Well Oiled Machine

Sorry if y'all were expecting somethng sexual (see: healing, release, tension. see also: NOT HERE.) with that title. Just a little wishful thinking on my part. Every year since I started teaching, at some point in the year, the kids get to me. And I don't mean their attitudes, because we have all determined that I have no patience whatsoever. Not them, their germs. The nose picking, hand sneezing, non-hand washing after the bathroom, let me touch your hair, hold your hand, cup your face, tell you I love you and give you this sticky gummy bear but I can't just put it in your hand so you can throw it away while I'm not looking I have to put it in your mouth right NOW germs. Kinda makes sense that the Jake Gyllenhaal in the bubble movie is my favorite one OF ALL TIME (ECHO. ECho. echo....) , no?

Right in the middle of report card season, too. Because I pick the MOST OPPORTUNE times to get sick. Yeah, I'm talented like that, thank you.

Reality check and note to self: Alex, you're blogging about being sick for cripe's sake. GET A LIFE.

I shall. Adieu. Happy Le Weekend. I promise to return with SOMETHING. Because anything has to be better than this.

If it makes ya feel a little better I have been cleaning up pure liquid dhiarrea from a two year olds pullup all morning. Which caused me to miss my class for hte second time today. Not good only three weeks into the semester and 4 allowed absences with a hubby coming home in 50 days. oh ya, I said 50 days.

It's amazing if you watch kids closely! It's a wonder we're not all sick all the time. Hope you feel better soon!

Sitting here reading your blog as I eat my *wasabi peas* ...

THANKYOU SO MUCH!

You are the best, Alex. Truly and most sincerely and.seriously.adorable.

They arrived in the mail today. Fiery little buggers, the real ones, aren't they? Phew. My sinuses are well and truly cleaned out now...

But hey, Alex, thanks again. You were already one of my fave, fave bloggers. This merely serves to clinch it once and for all. (I still get a kick out that entry you did about 'nekkid ettiquette'. I will find myself stifling giggles in public whenever I think of it).

Hope you manage to ditch that cold of yours. And have a great weekend!
