Sadly - I just realized it was Friday and of course had to post ASAP! But in my defense it has been one of THOSE weeks. If it weren't Friday, I would most definitely be checking into mental hospital. Before the flashback begins can I just say that NO teacher should ever have to deal with 19 six-year olds coming down off of a sugar high. It's just trouble waiting to happen.
No so very happy anymore!!
I recently read somewhere that it was proposed that Halloween be changed to the last Saturday of October. My initial thought was NO WAY! The 31st is and shall forever be Halloween. Then Halloween happened and I spent a week dealing with agony of candy withdrawals. I am pretty sure I suffered far more then they did. Kids were coming in with BlowPops for breakfast, licorice for lunch, and I wouldn't be surprised if they ate Snickers for supper. At first, they were so hopped up on glucose I believe they were comatose. That did not last long enough. It was so bad I had a student laughing when he took a BAD day card home. That is a tell-tale sign of substance (in this case sugar) abuse right there! So what I am trying to say is GET ME A PEN - I will sign the crap out of any petition that is PRO Halloween on a Saturday ... I'll even settle for Friday.
Thank you for staying with me on that one. Now strap on your safety belt because this Delorean
is about to travel back in time! The year - 2009. Isn't time travel just great! So it didn't travel back that far but none the less back it did go. I figured since I am pretty much DONE with this week and beyond ready for a break that this little quote would sum it all up!
For those that do not teach, it is just known that it is far easier to teach sick than it is to prepare for a sub. That was just what I did. Hence ...
Student: What's wrong?
Me: I'm sick.
Student: Are you sick of us?
Right now - yes, yes I am! Please use this weekend to rid your tiny, frail little body of all the sugary toxins and let me have my sanity back!
