1) encouraging words from my sister Mary Beth and
2) a kind nudging from a one Mrs. Jamie Rives, ;)
I am now updating this darn blog.
I'm not all that interesting, and I sometimes feel like this whole idea of writing about myself is narcissistic. Is it? Tell me.
Warm weather is here! Oh how I love it... until it's been here for a month or two. Then I'll turn around and start complaining about the heat. I try to keep my complaining on a consistent cycle. Summer in Texas is the perfect example of how you CAN have too much of a good thing. I love how my students scream with joy now that they don't have to wear jackets on the playground anymore. In about a week their red, sweaty faces will be begging to go inside.
One funny thing ( funny in retrospect, I mean) during my first few weeks of teaching happened when my little Margo came up to me on a hot, September day on the playground. She heaved a sigh of exhaustion, grabbed my hand, and rubbed it ALL OVER her sweaty face.
...I kind of freaked out.
"NO Margo! You cannot do that to people!"
She then laughed and ran away.
One funny thing (funny in retrospect) that happened TODAY was when I led my students from lunch in the courtyard to our front office where we were to take pictures with our administrative assistant who is retiring. We got there, took the picture, and I stayed for about 1.5 minutes to run a few things by her. When I turned around to lead my kids out to the playground, I found that EVERY single last one of them had completely disappeared. I started down the hall, kind of frantically. There I saw just TWO of my sweet little girls waiting for me.
"WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE???"
"...They ran out to the playground..."
...I kind of freaked out.
Needless to say, 3/4 of Mrs. Thibodeau's Kindergarten class sat out during recess.
In other news, Pat and I are getting a new SUV! Well, new to us anyway. My parents are selling us their "Big Blue Tonka Truck," as Meredith would say (aka: the FJ Cruiser). We probably won't be actually getting it for a little while since we are insanely busy over the next few weeks, but we're excited.
It's funny to hear my dad trying to sell a car to us by saying, "You knooow, when you start to have a family you'll need a car like this..." Like that's a huge selling point 10 months after our wedding. :) Oh well. His intentions are good.
I suppose...
Tomorrow is Wednesday! My favorite day of the week!

That is all.
Narcissistic? Nahta-tal. And I'm glad my nudging came off as kind :) My intention, of course.
ReplyDeleteI must say I do not miss the sweaty, post-recess smell of other people's children. When mine smell like puppy dogs that is one thing, but a class is quite another.
