Tard-blog.com in it’s RITI SPED archives has numerous stories of special education teacher’s escapades and frustrations. According to my wife these stories originate in Knoxville (I have to wonder how many are influenced by Tommy). Apparently the creator of the site(offensive, adult oriented) comes from NC to see UT games and met RITI here (maybe more than ‘met’). The stories in Tard-blog.com do not offend me as I can see Tommy as the antagonist in many of them and as such I can empathize and laugh at the stories.

A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning
So yesterday I had an interview. I did a lousy job. I really need interview practice. I was too nervous. The job sounded exciting.
I deposited a check yesterday and wrote several checks based on that deposit. At the end of the day the person that wrote the check that I deposited called to tell me it will bounce. Now I’m back to producing miracles.
Administrative Day
Looks like today is turning into one of those days that control me. I must just go where the winds take me.
I hate politics
School politics drive me ape. Totally unnecessary. When people put their career (teaching, administration) above the purpose (the students) then they need to be fired.

Student: Do I have a choice?
Master: You can choose to fight or choose to accept your destiny.

This Morning
Slept hard last night rising at 6:15. Shut the alarm off before it went of to not disturb the wife. Tried hard to get dressed without waking the dog–failed. When upstairs and tried to get Sarah out of bed without waking Amy–failed. Tried to handle my stress–failed. What could be a great day I started off with temper and anger. Let’s turn that around. Today shall be busy busy and we don’t need contrived difficulties.
I had begun the day wanting to write on several topics but they have all faded. It is sometimes difficult to write about your life and live it at the same time.
