Six facts

1.       I AM SO BEYOND READY FOR SPRING BREAK…….

Dear Sweet Lord in Heaven, if I can make until Friday at 3:00 without losing my sanity, I will be forever grateful. I love my job but I need a break- from it all.

2.       Scruff MaGruff got me up at 6:30 today…

Saturday morning let me remind you. He doesn’t understand please let me sleep, please, for the love of all that is good please let me sleep. No, he comes and sits on me staring me in the face and makes this raspy, low, breathing sound. It is the most annoying sound, I’m pretty sure, in the world and there is nothing like hearing it in the morning.

3.       J cannot seem to take Scruff outside when he is sleeping in the bed.

He claims to love this baby boy as much as I do but he can just block it out when he is whining. But I can tell you that I am not quiet as I pull myself out of bed to take Scruff out. Oh no, don’t you worry. I talk as loud as possible, make the door close as loud as possible and that is J’s punishment.

4.       There was a wasp in my classroom Thursday and Friday.

It became our class pet. My kiddos flipped out that it was in there. It got stuck between the blind and window and wouldn’t leave even we opened the window. Every class I had: the first 5 minutes was devoted to looking at the wasp, deciding if it should be killed and some children claiming they had phobia of being scared of bees. I kept saying this is not a bee- it’s a wasp- who has not bothered a soul.

Our class pet, sadly, lost his life to a clipboard and was stomped to death by a student. Trust me, he was ready to go after hearing all the complaining and whining the kids did when they remembered he was behind the blind.

5.       I bought a new black dress from GAP last week and wore it school. It was very comfortable and I loved it. The kids and other teachers all day kept telling me how cute I looked and one girl said I was beautiful. Clearly…….. I must look really bad- everyday.

6.       I love all my students. Even though they can drive me crazy, I love it when they say funny things.

This week one of my girls was telling a story of when she was in Florida and she said,” Mrs. Willingham, we were in Florida and my Aunt called us and told us a tornado is coming. It was so big and coming so fast like you know 5 miles an hour. It was so fast. “

It was so funny- I never corrected her just let her keep talking about the huge 5 mile an hour tornado!!!
