6:12 am--The phone rings; it's my boss telling me that we have no power at school, but we'll proceed with school until we hear otherwise. Sadly, Dave and I have no power, either. Thankfully, oil lamps offer enough light by which to get dressed.
7:25 am--arrive at school. Head to cafeteria to help corral kids.
8:20 am--dismiss kids to go to 1st period.
8:30 am--head to 2nd floor--my post for the morning. Walk and walk and walk. Check on all classrooms. Move classes from rooms with no windows to hallways or open rooms with windows. Ask teachers not to allow kids to go to the restroom--there are no lights in there.
9:15 am--Answer for the gazillionth time, "I don't know when a decision will be made. The superintedent has to make that call."
9:30 am--Get the word to start collecting attendance; things are looking up. We wouldn't be taking attendance if we weren't thinking about dismissing.
9:45 am--Turn in attendance and learn we are dismissing at 10:15; start spreading the word.
10:15 am--Kids out the doors and to the bus loop.
10:40 am--Sit down to debrief about power outage and the latest student scandal--nude photos of a student are being circulated via text/multimedia message.
12:05 pm--Pick up lunch at Chili's To Go
12:30 pm--Arrive back to learn that some little darling decided we needed more excitement. A sink in a science lab was stuffed the water was turned on and left running. The overflowing water flooded that 3rd floor classroom, the 2nd floor classroom underneath, and the 1st floor computer lab underneath.
1:00-5:00pm--Blurrrrrr

They were getting to go home--why did they need to flood the place? Bless their little hearts.
