I’m glad so many of you got to come by
for Fantasy Friday this weekend. I think
Minelle did a great job and I hope there will be more stories from her in the
future.
The school year is crawling to the end
with mind-numbing slowness, but headed that way nonetheless. We have been preparing for the End of Grade
Test (EOG). This is a time of me trying
to reassure the kids that they’ll do fine while, at the same time, panicking
that I haven’t done a good enough job and they’ll bomb. One teacher on my hall and I have complete
different teaching styles. I want the
kids to work their butts off in class, but I’m not much on homework. I want them to be kids and spend time playing
and being with their family once the school day is done – 15 minutes of
homework, okay – two hours NO WAY!
Mr. K, however, believes in homework and
he has had after-school tutoring every day since Christmas. I don’t stay after school. We’ve each taught our own way for years and for
the past 5 of those years I’ve beat him on the EOG scores. Not my more than the width of a nat’s
eyebrow, but I’ve beat him. So I tell my
kids to relax, it’s not about going to the next grade, it’s not about showing
how much they have learned, and it’s not even about making their parents proud –
it’s all about beating Mr. K! The kids
love it. It’s not what they expect me to
say but it does relax them and for some of them give them more incentive that
they would have had otherwise. I’ll let
you know the results when I get them.
Now on to my spankings last week! Nick did a pretty good job of
remembering. He surprised me on Monday
with an unofficial weigh in. I had made
progress in the right direction, but I got spanked anyway to help me remember to
keep going in that direction, yeah
Nick!
Another day I was back in the bedroom, changing
to go walking (like a good little wife) not a thought of spanking on my mind at
the moment. Nick and I were just talking,
but just as I got my pants off he picked his belt up off the bed and bent me
over. Seems that I hadn’t put all my
dishes in the dishwasher or something lame like that – but hey, I love the belt
so I wasn’t unhappy.
But the next spanking that week was for
the worst excuse I’ve ever known him to come up with. I got spanked because he didn’t tell me good-by one morning! Now come on, that not exactly fair! Nick
leaves before the butt crack of dawn, around 4:50 every morning. I’m not exactly your ‘get up and make
breakfast before he leaves’ kinda wife, but usually before he leaves he tells
me good-bye. Wednesday morning he didn’t. I know he didn’t because I always remember
and that morning when I woke my very first thought was “Nick didn’t tell me bye.”
I text him soon after I got up to tell
him of his shortcomings and he text back insisting that he had said good-by, and that I not only grunted in response, but
actually, coherently said “I love you.”
Wrong!
Well, that statement is true, but I didn’t make it, because he never
told me he was leaving! Oh well, I was
prepared to forgive him. I mean the man
can’t be perfect. But the next morning –
just before 4:50 my covers were ripped back and my butt was being soundly
spanked by a way too chipper husband who was saying “I just wanted to make sure
you were awake and know that I’m leaving.
I love you, bye!” What a way to
start the day! Actually it wouldn’t be
such a bad way provided it happened 4 to 5 hours later in the morning.
But it really was a great week with all
these short spankings as well as a few swats as I walked by on occasion. This Friday I was down just a tad over one
pound! Partly because of that, Saturday
turned out to be a great day – more about that later.
One more thing, Cassie has been
pestering me to get back to typing for her.
When she gets like this she usually gets her way so hopefully there with
me more over at her site soon.
PK, seems like a good week.
ReplyDeleteOf course your lot will best Mr K's lot.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
That empty nest sure is working is your favor. Hope this week is as good. Congrats on the weight loss! hugs abby
ReplyDeleteHi PK, boy do I agree with you regarding homework!!!You have the right idea and I love the way you use humor and competition to relax the kids. Wish my two had you!!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun for you this week too!!
Minelle
You are an AWESOME teacher! Glad you had such a great week. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was an almost perfect week for you. Congrats on the weight loss.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you about homework. Kids need time to be kids. I'm sure your "kids" will all appreciate how great a teacher you are.
Good luck against Mr. K.
Have a great weekend.
husbands can't live with them can't live without them, aren't they great :-)
ReplyDeleteYou got spanked cause he didn't say bye, lol. Sounds like a great reason to me :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the continued weight loss. Your kids are gonna do great on the test.
Thanks Paul,
ReplyDeleteBut please, keep your fingers crossed next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Abby,
The empty next is working out way better than I would have expected years ago. Walked two miles this evening so I’m hoping to keep going in the right direction.
Minelle,
I’ve always liked teaching and the kids. It’s all the adults in education, that do not want to teach, that are driving me out as hard as they can.
Rogue,
Could you come tell my ‘higher ups’ they seem to think I’m a dinosaur that should be extinct.
Sunnygirl,
It was a great week. Deep breath to see how the next one goes – at school and in real life.
Trazuredpet,
Mine is darn near perfect (except when he doesn’t tell me bye!)
Faerie,
Sure hope you’re right about the kids. Actually I don’t think I’ve ever heard a reason to spank that I really didn’t like.
I love you got spanked because Nick didn't say goodbye:) Sounds like a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteGood news on the weight loss.
Love,
Ronnie

PK: Nice that you had a good week of spankings and hope your kids do better than the other teacher again. Those kids are lucky to have you for a teacher.

Still traveling and flight delayed, but just a quick note that I enjoyed reading all your updates. I'm with Rogue...you sound like a great teacher. Thumbs up to Nick for his follow through on the spankings. Hugs
