just one of THOSE days......

Oh geez....where to begin?


Got up early this morning (after getting in rather late last night), as I had to go in and re-set up the classroom after getting it storm ready the other day. Arrived at school by about 7.30am and went to work....in about 10 mins I was working up a good sweat (which showed up real nice in the blue tee I was wearing -ugh!).


The children came in about 8.30 and along with the 15 returning ones we had 7 new ones....with Moms in tow! The class was cRaZy!! I felt so bad for the returning ones as I was just leaving them to their own devices as I dealt with the new ones (after we had the Moms leave), four of whom balled their little eyes out for the first hour (thank God for tylenol, lol).


OK- so the morning finished at noon, and the afternoon went by without any troubles. Dissmissal time though (and it's always like this at the beginning of the year) was more craziness. And in the middle of this I tripped over the leg of a bench- now

Thanks Debbie- actually this morning it's feeling a little better, but who knows after walking about on it for a while. It's still quite colorful ;-)

Thanks Kerstin- you know my patience over the years has dwindled, and I actually heard last week sometime that I have the name of the *tough* teacher....don't know whether that's good or bad! I do seem to get the 'challenging' kids though. Hopefully today won't be as noisy ;-)

And don't worry, that bench has been moved!

Love those vibes Miranda, I think you've covered it all- though the sun isn't shining, but it's hot enough as it is! Thanks for your kind words :-)

Hope the toe is better.

I could never work with kids. I swear so much. I grew up with a lot of cursing and yelling. What can I say it was a typical Italian American house. Filled with love, food and 4 letter words
