What a wonderful spring day! This week just seemed to disappear and today I have been “uncharacteristically bubbly” as my co-workers informed me.
Monday was nothing exciting. I realized in my kindergarten class that I wonder why I ever wanted them to start talking; they won’t shut-up now.
Tuesday was “one of those days;” the “why did I get out of bed because so many things will go wacko today” days. We had an early meeting for work and I was like two minutes late to meet Brooke for the walk so I was hurrying across the road I got to the yellow lines in the middle and the next thing I know I was on the ground by the sidewalk on the other side. Somehow I tripped and skidded across two lanes. And what were the first things to go through my mind when I realized that I was splayed out on a busy road: Did I shatter my watch, Did I Blackout and is there a taxi coming my way. I realize that those are not in the proper order, but that is the order I thought about them in. (You also have to remember that taxis often speed up and hit people here-they stop only for a fare!)
When I did finally manage to get myself up and onto the sidewalk I noticed that my pants had not torn or anything (major plus), but my knees were nice and bloody and I was having general difficulty walking (threw something out-jarred my back weird). All of this occurred under the watchful eye of two old Korean women who debated whether they should try to help me or not; one finally did approach me and attempt to see if I was okay. At that point I proceeded up the hill to try to find Brooke, who had missed all of this and was being informed of it by two of my other co-workers who watched it all. I thought it best to “walk it off” and we four meandered on to work. The rest of the day was full of little things that made it the “if one more thing happens” kind of day that I meant.
Wednesday was fairly uneventful as well. The Kindergarteners were very very bad and have been banned from the playroom until next Monday-which is a good punishment for them, but also punishes me since I adore going in there to play with them. I got everything done during prep that I wanted to try to get done-which was super nice…
And today I was “bubbly” for no real reason. I had fun with the kids…many are getting used to me and life at LCI. I had fun with my co-workers and got a little sunburn at lunch while enjoying the perfect weather. All of my 6 o’clock kids had their homework done for once and were not as whiny as usual. And finally-I am looking forward to tomorrow and the weekend…
