First Day Back August, 2009, Water issues

It looked to be a miserable day.

I was pushed in to classrooms at both schools that I wasn't sure the teachers that usually occupy the room knew I was coming.

In the morning I had envisioned the varsity basketball coach arriving with an gigantic load of new basketball shoes that needed to be distributed.. no it didn't happen. The students all went to the old classroom and we walked all together to the new one. Everything worked okay. That happened in the 2nd period as well.

At the other school, I had not met the teacher that I was sharing the room with. I had envisioned "pushing in" with my class to a full class. That didn't happen. She taught a 0 period class and was on a shortened schedule, so she was out of their by 4th peiod when I would consider starting my pull out schedule. So that is going to work too.

The afternoon class is impeccably clean. I found out later that she is the daughter of the HR director. So all it well. The room has a smart board and a overhead LcD projector. It is way back by the football field but that won't be in issue once I am there.

The big problem arrived when I got home.

Their was a leak somewhere in the water supply coming into the house and it has continued to pour. There is a moat of 3 inches around our house and the neighbors are concerned that it might take out their carpeting. I call the plumber at 4:30 today and they will be out at 9:30 tomorrow. I hope they can find the issue. In the mean time we are again without water. : ( Pat
