So Tired...........

School starts in a mere 38 hours. Oh the pain, the agony! Eh, who am I kidding? It's really not going to be that bad. I'm just really tired as I spent yet another day getting my room ready. Today was, however, my first official day of work--by contract we had to come in today. Tomorrow it's the same deal. Every single day last week my poor butt was in my room getting it ready for the kidd-o's. After all of the meetings today *snore* I was back at it. I made myself leave at 5:00 so I could come home. And, since finishing supper, guess what I've been doing? Yup, more school work!!! Geesh. At least my room is very organized this year. It's only taken me 8 school years to get this organized. Live and learn, right? One feat, that I am determined to finish by Wednesday morning, is leveling ALL of my books in my classroom library, put them in corresponding containers, AND stick a little sticker on the back of each book that indicates which book box it belongs in. For starters, I have over 5,000 books in my room. Second, they were a mess from last year. Third, I have to arrange them all (by level--easiest to hardest) and stick these &^%*& stickers on them. I must be punishing myself! I also have about 1,000 non-fiction books (not leveled) that I have in containers: bugs & animals, non-fiction (general), and dinosaurs. Once I am done, there will be NO mistaking what book belongs where. If one of my kids even thinks about putting a Horrible Harry book in the dinosaur book box, poor 'ol Mrs. H. is going to flip her lid!!!
