Stressed

Stressed--that's what we are at my school. Did you know that stressed spelled backwards spells desserts? We need a banquet full of desserts as this week culminates the ISTEP+ testing, the NWEA testing, and ends the first 6 weeks of school. On top of all that, we will be attending the funeral of the husband of one of our teachers. I would like to say that we are upbeat about it all, but we tend to be downtroddened and a bit deflated. I suppose that when we complete this marathon, we will be much better prepared for the rest of the school year. But at this moment, we've hit the wall.
