Back to Work I Go
The holiday is over and it's back to the everyday grind. I was happy to be back at school, but my kids were not! Prayer requests this morning included a prayer for a snow day so they could have another day off (mind you it's 65 degrees out!).
Since it was the first day back after such a long break, I had to be a meanie today and act like I am this fierce monster that won't let you do anything. They would have talked non-stop all day long otherwise. It was almost lunchtime before I smiled--probably more because the cook made my favorite, nacho grande, and even made sugar cookies. She tries to pretend she doesn't love me, but I know better! Anyway, the kids actually were very well behaved today. I'm sure I will have some stories to share over the next few days. While I'm thinking of it, one of the kids told his friend he was trying to get me fired! His friend went home and told his mom they needed to pray for me because he didn't want me to lose my job! We've all had a good laugh around here about that. Oh, how I wish you all could meet my nose blower! This kid must exit the room in order to blow his nose because I have a feeling it could rival the trumpet at the coming of our Lord! It really is obnoxious. The first time he asked to go blow his nose, I told him that he could blow it in the classroom just like everyone else. Boy, did I learn my lesson!
My evening has been spent smiling really pretty for the camera, so that I don't look like an ogre in the church directory, and working on report cards. The hardest part about the report card is the comments section and, alas, that is the only part left to do, so I will put it off until tomorrow.
Questions, comments, concerns? Please feel free to E-mail!

Ann, Me procrastinate 100% of the time...I was a sweetheart on the report cards..."soandso is a delight to have in the classroom" or a "joy" or "they have really put a lot of effort"...blah, blah, blah. I was getting bored with them by the end!
