Fried

Lately, I feel as if I'm getting a little crispy around the edges. There are ten--maybe it's nine--days until school is over and I have to say that I think I'm looking forward to it this year more than ever before. The worst part is that I have one or more meeting every day until the end. What's worse is that every meeting I attend determines the school career for one or more child. That's a lot of pressure.

The kids are wild and my sarcasm is really showing it's ugly head. Case in point: a couple of kids came off of the playground with scrapes on their knees. I asked them if they wanted me to put a bandage on it or if I could just cut it off with a pair of giant scissors. Thank goodness the kid knew me well enough to laugh. I've also started giving the kids random names. For instance, the kids come through the lunch line and say their number. As they pass by, I'll say, "Thanks, Charlotte Flowerpot!" or any other crazy thing I can think of. It gets a good laugh.

Serve me up with chips, I'm done!
