Fish Under Water

goldfish.gif The first week back as a full time teacher is always bizarre, as is the second, especially when it is the middle of the year. I think dh had visions of full time department of defense pay checks in his head, and instead he just says..."Are you always like this?" "Like this? Like what?" "You can't wait to teach full time again and then you want to hurt them." "Yup."

And so it is. Every time I tried to talk this morning, one little kid took it upon himself to make motorcycle sounds.

Good Mo...
VRROOOM! VROOOOM!
(pause, pause) Hello Ever....
VROOOM! VROOM!
HI! Did you a....
(louder, and more forcefully) VROOOM! VROOOOM! VROOOM! (this time with added hand motions)

And you all wonder why I have a drinking problem. I've got some added hand motions for that kid.

Perhaps I should've spent this weekend doing less this:

And more lesson planning.

But if you were making your lesson plans, you'd have to think about the little runts, and you don't really want to be doing that on the weekend.

i think perhaps the problem is that you can't drink in class.

Do you think you'd get in trouble if you showed that kid a montage of motorcycle accidents?

A whistle and a fire hose should do the trick.

Omg, that's so cute! You'd have a great career ahead of you in Grease!
