: Santos has every right to be upset with Langdon still, Whittaker is an angel, Robby is on a death mission, and McKay is the unsung hero of this season for sure!
So, whats new with you this week? Did you read any of the same books I did? Did you find any great book deals I need to grab ASAP? Let me know in the comments!

It’s a busy time for sure. I bet you are looking forward to summer break. We have had almost no rain for months. We could use some rain.

It is definitely frustrating when people think you have nothing to do or extra time because you schedule to get your work done and others don’t know how to do that. Yep, back from spring break and things are crazy! I think we have another week maybe till testing? Unless maybe I’m wrong and it starts this week possibly. Will be interested in your Lani Lynn Vale review this week!
It kind of sucks when you’re good at your job because you are always being asked to help out. Good luck with everything. I hope the end of the year goes better than you think it will.
Good luck with all the work to be done! And yes I get iyt when you say that you are “punished” for being better at managing your time. It’s not fair.
