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.

  1. At least Pele did a good job…he didn’t do it halfway! Hope you have a better Tuesday!

  2. I can feel your pain… some days I NEVER know what I’ll find that my dogs do during the day. For me, its usually shoes, clothes, underwear drug out through the doggie door & in our back yard 🙂

  3. Ruh-roh : ( Hope today is brighter!

  4. I know it’s much easier said than done, but as the saying goes, “Don’t sweat the small stuff”. Hopefully, Pele has learned his lesson and sunnier skies are just around the bend!
