My Life Lately..

I'm beginning to wonder if there is anything that I haven't done lately? Since I have blogged last, I worked all day Monday, taught 4th grade Tuesday, worked Wednesday and all day today, went straight from work to babysit two very precious little boys, and I will be teaching 4th grade again tomorrow. I have had such a wonderful class and am excited to go back.

I am convinced that kids say the darnest things!! One of my students wrote me a note on Tuesday; this is what it said:

"Thank you! Thank you for being a wonderful teacher, you look like you are 15! How old are you?"

If she only knew how old I really was!

Tonight, the little six year old boy that I babysat kept playing with my hair. Well, about halfway through the night he whispered into my ear:

"I want to tell you that I want to kiss you on the lips."

I almost fell out on the floor. My only response to this was, "No, I just don't think that is a very good idea."

The Friday before Thanksgiving, I had a first grade class. They were watching a movie and the television in the classroom was hanging from the corner on the ceiling. One of my students yelled out, "If I have to watch this movie I'm going to get a cricket in my neck."

I can only imagine the stories that you hear if you are a full-time teacher.

I also forgot to add that I am completely through Christmas shopping except to get my sister and my grandmother a little something!!!! What a relief! The calendars had a shipping deadline(December 11) that I had to meet, and I must admit that it feels so good to have all of that out of the way! I stayed up most of the night last night to finish it. Needless to say, I am counting down the days until I can sleep in again! Now onto cleaning..
