Reality

So funny that I am posting this somewhat negative post after raving about how much I love my job. Don't get me wrong I really do love my job, but there are some parts that are less fun and less glamorous. Here are some of the "every day realities of my job"

-Twenty five first graders will give you a head ache probably faster than hitting yourself with a hammer
-When you open your door to see a student throwing up in the hall you lose your appetite real fast
-I do cross walk duty in the morning and afternoon. This morning this little girl said, "You look a lot like the computer teacher." I said ... "I get that a lot".
-These boys ran up to me during recess duty and told me that another boy had called them the "W" word. My mind raced as I tried to figure out what the "W" word was. When I came up with nothing I was a little worried what this word might be.  No fear... the "W" word is whimp. Just in case you were wondering. And apparently it is extremely offensive if you are in third grade. I learned that if you REALLY wanna offend someone you don't call them a whimp, you call them a chicken.

I know I probably sound like the worse elementary teacher in the world now, but let's just say I am trying. I will say there is never a day where I try to bite my tongue from laughing out loud. These little kids know how to keep me on my toes.
