Hello, friends! Another long week in the books. Was at work late almost every day, especially Wednesday since we had one of our monthly staff meetings. G’s school had Open House on Thursday so we were out a little later than normal. Then yesterday, Pamela texted me while I was at school to inform me…

Hello, friends! I’ll be writing a little more about this past week in today’s essay but suffice it to say it kicked my ass. I came home aching and exhausted every day. Only about 178 days of the school year left. I hope I can make it. Welcome to the 137th installment of Gauthic Times,…
