kids

 For those of you who are not teachers, this will probably be  boring post. My kiddos say and do some of the funniest things.
These are random and on a day like today I thought they were needed to remind me why I teach.
One little girl today said the following when she saw a guardsman for the princess at the wedding on the computer: Do they make all the men there wear dresses? Do they not have any man clothes in that country?

My adoreable loveable little boy said: She is my girlfriend, speaking about our music teacher, Oh I said I thought I was your girl friend. No she is my girlfriend you are my wife at home.
Nice
I also was asked by three kids today at lunch" how many more bites do I have to have before I can eat my ice cream . So I am the wife at home and the bite counter now.
I am continually amazed at how my kiddos view me as their mom. They are so funny and so innocent most of the time.
Also one of my kids was so proud of himself this week that he could spell two four letter words correctly. Man too bad they were not his spelling words. Why can they spell the bad words and be so proud but then ask ten times how to spell our or of or from or your .......
After our makesift parade for the testing week and pep rally this teacher needs some r and r.
Heres to all of you and hoping that you are not the wife at home......

Rough Week

I hate to blog about rough times, it seems so whinny and selfish. But this week I really need to get my thoughts out and over with.
Monday started out just fine until the principal called me in and gave me my pink slip. Again out of a job in May. Education in this country sucks. Where else do you let people go that are more than qualified and eagar to help our children because the goverment can't sign a budget and they think cutting funding for education is the answer. I say cut some of the politicians and keep some teachers.
Then came Thursday and Jeff had his first colonoscopy. Long day before and night and then he went in and they said it was all good but they could not get him to wake up. Robyn and I went back and started talking to him and took him home to sleep. He wants some of that medicine he says. I was really worried but he doesn't remember a thing.
Friday would have been our grand daughter Jaidyn's third birthday. She was a sweet baby and the light of our lives for 24 days. We all miss her terribly. W e are all praying for more babies in our future. This is what I call a sad week. So I am very blessed as my trouble are very few just heavy heart. I know that god is good and will allow more children to bless our family. I know god is good and helping us to all live healthier lives on a daily basis. Fiber Fiber Fiber people. And I know that I am a great teacher and some school irregardless of the funding is in need of my services. So this Easter I hope that all of you know what blessings you have in your lives and that you try to bless others. Happy Easter to one and all.
