Our new school year was off to a rough start. On the day I preferred to start our lessons, I had a doctor appointment first thing in the morning. I received two phone calls from my husband (not the usual teacher, but substitute and principal) about locating a certain activity or usual process.

Upon my arrival, not only was my house in disarray, but the kids (and their ring leader) were running around the house giggling and laughing. When questioned their response...." It said "chill time" on the schedule! "
(Chill time = snack, get up and run around to get the energy out,) Chill time, however was supposed to be preceded by "Clean up " a time slot that evidently was omitted.

My husband left for work. One hour later, and a house still in shambles, our borders arrived. They were only staying the night, but it was enough to cause excitement that emitted through the house. If we were to put our school on the delays/closings scroll on the local stations, it would have said something like this:

DuBose School of Excellence- closed due to maintenance problems.

So we shut it down.

Today was a bit better, but we're still getting accustomed to our new schedule. Hopefully, it will go better tomorrow.
