My Friends

Sorry for being MIA again. I'm trying to do better, but, sigh ... work in progress.

The rest of March was ... fine? I honestly don't remember anything terribly significant about it. April, however...

We took a family trip to Austria and Amsterdam!

( Outbound trip and Vienna )

( The tale of the Rude Dude on the train to Salzburg )

Will (hopefully) continue this in future posts but don't want to dump it all in one.

Work has been fine, aside from continued behavior struggles with particular classes or students. The person I'm replacing finally has started to recover enough to be in control of her own cell phone and be responsive to people texting her here and there. And she finally (late Friday) officially told admins that she would be out the rest of the school year, which meant I spent all this week telling all the kids that they were stuck with me until June. Some kids were disappointed, others were delighted, but I tried not to be offended (for either myself or Kimee) either way. I've been getting the final bits together for the summer reading challenge, which I was going to be launching, regardless, as the soonest Kimee would have come back would have been after the kickoff. There's going to be a school-wide assembly for the kickoff this coming Tuesday, and I'm very nervous about it all going according to plan, but hopefully it will all go ok.
