Inferno

I'm pretty sure Open House is somewhere near Dante's 6th circle of hell. In 8 minutes I spewed forth my course syllabus, contact information and a tutorial on how to use my teacherweb. I met 72 parents, fielded 176 questions, fake smiled 248 times, drank 3 coke zeros and tripped over the projector cables once. There are only a few things that can begin to cut through the fuzzy numbness caused by that kind of assault.

WOW! A ton of parents showed up. You must be popular. And only one trip? Impressive. Your toes look great too, by the way.

Oh, and your tag cracked me up. Is alcoholic listed as a synonym for teacher on the Mac thesaurus?

Can I just say that I am so jealous of your yummy bath with your chocolate, chilled wine and good thriller (not to mention your sexy red toes--I'm in serious need of my pedi next week)! Seriously, I just brushed my teeth but am tempted to pour myself a glass and nibble on a sugar-free hershey bar (yuck, I know it's all I have). Hope you feel relaxed!!

It was a start, that's for sure.

Ummm, I never noticed how freakishly long my toes were until I took this picture...

Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day from SITS.

I love Coke Zero, I'm glad I'm not a teacher, and your pedicure looks fabulous. Who wouldn't need a hot bath after that kind of day

Look at those pretty toes. Wine and a hot bath, how luxurious.

geez, you had 76 parents come? That many might have come to our entire school!

Glad you received the bag! I hope you get lots of use out of it!!
