Tuesday was rough. With our three day weekend already gone, it wasn't easy having to leave the apartment after just getting it all in place. It was, however, absolutely bliss being able to sleep in until 7:30am rather than getting up at 6:20am! That one extra hour of sleep made a world of difference.
As much as I am enjoying work, we already had kids coming in sick and I had to clean up several bathroom related accidents that I would rather not go in to detail about. Let's just say, sickness equals messy pants. Bleh! Also, there have been several kids challenging my authority since I am a new teacher, which isn't too surprising. I figured that much would happen. The main thing that is bringing me down (other than spending the day surrounded by someone else's feces) is the fact that I am already feeling sick! I'm hoping I don't come down with something already. But with some many kids already sick as it is, this ever growing feeling that I am coming down with something isn't very encouraging.
On a cute note, while I was on the playground, a kid asked me what bruises were. I tried to explain that they are sore spots on our skin that happen when something hits our skin too hard. "They show up as a dark spots on your skin" I explained.
"Oh." The boy responded. "I get it. You have them all over your arm." He said.
Confused, I looked at where he was pointing. He was pointing at the freckles on my arms. It was an understandable and cute mistake. I guess I gadda work on explaining things to little kids. How do you explain what a bruise is?...Makes you think.
Pickle's say the darnedest things.
