Today I decided that I will never, ever be an intermediate teacher. (Probably.) I spent several weeks in a grade 7 classroom during my long-term placement in teacher’s college, and after I spent most of those several weeks winning them over, it wasn’t so bad. I even thought for a minute that maybe I could teach grade 7 or 8 in a good school. …then I went back to high school. I am a high school teacher, through and through.

Have you voted in my Thirfty Thursday Adventure poll yet?? (—>) I’m fairly certain that today was the longest day ever. Last night I got a supply call for an afternoon at one of my favourite schools. It’s close to home, the staff is fun and the kids are great. I always enjoy working there. As I had the morning off, I planned to organize the house and get all kinds of laundry done.

The Hubster had a bit of a bug last week and took two sick days, but as he had other symptoms it didn’t even occur to me that I had it too. Then this week happened. I was okay on Monday. I only worked a half day, and while I was completely wiped by the end of the day, I pulled myself together and made it out to Book Club. This morning I woke up feeling a bit achy, and I…
