Lessons Learned in Kindergarten

Student: Ms. Cluff! Joe asked me to put a seed in my ear so I did and now I can't get it out!

Ms. Cluff: Why did you put a seed in your ear?

Student: Because he asked me to!!!

Ms. Cluff: You don't have to do what he tell you to!

(The student had to go to the doctor to have the seed removed. He informed me that it hurt and bled a little)

Impromptu lesson to class: Never put anything in your ear or nose, even if someone asks you to!

Let the Countdown Begin

10 days, or

6 workdays, or

1 weekend...

This is how I keep thinking about it. It all equals the same. It won't make it come any faster. But when I think about the fact that I only have to work 6 more days, it seems like it is sooooo close.

What is it you ask?

What am I counting down?

Why am I so excited?

Let me tell you...

VEGAS!!!!!

In 10 days I am going to see the PBR (professional bull riding) Championships in Vegas.

I can't remember how long ago we planned this. I am thinking the beginning of September. I started this tradition last year where I take a week off work in the fall. We don't get a fall break in my district so I create my own. Last year I went with Kyle and Ibis to Rocky Point. I knew then that every year I needed to take a fall break.

I was trying to decide when to take my break this year and where I should go when Tim and I heard an advertisement for the PBR championships in Vegas!!!

YES!!! That was it, my mind was set!

So we leave on November 6 (Friday) and will be back on November 9 (Monday). I have the tickets to Fridays PBR event and Tim is suppose to be handling Sundays event. Last I heard he told me he would get the tickets. I don't know if he got them yet. We shall see.

So, as you can tell, I am very excited. I have never been to Vegas or the PBR. Both I have only seen on TV.

10 days!!!

my saving grace

Sometimes my little kindergarten class can be my saving grace.

I was not having a good morning. I have been frustrated about something.

Anytime I would think about it I would get upset.

I get so busy with my class that I don't have time to think about it.

Yes, my terror of a class made my day better.
