The weekend....finally!

WOO HOO!! IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!!!!

This week has seemed to go by SO SLOW!!! It was a good slow week though...

I LOVE MY JOB THIS YEAR!!! I teach the study skills class at Oakwood Intermediate, and boy does it keep me busy!! Speaking of work, funny story....
I have spent two weeks with my classes on organizing their binders. I went out and bought 60 yellow folders and spent two days on explaining what they are, how you use them, how not to use them, etc..
One of my little friends in my classes forgot his the next day after I handed them out. Then the next....and the next...and the next....and finally a week and a half had gone by and still no take home folder. I approached my little friend about this...

me: "Friend, where is your folder?"

friend: "my binder's in my locker."

me: "Take the hall pass, go get it, and make sure you bring the folder with you."

friend: "I have a problem."

me: "what's that?"

friend: "you see what happened was... that hurricane came and my momma said that we needed to evacuate...(p.s. my friend lives in college station.)...so momma took us around the block to my grandma's house because we had to evacuate to be safe from the hurricane."

me: (Trying SO HARD not to laugh.) "And...."

friend: "Ms. Myrick, that Hurricane Ike swept up all my homework."

me: silent. That was the best excuse I have heard in a while. :)
