Gustav has me worried

With a possibility that Hurricane Gustav could grow to a Category 5 and has its sights on New Orleans and the Galveston area, I will be anxious this weekend over the safety of my little girl. I spoke with her on the phone few minutes ago. She is packed and ready to evacuate. A number of people have offered to take her to Houston. However, with a Category 5, Houston, too, is in potential dire straits. Needless to say, my weekend will be one wrought with worry.

Have a safe weekend, folks.

Day 3

Munchkins took their 4-sight tests, today. Three hours of testing and these cherubs took it all in stride. Good job, kids.

Well, this old man is ready for a nap.

Have a great night, folks.

Day 2 -- Tired and Stiff

Mr. Fausnaught was outside my door as I left at 3:15 today. I think it was out of curiosity that he came to see me leave so soon. The poor guy is used to seeing me in before 6:30 and out around 4:30 or 5. HEY! I'm just plain pooped. Not only am I tired, but, the muscles are sore and strained.

Sleep Well, My Cherubs
Tomorrow we test 4-sight math and reading. It will be from 8 to 11, and the rest of the day will follow our regular schedule. Munchkins will be in homerooms for the testing.

I see my recliner in the distance -- hello, old friend. Have a great night folks.

First Day -- I'm feelin' my age

I never realized how much I loved my job until I heard "Hey! Mr. Z!" from returning middle and high school students. It's nice to know, after a long summer break, they remember me. My new sixth graders have shown to be a nice group. I think we will have a great year.

Long Day
Okay, so what did me in? I left school at 3:30, ran some errands, went home and immediately took a 15-minute nap. I am just now waking-up. My son woke me with a surprise. He and the wifey purchased a hood bra for my Subaru Baja. I've been searching for a Baja for a couple of years and presented me with this gift for my diligence. So, here I am, only now getting caught-up with my blog.

Lockers, Agendas and Tours
After introductions, the day consisted of mastering locker combination, arranging agendas and touring the building. Whew! I am feeling my age. It's hard to believe I'm already 29 -- LOL.

Okay, the recliner is calling. Have a great night, folks.
