This weekend, lots of teachers are gone for various reasons: basketball games, wrestling matches, and a teaching conference. When teachers at BFA leave, that means those left behind have to sub.
I subbed in 3 classes today: 9th grade PE (they played volleyball), Art Appreciation (they’re working on altarpieces), and German 3.
I’m also being a substitute parent and dog-sitter this weekend. One couple is gone for the weekend, so I’m watching their two kids and their dog!
I’ve felt right at home. The dog watched with interest as I played violin; as she pondered the music, she gnawed on my sweater. A bit later I lay on the floor reading a book while she repeatedly thrust a squeaky rubber rooster into my face. In response, I threw the slimy thing across the room; she scurried and retrieved it each time, only to return and plop it on my book. When she grew tired of the rooster, she decided to investigate my face. At that point, I decided I could read my book while sitting on a chair. Ah, the joys of having a dog. I miss my Buddy!
Buddy would love to play with you and lick your face too! At least he can howl along as you practice violin on Skype . He’s sleeping on your bed right now.
