Every month the school secretaries send over a list of teacher absences. I log them onto a sheet. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.
Twice a year, I audit these sheets by sending my logs to the secretaries so they can check them again their records.
It's a very humbling experience. Six secretaries go through my logs and send over my mistakes. Granted, they catch their own mistakes too. But still...it's not fun.
Luckily, it's over for the year. Actually I have one more school to audit and then I'm done.
All that aside, it was a good day at work. I rocked to Hootie and Blowfish ALL day. I had forgotten how much I like them. (Don't judge me.)
Mother's day is creeping upon us. I had an hour or two of the blues today. I just kept swallowing my tears and trying to distract myself.
The thing about losing a child is this. Even though you still have living children that you ADORE, you always long for the child you lost.
Family oriented holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, Mother's Day & Father's Day, just make those feelings grow infinitely.
I love Bill, Mike, Lindsay and Shelby beyond words.
I just long to celebrate with Jeff too.
Sigh.
