We've reached the time in the school year when I get really exhausted. We're really busy all day, then I have after school coaching that I have to stay for, sometimes, until 5:30 or 6:00. I got up on the grumpy side of the bed today and I feel like I'm gonna rip somebody's head off (of course, not literally, but I'm sure you know what I mean ...). I'm tired of asking kiddos that I'm coaching to turn in permission slips so they can ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE in Saturday's event. I'm tired of working practices around kids' myriad other commitments. Hey, I know we all want it all, but at some point we need to teach you to prioritize your commitments so next time around, it's gonna be "fish or cut bait, kids ..." I'm tired of telling the same kids for the 100th time not to play games on the 'puters in the liberry. I'm tired of telling the same kids that if they're going to "study" as loudly as they are (largely having a friggin' party like it's a friggin' pub) that they should move to a table outside on the terrace.

Therefore ...

If you are playing a game on a 'puter in the liberry ... I'm going to rip your head off.

If you are making a lot of noise in my liberry ... I'm going to rip your head off.

If you (and this goes for both faculty and kiddos) talk to me without the right respectful tone in your voice ... I'm going to rip your head off.

If you aren't doing what you're supposed to (your job as a teacher or student, basically) ... I'm going to rip your head off.

At tomorrow's even, mommies and daddies better be nice or ... I'm going to rip their heads off!!!

I'm done ...
