How Was Your Day?

First- I want to thank you all for saying nice things about me. You really are too good for my ego. My family thanks you for giving me a big head and making me think I rock and am nothing but awesomeness! I did notice that not many of my real life friends commented though- must be that when there is a computer between us I am much more friendly and full of awesomeness as opposed to when you are forced to deal with me in the flesh (saggy, stretched out, droopy flesh that is!). That must be when those obnoxious tendencies come out ;)

Anywho--moving on to today's awesomeness. I know, I know- you feel like you win the lottery every time you stop by here! How was your day all? Ya know if I am asking- it is because I have some stories to tell you.

I have this student- he has recently been caught developed a habit of stealing. Books from my class library, pencil sharpeners that belong to other kids...nothing major like my wallet or cell phone- but enough already. I have taken everything from him and he has to get books from me at reading time and return the books to me at the end of reading time. Guess what?? He is still finding ways to steal! If I am with him and on him- then one of the other kids get into trouble. So when I deal with that- he gets into trouble. I feel like I am that little ball in the Atari game- break out- just ping ponging around from one issue to another.

I didn't bring any work home tonight (yeah, I know- shocker that a teacher's life isn't all shiny apples and stickers with summers "off"). I needed a break. Good thing too because it seems my son had other plans for my evening.

I picked the kids up from the sitter- he wasn't in the same outfit I took him in that morning. He threw up spit up all over his pants. So....I did the kids laundry because I was going to need to take another spare outfit to his sitter. No big deal. Bath time. Woo hoo bath time. Do you know what is coming?? Oh yeah- you do! Poop in the tub - AGAIN! I would like to tell Riley that next time he feels I haven't cleaned the tub recently enough, that he should just write me a letter email and I will be happy to clean the tub- there is really no need for floating poop to make your point. Oh kiddies- I wish the fun ended there. Riley once again decided that my cleaning skills are not up to par and spit up on the kitchen floor. Then proceeded to put his hands in it and smear it all around- thanks kid!

The positive - the kids' laundry is done, my bath tub is clean, and my kitchen floor is clean. :)
