Teacher Workweek -- Days 4,5 ... and 6

I am writing this while waiting for the school to open on a Saturday so I can finish preparing for Monday. I spent so much time in meetings and helping the other teachers with software requirements and training that I had little time for my own stuff. Also, I did the almost fool thing of volunteering without being asked or suggested of coming to the new parent meeting Thursday night to train new parents on how to get to the homework pages and students' grades by way of the school's website. It went well, but I was exhausted when I got home, and I never did feel very awake all day Friday. I'm off to do what I can in the next 4 hours, then everything else I do in preparation will take place at home.
