Madness

That is the only word I can think of to describe the last 3 days. Tuesday afternoon as we were leaving our meeting, we found out we could finally get into our building on Wednesday morning at 8. Being the anxious person that I am, I was there at 7:50 ready to move in and get started. Knowing that Meet your Teacher night was at 5:30, I put on my IPOD, shut the door, and got working like a mad woman trying to make my room look presentable. At 2:30 we got the message that we had not been approved by the fire marshall to let children occupy the building. Because of this, we had to change our meet your teacher to another location..the building across the parking lot. Needless to say, it was mayhem when parents and kids got there and they realized they weren't going to be able to see the building. We did offer a consolation prize though and gave them the opportunity to come back today to see the building.

Personally I was happy b/c the building was not ready. There are a 100 some workers still there painting, fixing, pour concrete...it's a mess and honestly I'm surprised that we were open today. It came down to the wire. It's still not perfect, but we're moving on...school starts Monday and I'm still not prepared so I'll be at school tomorrow...on Saturday.

Ok I'm so tired...I'm off to bed but first wanted to send another Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband who has endured all my craziness this week. I love yoU!
