A Little Late, but Currently...

So I realize I'm a few days late, but thought I'd go ahead with Farley's Currently. I think you'll understand why as you read my thoughts...

 

 

I'm still at school. It is 54 degrees outside and some parents let their kiddos stay and enjoy the weather on our playground.

 

My windows do face the playground which is not necessarily a good thing...especially when some kid kicks or throws a ball against the window while we are working in here.

 

Oh, who am I kidding, it is not helpful to my students' concentration anytime there are other classes at recess. I do not like to close my blinds so instead I threaten tell the kids at the beginning of the year that if I catch them watching recess, they will lose theirs.

 

I'm off the clock...our contract time ends at 3:45. Does any teacher ever leave at their contract time?

 I may still be a newbie (3rd year) but I am thinking not. At least not me...not unless I have to get somewhere for my own kiddos.

 

And no matter how late I stay, I always leave making a mental list of all the things I have to do the next day.

Can I get an "amen"?

 

As you can tell, I am stalling. I have plenty of work to do and I am dragging my feet.

What can I say?

It was a lllllloooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg day!

 

I can't go home because I am waiting in town for a bridal shower. I live about 30 miles away.

And I still have to go to the store...ugh. I hate grocery shopping. Hey, I should have put that on my pet peeves! Really, I have told hubby that if I ever get rich I *will* hire someone to shop for me. LOL!

 

Needing a nap or a Coca Cola (the real thing)...enough said.

 

Pet Peeves:

Moodiness - I hate when someone makes me feel as if I've done something wrong or made them mad, only I know I haven't and that it is just them and their moods. I say, BE HAPPY. The Lord has blessed me too much to let the day's events determine my mood.

 

Germs - All who know me will get a kick out of this one. I truly am a "germaphobic."

That may be a made up word.

In fact, Friday as I stuffed one kiddo's shoe sole down into their PE shoe, I found myself saying:

 

"Mrs. R, will you open my milk? Oh, by the way, I licked it first.

Mrs. R, will you open my go-gurt. Oh, forgot to tell you, I tried it with my teeth first.

Mrs. R, will you fix my shoe? I know it is sweaty and smelly.

You guys need to stop asking me to do gross things that make me touch your germs!"

 

The kids all laughed (and so did I), but I was serious!

Then I lathered up with Germ-X. ;-)
