Scream Scene One - We missed a day due to snow. Instead of making it up during the last part of the year....(some schools simply added 15-30 minutes to their day)....we are adding it to the end of the year. So Friday....when teachers should be doing Professional Development....our kids will be there.....all day....except for the seniors who will be at graduation practice. Now honestly....do you think we will have many students on campus? Then...to add insult to injury we will be adding the Professional Day AFTER Memorial Day! I think I am going to be sick! I don't need the hours...I have over 130/25.....and if my stuff is all done on Friday....I truly may be sick. Honestly....do you think we will have many teachers on campus?
Scream Scene Two - I know people are trying to be nice....and when there is a death....they truly don't know what to say.....but come on people....don't say things like this,"I know how you feel." Do you really? Have you ever been walking in my shoes? In the past 20 months....I have dealt with missing parents, cancer, altzheimers, my dad dying, my aunt dying, my mom dying, and now Randy....I had someone actually tell me they knew how I felt....and then said, "yep, my dad died.....then eight years later my mom died." Oh come on! They don't have a clue...and instead of feeling comforted...all I felt was anger. I personally feel it would be better to just say something like, "I am praying for you."
Scream Scene Three - I teach....it is the end of the year....kids/parents who have had access to INow all along have all of a sudden discovered that they have grades missing....or are failing....or have less than desirable grades.....and now they want me to fix it. Griefus! They have had ten....count them TEN weeks to take care of this....our school policy says....you have the number of days you were absent to make up work. You have three days to bring in an excuse...and I am amazed at the number of kids who were out the first part of the term....who all of a sudden have excused absenses. Are we teaching them how to be mature adults...or just showing them that rules don't apply to them? Will this fly when they have a job?....What exactly ARE we teaching them?
I know that this will pass....but for today....the scream is still there...waiting....for the right moment. I hope your Monday is a good one....and I hope my screamer will stay buried until I can get to the house and bury my hands in some soil!

I feel your pain with the end of school. Everybody is stressed out, just ready for it to be OVER. Then, it takes at least a couple of weeks to de-stress. Emotions are high, and the littlest thing is magnified X 1000.
Hang in there, Karen!
I may say it all wrong, but I've always been taught it's better to say the wrong thing than to say nothing at all...Hoping and praying brighter summer days are ahead.
A gift for you.
The book of Revelation chapter 12 is very precise: It is woman that delivers the true word John1:1, Rev 12:5, Rev 12:13 who restores Acts 3:21 all things to the world before Christ’s return. This woman exposes the lies of Satan who has deceived the whole world Rev 12:9. This woman creates a new thing in the earth by fulfilling God's promise to Eve Gen 3:15, Jer 31:22, Isa 14:16. Moses and Elijah are together with the word Matt 17:3 they all three are in this one woman. She is like unto Moses Num 12:3. She was raised up Acts 3:22 from the Laodicean church that becomes lukewarm because they refused to hear her Rev 3:14-17. She is bold like Elijah Matt 17:11, Luke 1:17. As Elijah was alone declaring the true God to the people so also her witness alone turns the hearts of the fathers to the children Mal 4:5-6 to prepare a people for the Lords return before the great and dreadful day of the Lord Matt 17:3, Luke 9:30. Those who will not hear Acts 3:23 the true word of God she now deliveres to the world free of charge, as a witness, at the heel of time from the wilderness Rev 12:6 will not be allowed inside the walls of God’s coming kingdom from heaven Rev 21. This true testimony of the true value of the blood of the Lamb delivers the truth that not one child of God will be put in a hell fire no matter what their sins. It never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing Jer 7:31, Jer 19:5. God created evil Isa 45:7 to teach his children the knowledge of good and evil Rom 8:7, Gen 3:22 so that at their resurrection they become a god Matt 22:29-30, Ps 82:6. Prove all things. You cannot rightly judge this unless you read all that has been written by this woman first Pro 18:13. http://minigoodtale.wordpress.com Check out the bruising of Satan and the reason for all of mankind’s sufferings.
