Lots o' news. The roof has been power washed and painted. Turns out it was NEVER painted. This should result in much lower electricity usage.

I have graduated from a fiberglass cast to a black plastic boot with lots of buckles.

And I have survived another week with the teens.

This week was rough. On Tuesday they loaded the last straw onto this camel. The result was not nice to look at. They have been yelled at by past teachers and will be in the future but this teacher made a serious effort to explain where the bear walked through the buckwheat.

I explained about a conversation I'd had recently where I told someone that I didn't usually attend IRA meetings because they are geared towards teaching elementary students and, I said, "I don't teach anybody who is that mature!" I explained once again the process for earning respect.

Oops, Gotta go.
