Confessions: Teacher Edition

• 6:45 AM is way early. Way earlier than I'm used to seeing.

• I forgot how much I miss being around kids all day.
• I have the very best, most up-to-date technology in my classroom, which kind of makes me want to pee my pants.
  
• I've been asked 456 times, "Are you nice?"
  
• I respond with, "I can be, but not usually." which is a complete and total lie....most of the time.
• I need new shoes. Comfortable ones.
  
• I also need some brown earrings for the days when I wear brown.
• The past two days I've been wearing my pearls because that's what a southern girl does.
• Some of these kids think I'm from a foreign county because of the way I talk.
  
• Speaking of foreign countries, I have two kids that don't speak English. Awesome.
  
• My kids (and almost all the kids there) have FILTHY mouths.
  
• For example, I said "nice" and they thought I said a-double-dollar-signs.
  
• I had to make one of my class rules "NO PROFANITY" which is slightly ridiculous.
  
• Despite that fact, I'm completely excited.
• The dramatic change in lifestyle has left me exhausted. And my house is a hot mess. And the sink is full of dishes. And we aren't even going to talk about the laundry.
  
• Did I mention that Monday I did a full house super clean?
• Also, I need a nap. In a real bad way.
• I need to see a chiropractor and have a full-body massage too.
  
• Yesterday, the kids were reading a Black History month newspaper insert when a black girl said out loud, "I didn't know black people even went into space."

Ok. I must go fix my hair and put on my face now so I don't scare the children. Peace out, Yo.
