What's up with Whatsit

My five point life

I finished my $1200 book order. Actually, $1217.16. I spent $1217.11. It's hard to get it right on the dot. I ordered Black History books (come February, they will be all checked out by the teachers), all the Betsy-Tacy-Tib books, a bunch of how to draw books, a few Newbery Medal books, a few Caldecott Award books, plus a little of this and a little of that. Spending Mississippi's money to order books is great fun to me.

I called in sick Friday with Matt. He had a terrible ear infection. He's all better now.

One of our teachers resigned, presumably because he was on drugs. I'm glad he resigned, but I'm disappointed at the same time. They haven't replaced him yet. I feel sorry for his class - it's hard to learn anything with a permanent sub. I resign from the juvie place where 99% of the students were on drugs, and come to a place where I have a teacher on drugs. The odd thing is, he was a good teacher.

Friday will be here one of these years. I feel like it's a million years off.

The fair is coming Wednesday. I will be sure and eat a funnel cake for y'all! I love the fair.
