I am laughing and I am also crying inside. I miss working at my son's old elementary school back in IL! Sob, Sob! You are right, there is nothing quite like working with young children if you can embrace them and catch their enthusiasm (I actually have known several educators who, sadly, can't). Even those days when you think you're going to pull your hair out, end up making you smile.<BR/><BR/>Glad you survived. Loved how you blamed it all on your underwear (when I was student-teaching, I once wore two different colored shoes to school and not one of the HS students bothered to tell me - I found out while walking home and did a survey the next day to emphasize the need for greater rapport between students and teachers - ha!)Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00617610975455575846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-70530815104435557702008-08-17T00:43:00.000-05:002008-08-17T00:43:00.000-05:00School had already started there?! what a start to the term!Mmmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16379020705220234984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-46315644781305456462008-08-16T13:28:00.000-05:002008-08-16T13:28:00.000-05:00OMG, what a first day!!

I love your attitude about things and how the you said the kids' day was not affected. I hope you will post about this days events.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12764866689330676750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-55710827554859000442008-08-15T07:22:00.000-05:002008-08-15T07:22:00.000-05:00That was an unbelievable course of events! I apologize for my laughter as I continued reading and things got worse. I could totally see it happening in my [teacher]mind.

I mean laugh because sometimes you just have to laugh at these things don't you?? But I am really laughing at the undies inside out!!! You poor thing!
