Schedules, schmedules!

I am so very tired of trying to get my school schedule scheduled. Look at the word... does it even look like it SHOULD be a word?! SCHEDULE. Who made that word work? And who told the people of Great Britain they could pronounce it with a "sh" sound at the beginning? "School" is not "shool" for them, is it? Anyway, I have a schedule for my LaCygne kids and my high schoolers, but still working on Fontana and Parker's schedules. Shouldn't be as difficult as LACYGNE's schedule! gee willickers! I have almost 30 kids at LaCygne alone! It's crazy to try and schedule that many kids and 14 teachers' schedules to work those kids in my building schedule. If I get any more kids, I think I'm going to have to insist on Saturday school. NOOOOOOOOOOO! Plus I have the "community kids" (outpatients, so to speak) to schedule. Gotta call those parents and work their schedules into my schedule. Yikesabee! It was the worst scheduling headache I've run into since I started this job. I told my para, Cristina, that I was going to need a big piece of paper, a pencil and a giant eraser to get started this morning... I was kinda kidding, but she got it for me (I think as a joke), but it DID help! Another schedule I have to consider is the poor social worker's schedule. I share the tiny room I'm in with her. I'm sure she is not happy with me. She can't be in the room for at least most of the two days she's told me she is going to be in the building (at LaCygne, that is). The principal now has to work on his building/room schedules to adjust who is to go where to give the two of us (the social worker and I) the confidentiality our students all need. It's crazy insane. "Schedule" is not my favorite word this week.
