A Blah Monday

Sometimes you just have days that are…well…blah.

Today was that day.

I got to school in what can be tactfully described not being in the best of spirits.  My students were very intuitive and cut me tons of slack.  I love them for that.  We kept things real, and I think they really respected me for that, as I did them.

Then, I came home to find this…

Yeah.

Those are my split ring markers, which I had in a baby proof bottle.

Apparently it wasn’t dog-proof…

Now, don’t you dare go getting all animal protection on me.

I know…such a disaster could have been far worse and resulted in a dog that had a perforated intestine.

Believe me…I am thanking the Lord for His protection.

But to come home to see that…especially after this the other day…

Sigh.

Apparently Pele is having a few blah days as well…missing Chicky after her constant presence during Thanksgiving.

Here’s the thing, though.

I’m a second, first-year teacher who’s completely up to her eyeballs in child-related, dog-related, and work-related stress.

Sigh.

I hate blah Mondays.
