Got word at 6:37 this morning that we can set up our classrooms from 2:30 to 7:30 this afternoon.

Apparently we can only be in for so long and can only have so many people in at a given time.  And also apparently, the other two schools on our campus are getting in first.  Gr.

So we've gone from five DAYS to five HOURS, but it's something.

And it may ( Read more... )

 Heart attack one:  Every time I got up last night, I checked on Logi.  He was sleeping in a sleep sack on the floor of the cage, so I just put my hand over the sack and as long as it was warm and breathing, I called it 'as good as we could hope for' and moved on.  I wake up at 5:30 this morning and put my hand over the sack and it's room ( Read more... )

Two things have happened that are making a sale at my Etsy shop possible this weekend.  First thing: I ended up with some unexpected free time this weekend to complete orders.  Second thing: The Greater Chicago Ferret Organization has had a catastrophic disease outbreak.

 Not that we're doing heaps and heaps better, but at least we can blame all of our issues on not having a building and weird/crap communication from the people in charge of that.

Today I got an email from the middle school counselor I worked with last year asking me what one of my kids from last year's name was.  I told her and asked why.   ( Read more... )

Wednesday (tomorrow).

On Friday we were told it was being pushed to Thursday. But really.
Thursday. And you can stay until 10:00 p.m. each day from Thursday to
Monday to get things done before kids show up at 8:00 on Tuesday the 3rd.

So Saturday I drove out to this

 So there's about 12 hours before the code INSPIRE runs out for those who were thinking of helping my kids get their iPads.  Right now if I can get about $75 donated before that and using the code, I'll be there!  So if you were thinking about helping out a bit, tonight would be an *awesome* time for you to do that!  Every tiny bit helps and ( Read more... )

Okay, all *I* may need is my ferrets, my Mac and fanfic, but my students need iPads. We have the most dilapidated, old, junky netbooks in the world. And as a charter school, my kids are not any part of that CPS iPad program.

So if you've got a spare $5 (or more) to spare.... http://www.donorschoose.org/project/upgrade-us-to-ipads/1038700/?verify= ( Read more... )

 Or possibly I was just hit with the stupid stick.  Or possibly I have, once again, fallen in massive love with the new fandom that no one else gives a rat's ass about, except for possibly a few fourteen year olds on ff.net...

But really... with all the sites for White Collar, why can't I find any for Graceland?  Discussion, fic... anything?  Okay, ( Read more... )
