vivienBefore my rant, let me say HAPPY BIRTHDAY ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flourish!!!!! I hope you had a wonderful wonderful day.
My students nearly succeeded in driving me mad today. My morning class seemed to be comprised of children who had never actually attended school before. I got so tired of hearing that long, drawn-out, high pitched "Teeeeacher" or "Miss Micheeeeeellle". *shudder* those words will haunt my nightmares. Plus all of the morning kids were actually there and they were all extra specially needy. One girl broke her new glasses. Kinda on purpose. A trio of boys (two with the coool already and one without, though he desperately tries way to hard) were bickering over who got to play with who, who got to sit by who.
Afternoon kids did not all show up - this is always a good thing - but they were no better. New little voices saying "Teeeeeacher, she bumped the table" or "Are we going outside?" asked repeatedly until I just started saying no, we aren't. And then we noticed one kid had ringworm. EWWWWWWW! But I'd rather deal with ringworm than lice. Icky icky icky.
Thank goodness for Girls Club and new Smallville/Angel and adult conversation tonight!
