Thrown right back in to the thick of things

It's been an overwhelming morning...and it's only a little after 9:00!  I knew I would be working all five days this week, but I didn't really know what I was walking into this morning.  Apparently the teacher I am in for today and tomorrow will not be returning this school year.  I don't know the whole story yet, and I'm glad.  I hate having to lie to the students when they ask what is happening.  On the upside, there are only eleven days remaining in the semester, so the kids don't necessarily need to be starting any major projects.  This particular teacher is also my neighbor and it's all just awkward.  Ugh.

I also received a text from the mother of Thomas's girlfriend, and she is not a happy woman.  Thomas didn't actually do anything wrong, but his girlfriend made a poor choice that involves Thomas.  We need to have a conversation with him, although again, he didn't actually do anything wrong, so it's a fine line to walk.

Also still dealing with junk from the band fundraiser.  I feel like all of the peace and relaxation of the last week has just completely evaporated.  It sure feels like a Monday!
