funny day

So, after going to the Cowboys game last night, getting home 12:30am (poor me, I know) I have to say that I was feeling less than great this morning. Luckily I have a great job and get to have my awesome kiddos make my day! So, I had to share these few funny stories....

First, one of my little girls came up to me about 30 minutes into the morning and told me that she had to hold her pee until she got to school today and when I asked why she said "our toilet is clogged and if I want to go I have to go outside under the trampoline..." It literally took everything I had not to start laughing. Kids are just so hilarious and it just made me realize how truly different my home life is than theirs.

Also, we got 400 new books last week in our otherwise VERY meager library. I took my students today and they were exploring the new books and one of them came across a copy of Twilight. I was telling them how this was one of my favorite books and one of my little boys said "I have the movie... want to come over to my house and watch it?" and I swear there was a hint of flirtation in his 6-year-old voice. Sweet sentiment, but man they grow-up fast! :)

I'm so lucky to have a job that can put me in a good mood even when I'm not having such a great day!


i had to add that today (the next day after these two things) we had a power outage for about 5 minutes. all my kids started screaming like the world was ending even though sunlight was coming in through my windows. but one of them asked to use the restroom and i told him to take a friend and be careful because the hallway and bathroom were really dark and he replied "it's ok. i can see in the dark. i eat carrots." gotta love it!

also, i am realizing that if there really was a tooth fairy, first grade teachers would be rich! my kids have already lost 4 during school hours and it has only been a month! i should take pictures of all the gaping holes because my whole class should send letters to Santa asking for at least their 2 front teeth! :)
