Worked: 5:30 - 2:30
Spent: $240 on a plethora of printer ink, vinyl letter stickers so that the kids can actually read the homework lists that I put on the white board, an upgrade to my Dropbox account to use for department chair stuff, and a bunch of other crap that no one cares about until their job doesn't buy it for them.
Today I gave the kids one of those "it's time to be an adult and grow up" lectures when I found out that barely a single one of them actually studied for their test. It included liberal use of my new favorite daily affirmation, "Nelson is kickin' ass and takin' names." I also used it as a chance to brag very obnoxiously about my ass-kicking time at the Urban Cow Half Marathon yesterday: 1 hour, 48 minutes, and some seconds but I don't remember exactly how many!

Worked: 6:00 - 3:00 (9 hours)
But, those hours of the incredibly long, stressful and exhausting varietal. I literally crashed on the couch at 8:30, much to The Boyfriend's chagrin. He's a lucky fellow, that one!

I just happened upon two flies gettin' it on on top of a stack of papers to grade. The nerve!

I now have to buy fly-trapping strips for my classroom. The school is plagued by flies and moths this year, and since we're not allowed to use pesticides to kill said pests and the school will not provide any assistance, we get to pretend like we're that creepy relative's cabin up in the mountains that was chock full of crushed velvet paintings of old ships, glass jars of oddly-colored liquids, and over-burdened fly strips. Or am I the only one who had that kind of relative?

Worked: 5:45 - 1:45 (8 hours)
Am suffering from a complete lack of motivation lately. I bring bags of work home with me, only to discover floors that really must be mopped immediately, clothes that must be sorted stat. It's a bit too early in the year for this!

New school-year resolution: keep up with this freaking blog, if only to support self-martyrdom.
