I'm shot. Full day of teaching, and then a bridal shower for a colleague, and then a quick stop home before Open House. 5:30 - 6:30 was the being a parent "hat" at Devin's classes in middle school, then 6:30 - 7:30 was the teacher "hat" in my own classroom. Phew! I know, Becky, that my lame blogging has been the big disappointment of the last few days for you, but, again, I'm outta words! Who'd have thought?! October comes on Friday. Please say "the routine" will have settled in by then. Please.
