Could be worse

I am so tired! During recess this afternoon I literally just laid down and took a teeny nap. It is so tiring keeping up with my kids! 15 piggy back rides every recess. 15 hands up in in the air after every assignment. 15 kids asking to go to the bathroom every time it rains just so they can get wet. On the up side, we had computer class for the first time today! It was a nice little break from the usual routine. My kids got the giggles the 2nd part of the day, and literally couldn't stop laughing no matter what. I got to sub for 6th grade PE because Tammi didn't know how to play capture the flag! Right after I finished at 2:30 I ran to the gym to teach them! They were so funny and so cute. The other day I brought Austin, who teaches 3rd grade, some stuff he left at our apartment. He was so happy that he told all his kids to hug me every time they see me. I literally have never seen one of those kids without them giving me a giant hug. So, today when I was out teaching 6th grade PE, he let his kids out for recess and they all ran up and attacked me. This started off my 2nd grade who were waiting for their parents to pick them up and I had them all attack me too. There is just so much love at this school! I truly love every single one of my kids, even though sometimes I just want to scream. There are always cute things that make me laugh when I'm trying to be serious too! After school we talked for a while and then went back to our apartment. On the way upstairs, we ran into Jesse and Hayley and she was crying. We tried to figure out what was wrong but she just went inside. Later on she came up and explained what a terrible day she had! Some of the kids in high school are so mean! She and Jesse ride the bus from PMA every day after school and always sit in the same seat. Today some mean kid wrote really bad words on their seat and put sticky glue down so when they would sit down they would get all messy. Another girl always talks back to her in class and rips up the detention slips she gives her. Right now I am so grateful that I don't have to teach in high school! All I have to do is promise my kids some marbles and I get relative silence.
I am so excited for our trip to the rock islands this weekend! I finally turned in the photo we were supposed to give today, even though I had to take my lunch break to go get it done. We got our passes and only had to pay $15! We have to bring our own food and water and bedding, but it's still going to be such a fun adventure! I can't wait to sleep in a hammock and spear fish! It's such a nice break that there is no school Monday. A break is greatly needed.
