Meet me by the parking lot door in 10 minutes so you can let me back into the building after I pick up the other three stooges - ignored. Sitting with my feet up on my desk because the bell rang and my lovely 16 and 17 year-old babies need to all finish their conversations, even though I have made it ABUNDANTLY clear that I would like to start class - Ignored. Help with lifting the laundry, even though I no longer have my last 2 discs due to blowing them out delivering my first born child - IGnored. Can you wipe down the kids' lunch boxes so I can go to the auxiliary meeting tonight after feeding your children because you have a cold and need another nap and volunteer to make 12 cookie cakes for you and your brothers during fire prevention week - IGNored. Can you put this box of stuff that belonged to your grandmother away so I can not trip over it as it blocks my path to the bathroom at 4:30am so I can get your children up and out of the door before 6am because you did not want to look at a district without residency restrictions - IGNOred. Open up EverNote, add the title of the video so you have notes to work on for the essay tomorrow - IGNOREd. Hey, do you mind meeting at 12:30 instead of 2:30 so I can get you all home to your families sooner - no response. IGNORED? Well, I was going to meet with my husband for lunch...I might be 15 minutes late...no idea if he even got it...my friend wanted to meet for lunch...
Whatever.
I quit.
I'm done.
ignore away...just don't ask my where your uniform is or for an extension or how to write a lesson plan or what time the meeting is at or where we are supposed to meet or if I can pick up something from the grocery store or if I can braid your hair or take you to football or give you a ride home or talk to your girlfriend or take you to the park or deal with the kids on another 48 or ...or ... or...
Because I won't hear you.
You said what I've been thinking for YEARS!
