Distraction

I keep starting posts and not finishing them.
Haven't written in my paper journal in a while either. Writing is helpful, but finding the energy is hard. (Plus I always have a grillion other things I need to be doing.)

Called K2's dad tonight, re: helping him cope with classmates ragging on him without turning into a flaming fireball of shouting and/or weeping. Emphasized that he wasn't in trouble, but that I was concerned and wanted to help him be successful. We'll see how that went over in the morning, I guess.

Three prep periods today, and two tomorrow. Today two of them were for grade group/CSAP meetings (CSAP is basically where you troubleshoot problem kids), but I cannot figure out why I have two tomorrow. Weird as it sounds, I would actually like to have time to do some TEACHING once in a while... :P
