REPRIEVE

I have been substituting at our local high school and elementary this past week.
I am grateful for the work, and just as grateful for the break.
Monday was fine. Junior high math.
Tuesday, I was MC 2's teacher.
Let's just say you know things did not go well when you move your own child's clip to orange, which is one step away from the principal's office. I came home to find that the feline in my house loves our flannel sheets as much as HH and I do. He was buried at the bottom of the bed. Then I moved onto checking MC 1's backpack and his papers were less than stellar. The frustration level was through the roof, so I consoled my self with a bowl of ice cream.
I know, Dicky V. does not give a better play by play.
Yesterday it was back to Junior High.
As you can see, for someone who has not worked for 2 years, it was a lot.
It has been really cold here. Cold enough for me to put our three dogs in our garage when it got dark. Tuesday night, around 10:45, HH and I heard a dog barking. We were greatly confused as to how our dogs could have escaped. HH got up and checked. It was Buddy. Ya'll, it was the saddest thing. He kept barking for his friends. Same thing happened last night, same time, and he was here when we got up this morning. Bless his heart. He does love to come and play. They run and tackle and bite and run some more and just have themselves a grand old time. If he got here sooner, I would throw him in the garage as well.
I have more to tell you about the book Be Intolerant,by Ryan Dobson, I just finished but that will have to wait for another day. The quietness and coffee are calling me.
Hope you guys have an awesome day.
