Why does Monday come so fast???
I had my interview at 7 am, via Teams. I don't think I did very well. Which...I'm not sure I want to manage 5-10 people, so I'm okay with it. I'll still send a follow up email this morning. When I was getting ready to leave the house, happy I would still beat everyone else in, the lady I work closest with sent an email that she was going to be out sick today. Which seems odd to me because she barely uses her PTO in general.

Nicholas is hitting us today. I'm surprised our school district didn't close because most of the other ones did. I'll need to keep an eye on it because all of the streets around daycare, school and my house flood. The worst should be tonight so I'm assuming school will be closed tomorrow.

I almost t-boned some jackass who decided to make an illegal u-turn without checking if the traffic he was going into was clear. It wasn't, so he stopped and blocked the entire side of the street. Good thing there wasn't someone next to me because I would have sideswiped them I had to veer so quickly to avoid the jackass. Everything in my car went flying. I was not happy.
Cadence also forgot her water bottle in the car this morning, so I texted mh to take her one. He asked where he was supposed to take it. TO SCHOOL! Big signs everywhere pointing to the buzzer for the office, then they come out to get it. Or you know, just stand by the fence and wait for them to come out for recess. LOL

morning! Got a call at 7 AM that there was a case in B's class, so they are closed today. They are waiting on guidance b/c apparently the person didn't get sick till Sunday so they think it will be ok to open tomorrow. But I haven't heard anything back yet. I had to come into the office for something, so thank goodness MH came home yesterday. He's home with B this morning then I'll shoot home at lunchtime and cover this afternoon.
Tomorrow TBD based on what they say.

Morning. Stay safe. tgrimes Hope it’s not bad flooding later. jewels Glad YH is home to help. Dropped the kids off at school again. I really hope the bus situation here gets better. My neighbor that we tag team with on this issue is about to start substitute teaching so we will have to figure out something if this will be an ongoing issue.

Water bottle has been dropped off. Mh said they acted like it was weird of him to come up there for that. But seriously, she's not going to ask for water even if she's thirsty because she won't want to own up to the fact that she forgot. In our defense, we got it to the car, it just fell out of her side pocket as she was getting out.

I put Mallory on a waiting list for preschool at a place that takes 2 year olds. We've been in school a month now and she's not letting up about going. It's just 2 mornings a week, 6 hours total. I think it would be good for her. Hopefully a spot opens soon.

He had asked me to hold it while he was adjusting his mask or something, and then I just forgot to hand it back to him. I got back to my car (we park and walk up) and realized I still had it. By the time I walked back the doors were shut and I had to give it to the security guard.

Water bottles are requested daily for our school district since the water fountains are still closed. But I think a lot of the teachers have bottles they keep on hand, for kids who forget. I took 2 cases to Evie's teacher last year for her to keep, I have asked her current teacher if she needs a case of it, for just in case, but she didn't want it yet.
I must not have bombed the interview this morning like I thought. They want me to come in for an in person interview sometime this week as well and meet more of the management team.

mwhip, she forgot hers on I think the very first day of school. Her teacher found her a cup to use, but Cadence wouldn't ask for refills. Her teacher keeps a container of water in the fridge in their room for refills throughout the day.

On the subject of water bottles… M2 told MH Friday night that he wants to bring his water bottle because everyone in his class had one. 🤦🏽♀️ Mom fail. I didn’t know he needed to bring one and poor kid felt left out all week. He walked in happily holding his water bottle today.

Oh man, glad he finally told you lahdeedah! We always send one in but it's just habit for us since preschool. We are actually not supposed to send to N's school and it's odd not to...and she keeps asking for it.

Our kids are supposed to bring water bottles but if they forget it, they’ll just give them bottled water. We aren’t allowed to drop off any water bottles, homework, jackets, instruments or lunches.
If they forget it, that’s too freakin bad. Lol.

Somehow M2 has gone to all schools that don’t require one, until now. I’m just glad he told us because the place they put all the water bottle was out of my sight so I would have never picked up on it.

Hi! I’m at work. Afterwards the whole family is getting the flu shot. L will be the difficult one. Then I have homework. My teacher finally opened up all the assignments so I can start to work ahead.
Water bottles: kindergarten they only could have it during lunch. Now it’s required because drinking fountains are closed. L always informs me of his dad forgot to give him one. I told him before he gets in the car to check. Who knows what really happens on the morning when I’m not there.

On the topic of water bottles, C's hydroflask was taken by someone else at soccer on Saturday. I'm so annoyed. Those things aren't cheap. peachsmama, what did she get on her butt?

"If found, return to Steve" no joke. He apparently told her she has no sense of humor (which is 100% true) so this was her way of proving him wrong. Want me to make his name in vinyl a bunch and mail to you? I'm doing a bunch of cricut work tomorrow. I don't mind. Actually if any of you want it let me know lol.

So e took the shot like a champ. Only cried for a hot second. L on the other hand had to be held down by both C and I. Completely ridiculous. Not looking forward to the covid shot next month for him.

The company I talked to Friday wants me to come in later this week to meet with the VP. Hopefully Thursday so I don't have to find an empty parking lot to change into again since I always wear jeans on Friday...

Got an email from my sub today that she couldn’t get through my plans because it was a rough morning. My para is also out with a kid with a fever now. I wrote the sub back and said basically just keep everyone alive for the week.
Also, I tasted my dinner and it was the best thing ever. T and C went for their out of quarantine test today (which won’t get them out until Sunday anyway). Of course now C’s nose is running so we shall see.

Call me crazy. I was just researching how long and how much it would cost to get teaching credentials for my state. I’m thinking of doing it while doing my masters.
