Admit it. You're singing the theme song from The Facts of Life. I know you are. And do you know the next line? The one before, "There you have...The facts of life...The facts of life"? Yeah, me either.
Stuff happens every day. I just thought I'd point out some things that happened to me today and how it makes me appreciate life.
1. Good: A little boy in my class has very nice manners most of the time, "Miss Rose, may I use the restroom?" After I say, "Yes. Thank you for asking so politely", he looked at me and said...
Bad: "I gotta dump." And this is what's wrong with America. Not only do I have to teach these small children to read, but I am also responsible for REVERSING crude phrasing such as "dump." Unfortunately, I know several grown men that didn't have intervention from their kindergarten teacher and they also use crude phrases...and think this is funny.
2. Good: I went running today. It was a great, 4.5 mile run.
Bad: A guy leaned out of his car and yelled, "Beep!" No, not an expletive, but the actual word "Beep!" B-e-e-p. Like it was a fake honk. I have gotten used to the honking, and typically wave as if to stick it to 'em while I run 4+ miles...but yelling "Beep!"? This one is new.
3. Bad first this time: The older elem kids take the TAKS test tomorrow. For younger grades, that means NO LEAVING THE ROOM except for bathroom and thirty minute lunch from 10:30-11:00. AM people. Basically, my classroom will be a prison.
Good: All my friends are leaving right at 3pm (this is extremely early, but allowable on a TAKS day) to go have happy hour. That's right. On a Wednesday. 10 of my best friends...happy hour beginning at approximately 3:30...dinner...beverages...dessert I'm sure...after a stressful day. That is one mighty combination and the result is: I might not be able to blog tomorrow.
