That's it! I officially quit. If anyone out there sends me one more book to cover, I'm going to run down the street screaming like a crazy person. It will not be for effect either, I will be crazy. I have never in my life felt so utterly misused.
I know there will be parents out there telling me that my kids should cover there own books. I understand where you're coming from, but it just doesn't work for me. This is the one thing that I actually enjoy (or did). I love covering books, making sure the corners are nice, neat and square. If my kids did it I would only be hovering around and if they moved to something else, I would do it over. Yes, I have a little bit of OCD in me.
The trouble now is this: in one subject the books must be covered with newspaper, name in the top right hand corner. Oh and don't forget the teacher's name. Next subject: now there are two books - one should be blue and the other red. Off we go to the shops for red and blue paper. See what I'm getting at?
We've got books with black paper. Some books have got their own covers that we should use. On some books we should put the year, some have the teacher's name and others have the number of the classroom on. If I was president for a day I would change everything to one universal standard. Why does every book have to be different? If the teacher wants to change something get new curtains, move the furniture, get a plant.
Yes, I know I am moaning. At this stage it really doesn't matter anymore. The books are covered. I am tired. I am cranky. I need a hug.
Hopefully tomorrow there will be no more books to cover. I'm sure there can't be anymore. Please don't let there be more books !!!!
