Miscommunication....

Somehow, today FRIDAY did not realize that I had already had MONDAY this week.... Quick recap of my day before noon....1st period:  One of my exuberant students was messing around my desk waving her hands and suddenly she knocked over my cup of water I always have on my desk... .I caught the escaping water mere micro inches away from my keyboard...  Then, while still in 1st period, I snagged my skirt on a jagged part of one of the desk in the back of the room... Thank heaven it was in the back of my room next to my desk because the hole happened to be in the MIDDLE OF THE BACK of my skirt!  I was quite good at easing into my chair without any student knowing what was going on.  Then, I got out my sewing kit and after turning my skirt around, I proceeded to repair the gap while still teaching... (Gosh, I am so talented.)  Anyhow, the hole was such a big, jagged one that the repair job made it appear as if I had a "crack attack" --if you know what I mean... I could not turn the skirt around and wear it backwards even after the repair because it was right smack dab in the middle of my skirt and would have drawn undo attention to its location.  Believe me, 8th graders notice EVERYTHING about what a teacher is wearing.  I knew that if I could just make it through 1st and 2nd period and teach while sitting down, I would be okay...
But NOOOOOOOO---THAT WAS NOT IN THE PLAN OF MR. MURPHY OF MURPHY'S LAW FAME...  Half way through 2nd period- WE HAD A FIRE DRILL !!!  So, not only did just my students get to see my "wounded" skirt---so did the entire 8th grade classes on the front hall !!!   We were outside for 20 minutes, so there was no way I could hide my "boo boo!" 
    I did manage to race home and change my skirt during my lunch time...  Once, I got back to the school, I thought "What else can go wrong today??""     How about the fact that it started to pour down rain just 10 minutes before the end of school..   This fact caused us to go on a "Rainy Day dismissal schedule which means that teachers have to stay in their room with their late bus riders until that bus arrives and the kids are called.  School gets out at 3:15 and my last student on rainy day dismissal leaves at 3:50!!!  
     Once I left school, then the mad dash to the bank to cash my check, and to the businesses that are begging for my money ---all before they close at 5:00!  
     Can I just tell you how grateful I am that tomorrow is Saturday and maybe Mr. Murphy will not find me if I stay hidden in the pool or in my bed !!!???
