Oh boy

This was definately some day. I'm sure you know the type... everything at work is moving along then all of the sudden *{BAMM!}* you get blindsided by the most random thing in the world and remain off kilter for the rest of the time even after you get home.

Well, it was one of those days for me. The students were doing some group work with a timeline, since we are studying Islam and the book has a difficult time explaining all of the caliphates/Crusades in a coherent manner. On top of this, it's Homecoming Week so everyone is tossed off thier rocker with that (still no animals in the courtyard or tennis courts so far).

Everyone was slugging along nicely in my Honors 4th period until a couple of kids started to fuss at each other and the girl involved insited she leave the room. It turns out the boy she was insulting/teasing (?) said something VERY inappropriate about her mother and somehow, despite her bipolarness, she didn't slug him.

After all of that drama, how can real life hold a candle to it.... unless my greatest fears about my brothe-in-law's wedding this weekend hold true (think Randy Quaid's character in American Vacation with a Texas twang.

I'm probably overreacting, but given the insanity we've had over what my kids are supposed to wear for this medevial wedding.... I think I'm going to hide.
