What a long and exhausting week...

Somehow it always seems that the short weeks are the worst.

• I'm splitting an extended day job with another teacher. It should be 5 days out of 10. I worked 8 out of the first 9. She seems to have herself organized now, so next week we can start splitting evenly. I mean, it's easy money but if I wanted to work until 5:30 every day I wouldn't have split with her.
• We had our unexpected (but still enjoyable) weekend away last weekend, so I didn't get anything done for the week.
• There was a plumbing flood at school overnight, so Thursday morning one whole wing of the school was a soggy mess. Open House had to be rescheduled, which is rotten 'cause I'd rather just have it over with.
• A couple of my kids were extremely trying this week (and one of my moms was, too).

Anyway, thank goodness it's the weekend!

Oh, and in other breaking news....Ian didn't want to stay late on Thursday and one of my co-workers offered to take him home. He let himself in the house, did his homework and just hung out until Sean got home. He was here alone for a little more than an hour with no panic calls to either of us. That is the longest he's been home alone - and the first time he has let himself in. He's growing up!
