Friday. Finally. It's been a LONG week. LOOOOONG.
I think it's because Next week is short- only two teaching days--and then, Thanksgiving. Right now, I'm thankful for Thanksgiving break. Because I won't have to play hooky. Sometimes, teachers just need a break.
On Wednesday, the kindergartners who came into the lab for special area, smelled like poop.
Yesterday, the first graders smelled like throw up. And one of them sneezed. All over her keyboard. All. OVER. It. Stuff came out. More stuff than you would think could be inside a first grader. Gross. And, yes. I admit. I made her clean it up. Then I went over it with Clorox wipes. About ten of them.
Today, the 5th graders acted like wild banshees at a frat party.
Our 4th and 5th grade students gave what I heard was a marvelous production of Oliver Twist yesterday. I wanted to watch the afternoon show and was all set to do so. Until the principal asked me to sit with a student who was in trouble and not allowed to go to said production. So, instead of being entertained by elementary talent (no sarcasm here, they really are quite talented), I sat with an angry, pouty 5th grader.
Do I need a break? Do you need to ask?
I LOVE you, weekend! Have a great one, y'all!
You deserve a rest at the weekend Pam. And a nice short week next week. Yay!
ReplyDeleteHopefully your break will he long enough...Enjoy!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteYes, you DO need a break! Hope this weekend provides that for you!
ReplyDeletePam put your feet up and do what you love. Say goodbye to the sneezy poopy, vomity week! Yuck - flu season is here and you work in the petri dish! God Bless You!
ReplyDeleteYou too, it sounds like you need a very nice weekend to unwind. I am so glad next week is Thanksgiving. After this week, which I agree was a loong week a short one will be great.

Kim- It did seem unusually long, didn't it? I'm so ready for break!
God bless you! I don't know how you do it. You deserve more time off than what you get..lol. One day at a time. One hour at a time. One minute at a time if you have to! Love you too! xx
ReplyDeleteBarb- I don't know how I do it either. LOL I'm trying really hard to slow time down. But I'm failing miserably.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your weekend is here, and that you have a short week next week. REST and recover!!
ReplyDeleteWhere does all that snot come from, Seriously?
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is I work with the elderly and some of them smell like poop, urine and throw up. They never wash their hands and they leave used tissues all over the place.
I hope you enjoy your break as much as I am going to enjoy mine:)
