Word Wall Wednesday is cancelled.

Not for forever, just for this week. I cannot focus today.  Not anything new for me but today has been especially hard.

I spent two hours this morning with second graders, who got very close to figuring out that I had no idea where Australia goes on a map.

This afternoon I have preschool parent teacher conference. I’m terrified my son has been dropping f-bombs and social services is going to be present at the meeting so we can go ahead and set up our home visit schedule. 

And it’s raining which means, even though I am perfectly willing to get soaking wet to avoid having to steam clean dog pee out of my mattress, my dog refused to go more than two feet out the back door and now has so much pent up energy she is running laps around the living room, stopping every few seconds for a quick snack from the catbox. 

Calming myself with a drink is out, our conference is in an hour and I’m sure the social worker will probably be very good at sniffing out alcohol. So I’m thinking I’ll give the drink to the dog in the hopes she’ll calm down, take a quick power nap and come back to the vocabulary words after I have filled my Xanax prescription.
