Really?

So this morning I am standing in the main office when a little girl walks in screaming. It was before 8:30 so I really was not prepared for the madness, but since the front office ladies where conveniently out of sight, I decided to ask her what the problem was.  This, dear friends, is yet another example of why I should just keep my mouth shut.

Me: What's the problem?

Little Girl:  I don't feel well and I have a hole in my ear.

Me: A what?

LG:  I have this hole in my ear and it hurts.  I need to call my mom.

Me: OK, let me see it.


She moves her hand and the hole that she is talking about it for her pierced ear.  See some kinda way she has lost one earring this morning and while looking in the mirror in the bathroom, has, for the first time, seen the hole in her ear. 

You gotta be kidding me!

After a 10 minute conversation about why the hole was in her ear (and actually removing my earring so that she could SEE the hole) she was able to calmly return to breakfast.  They were having blueberry pancakes.  I however, had wasted my morning and will be dining on the breakfast delicacy of Funyuns and Pepsi.  I am so angry that I think I might breathe my Funyun breath on all the kids during Guided Reading.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We have less than 10 days of school left!

I don't think I have been this happy since I heard  The Game was coming back on BET on the same day there would be a shoe sale at Macy's! I really hate to say it, but I am so ready for this batch of student to move on. That way, I can get a brand new crop of  so fresh and so clean first graders.

This group has got to go.

As a matter of fact, there are a couple (OK, truth be told a few) that if there parents would go along with it, I would mark as present for the rest of the school year and give them straight A's on their report cards.

Not, happening.

As much as I am looking forward to Summer, I am sure there are parents who are at home right now crying because they realize that, just like me, they have only about 10 days left....


Yeah...

And then Little Le'Monjello is at home with you ALL summer making your life as grand as he did mine this year.

Aw...I love summer!
