Today sucks

Well, I am out of school today because of Gustav. Yesterday I was excited to see that we would be out so that the higer-ups could assess the damages to the schools. However, today, I am bored....again. I hate missing work and having to make it up. If I were sick or just wanted to stay home, that would be one thing. You don't have to make those days up. But when it is mandatory, everyone will eventually have to make it up. I think it sucks because I was just off yesterday and don't really need two days off. So, here I am......about to go to Target, I guess. I do have lesson plans to write so I guess I will do that later. Of course, I needed to write those plans on Friday, but totally procrastinated, and here it is the day before and I am scurrying around trying to figure out what I am going to do for the remainder of this week.

Also, I am quite interested in the whole, "Bristol Palin is pregnant and 17" issue. Thoughts? I am saddened to think that the media will take this and run with it. I appreciate Obama's statement....stay out of family issues. THANK YOU! It is their situation, not America's. I have a friend at work that had a child when she was 18. She is well educated, has a college degree, and is a fantastic teacher. She has an amazing son who is well behaved and may even have a football scholarship. More importantly, no one ridiculed or criticized her or her family for the birth of her son......
