*Where Oh Where Did Summer Go?

Right now, the tune "Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone..." should be running through your mind. hehehehe I wasn't done yet! I know the teachers in the family feel the same way and they had to be back a week before I did! I had to go to the "Kick Off" which was a total waste of time that I don't get paid for. Instead I have to inconvenience the teacher and my students and take 3 hours of comp time. Our district suffered some big budget cuts yet they waste a lot of resources! The paper waste is incredible!! How many letters and notes do they think they need to print out that all say the same damn thing?? They alerted us at the end of last school year, then several letters during the summer and then hand outs at the kick off that all basically said the same thing! It burns my buns that some of my teacher and para friends lost their jobs at my school due to budget stuff yet all the paper, ink and postage would've probably paid their wages. We were asked to fill out a survey (by way of email...go figure) about the kick off...well, I let our superintendent know exactly what I thought when I filled out my survey...luckily for me its all done anonymously.
Other then that I am glad to be back at work. I've already had some great laughs with my friends and we have a girls weekend planned for Sept 13th. We'll be heading up to a friends cabin in Hinckley. So far there are 6 girls attending...maybe more. Wow...2 girls weekends in a month! There won't be any golf carts involved with this one though. ;) Come to think of it there won't be many 'blue haired' people...snicker....don't tell mom I said that LMAO

Is the tune still running through your mind or are you actually singing it out loud now?
