Lovin the rain

Today was uncharastically fantastic. I got up a bit early, around 4, and then woke up again for every 20 minutes until 6:30. Luckily, Austin arrived at 7 so we went and got coffee! Once I had that in my system, the day was sparkley! We whipped through bible and all other subjects, taking pictures in between! The kids were relatively quiet and no one had back work! Another small victory is that no one cried at recess! Talk about a day of firsts. The day went well and after school I even stayed for a while to grade and clean up my room. Shayne came in and asked me to read her a book, which turned into 4 books. I finally headed home around 4 and just as I entered our apartment, it began to pour rain! Tammi, Jeanine, and I literally skipped down the stairs and down to the street just so we could frolic in the rain! It felt so good that I wanted to slide, but there were still about 40 kids left at school and they were already giving us weird looks. I finally just couldn't contain myself and had to run down the street and get all wet. Once we got to the opposite end of the school, we heard Ms. Igalau calling Tammi's name. We thought for sure that we would get in trouble, especially Tammi because she was out of uniform and in shorts. When we got there, we saw three boys all being held apart by Jojo, another teacher. Apparently they had been fist fighting and they were in Tammi's class. She had to deal with that, while Jeanine and I just sat in the rain. After it was finally over, we went to get Taro shakes and I got to console them both because they had a terrible day. In Jeanines class, a little boy Ponchie punched 3 kids! Tammi's kids had to lose recess because they were being so loud and disruptive. Thank goodness I had such an easy day! We also went grocery shopping and I can officially say I am out of money. Luckily we get paid on Friday, before our staff retreat to the rock islands!
