A woken from sleep to fix a nightmare day
A spill tea on the cat day
A road closed on the way to school day
A give the sixth graders scissors day
A pick up scraps of paper day
A work through lunch day
A meeting in my prep day
A when do I have time for 99 emails day
A child playing manipulator day
A whining at dinner day
A bloody nose at bedtime day
A “mom, mom, mom!” every time I turn around day
A blurry vision, need new glasses day
A cats fighting in the hallway day
Today is…
Exhausting.

Sounds like Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day story…. Hope tomorrow is better!

If I get a good night’s sleep, it will definitely be better in the morning!

The scissors!!! Love this format, AND sorry to hear you had such a day. Let’s try again tomorrow, shall we?

Oh, the scissors! Never let 6th graders cut things! I know this, but thought, maybe this year I won’t lose two whole class periods in the process of cutting and making notes. Nope. It takes me 5 minutes to do, and it takes a bunch of 6th graders two days.

It sure sounds like it was! I liked the way you crafted your slice though. I say it was a “write a cool slice kinda day”! 🙂

This sounds just awful. I so hope today was better. Days like this zap the energy out of me for a few days. Try to be kind to yourself.

I don’t think I managed much kindness to myself, unfortunately. Today I covered two periods for a sick colleague, taught my own classes (which behaved like wild animals in a zoo, unlike my colleagues lovely 6th graders), taught advisory, and then was finally finished with my “part-time” teaching job and put my mom hat back on. I feel like I have been hit by 100 sticks and am 87 years old!

I love how you ended each line with the word “day”. It added emphasis and importance to each event and how full our days always are.
