Anyone in education will tell you how ridiculous standardized tests are. We have to take an online quiz to administer them. Seriously? Seriously? Can't I just read the directions in the booklet? Then we get the joy of watching students take the test. For close to three hours each day. We can't look through the book. We can't look at their answers. We can't complete any meaningful work. So I'm hoping to log my 10,000 steps by lunchtime. I have 6,000 and it's only 10 am!
This is enough to make anyone cranky. I'm cranky. It's just not a fun time. And to make it worse, I'm feeling like a whiny teenager. Jose is traveling to Vegas for work from Tuesday until Saturday. Because of the time difference and difference in schedules, I might not even get to talk to him this week. I know this sounds ridiculous. I'm a grown woman. But I'm going to miss him. Even if it's just the chance to bust his ass for something. Or talk to him before he collapses at 8:00 pm (what adult goes to bed this early?). I know he gets up at 4:30 in the morning by choice, but I still think it's unnatural. So I tell him that. Like all ridiculous things, this won't be the end of the world. But I'm still going to complain about it.
