So I’m rounding out my 6th week of “long-term” subbing, and it looks like I’m not through yet.
Kid 1 said, “I’m kind of tired of you, Mom.” She said it with a whole lot of love. That’s kind of hard to translate to blogtalk. Trust me. It was a lot of love.
[Tangent: A few of “my” students received “my” books for Christmas. This is joyous.]
More weeks. But what this means is that my bookshelves are not getting dusted before spring. Just thought I’d warn you, if you show up here. No white gloves on the bookshelves, okay? And that the writing is pretty slim. 300 words a day makes me go WOO. And hey. The dinner is happening. All the time. But veggies are more for breakfast… because veggies for dinner might be too much work.
And I’m doing my best to get these awesome school kids taught. And very few of them are failing. And if they are, it’s despite all my best efforts to FORCE them to live up to their potential(s).
SO… what I’m saying is that I’m still a little Not In The Internets. But I will be again, here and there, and now and then, and I will keep spouting nonsense at irregular intervals, and soonish, someday when I have my LAZY on once again, I’ll be at my leisure to check in on every clever website and blog that I’ve been missing.

Hang in there, Bec. You are still amazing!

1. The dust on my shelves is inches thick
2. I’ve written like 300 words in the past MONTH
3. I don’t even have a job. I mean, except teaching that one home schooled kid and I think at this point she’s more computer schooled than anything.
4. Thanks for making me look bad.

I’m not sure what long-term subbing means but you’re doing awesome and I’m proud of you! It’s wonderful that you’re so invested in these kids because sometimes people aren’t and don’t care. As a mom, I can’t tell you how much it really means that you are.
