Midweek Filler

Today a mouse scurried right in the door of my classroom, past a wide-eyed student, down the center of the classroom and finally (thankfully!) under the heater. My fourth grade boys proceeded to finish the lesson (what could be salvaged)with their feet tucked under their bottoms. =) Usually the mice stay out of my room (as far as I know!) and wander about in the other, busier, "trashier" rooms. Lately, about once a week you will hear screams (teacher led, I might add) from one of the halls. Lambs and mice do not belong at school.


My knee is killing me! Back in early November I tripped on a preschooler's shoelaces and tried not to fall on the poor girl. I managed to avoid T@j-Zh@ne, but fell square on my right knee. It's still hurting two months later. I don't really have a doctor since (knock on wood) I rarely need one. I'm never gonna run the next half-marathon or be able to kneel and clean up Ellie's toys if it doesn't heal soon! My SIL, however, is burning up the treadmill for the Sh@mrock 8k.(Way to go, D!)

I filled out my summer school application today. Another opportunity to save money for China, right?!

Lastly, it's Re@ding Month so we have guest readers Friday (therefore, no way I can interupt for therapy as it is on par with testing!) and tomorrow is pajama day! Yup, even the teachers!
