Why do school work when you can blog instead?

Randoms:

All is well when you are in the sun, lately.

Leo was outside this evening sitting in the dirt filled flower pot as if he were an important new flower. It reminded me of cabbage patch dolls and how they came from the cabbage patch.

Wedding work is getting busier and busier. Jff typed up a to do list and although we worked on it a lot over the weekend, we still couldn't cross anything off. At least girl friends are coming over en masse to help me with invitations on Thursday! Yippee!

My job adventure into wealthy suburbia is currently sucking the life out of me. Today while proctoring the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment in math (a new level of fun, I hadn't previously known), I had the same student demand that I a) provide her with a calculator because she had forgotten hers, b) let her go upstairs to another teacher's room when she was done with her test (I had to remind her that others MIGHT still be taking tests in that teachers room- read: the world does not revolve around you.) c)call someone to escort(testing rules) her to the bathroom immediately d)let her use her cell phone to order lunch out and e) let all the students leave early. By 11:30, when the bell rang, I had 24 juniors led by miss demands-a lot glaring at me because I wouldn't let them go early (when did that become something more than a random treat?). After all that I found my calculator I had loaned out in the back of the room on the floor. Super-de-dooper.

I shouldn't complain too much, because when recounting the story of a softball game gone bad on Monday, one of my students volunteered to bring in brand new softball catching equipment he "doesn't use anymore" for me to have (worth about $150 at least). I won't hold my breath until it arrives, but I'll take it. Maybe I should just take to wearing that every day to deal with student abuse. I could just pretend I couldn't hear them with the helmet on.

Lastly, Jff and I visited the jeweler's today and picked up the wedding bands we had ordered. It was really fun. It still seems crazy to be buying diamonds.
