Today was absolutely miserable. The kids were fine. No behavior problems. They, for the most part, did their work without complaint (except that the room was cold.) They were excited about the mates arriving. They did their diarios, conjugated, and corrected errors within an inch of their lives. The whole time I was sweating and on fire I turned the thermostat down in my room to 70F. I used my oh, so lovely, Spanish fan to fan myself. I drank cold water. Nothing worked. One after another they came. The worst was when I had recess duty in the 80F sun and had to help munchkins across the monkey bars. Actually, this series started at 11:30pm last night. I woke up (having gone to bed at 9pm) drenched I was up until 2:30am having hot flashes. I stood over the air conditioning vents, I lay on the bathroom floor, I drank water... My G-d, it was awful and it continued into today. I havenapos;t had one since about 8pm tonight. Knock on wood. I donapos;t know if itapos;s me or the progesterone Iapos;m taking. Thank G-d, I only have to take the progesterone for five days. I somehow donapos;t think Iapos;m going to go camping with Dassi and Dan this weekend.
Dassi was so tired tonight she fell asleep while I was reading to her.� Fortunately, it was Amelia Bedelia she fell asleep to. (I think Amelia Bedelia is silly and poorly written) Her other selections, Bread and Jam for Frances and James Marshallapos;s Goldilocks were much more to my taste. She requested porridge for dinner tonight. Her class is studying Goldilocks. We told her oatmeal is porridge, she has been eating it for breakfast (and now dinner, it seems) Actually, she requested steaks, but all ours were frozen and my recipe takes an hour to cook them, so I promised them to her for dinner tomorrow. She is really fitting in at TJS. One of her classmates wants to marry her. She is everybodyapos;s friend. I heard a child today ask if Dassi could come home with them sometime.
Good news in Spanish land. Some of my native speakers are starting to talk to me in Spanish on a regular basis. Theyapos;ve crossed the barrier between Spanish at home/English at school. Itapos;s really good for the particular class that theyapos;re in, especially as itapos;s a Pre-K class. The younger-- the better.
Well, Iapos;ve got to go to bed, because tomorrow, I really have to grade those essays, get my lecture together, and work on new vocabulary for TJS. Fridayapos;s lecture is going to be hell. Punctuation: commas, semicolons, colons, periods, exclamation points, question marks...and Quotation marks. Oh my G-d
