lights out

It's been raining for three days straight. today was windy as well as rainy. not a good start. at school the lights flicked a couple of times in the morning.... so i sat with a flashlight all morning. did i mention the schools server was down? so no computer. a couple of kids being themselves i guess, which is exhausting for me. 130pm in my self contained reading group as well as having a 5th grade boy who has autism. just us sitting at the round table. the power goes out. did i mention that my room has no windows? so its a dungeon. not only are the two couple of kids low functioning but the boy in 5th grade then starts to say "they're here... they're coming to get us" did i mention that i left the flashlight on the other table? ohhh my life in the classroom is never a dull moment. tomorrow is jean day. i hope it's not raining and i hope the power doesn't go out. i need just a small break.
