Blisters? What did they do to you?

"The meek shall inherit the earth" isn't about children. It's about deer. We're all going to get messed the fuckup by a bunch of cloned super-deer.- samfish2bcrab

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman

Re: shamwow!

  • made me purchase comfy shoes to wear to chase them around all day, but since they're brand new they rub in some places, so I guess that defeats the purpose of the comfy shoe.  They'll get better once I wear them a few more times.  At least the bottoms of my feet were taken care of ;)

     

  • Phew, I was worried they took "roast the newbie" literally.

    Is your room still looking pretty? Do you like the other teachers?

  • My room looks pretty good, but it still needs a lot of work.  For one thing, I only have one outlet. One. And I have a computer table but no computers, and also no internet outlet.  All of that should more or less get solved eventually, but I'm not sure how long it will take.  And I need to do some more rearranging of cabinets if I can because I need a bit more space and two of them are blocking the only airflow into my area so it is H-O-T in there by mid-day. But I'm still excited about all my brand new toys and puzzles and games, etc. so I really can't complain too much :)

    I adore my mentor teacher, and everyone else I've met so far has been extremely warm and welcoming.  So all in all I'm feeling pretty great!

  • Yay.  Good story!

    Seriously though, when do you expect to get more kiddos?

  • I'll get more kiddos once they've been tested and gone through all the ARD process.  They'll start slowly trickling in and then I know they do a ton of shuffling around if kids after Labor Day, so we may get some (or a flood) of them around that time.

    This is the calm before the storm so I'm trying to enjoy it and get as much preparation and learning out of the "down" time as I possibly can!

  • I forgot with the time difference "after work hours" was nothing worth smearing my eyeliner and rending my garments over. Glad you got a good start!

  • Sorry if you've already told us and I missed it. But how many kids do you have so far? What's the age group?

    Oh,and I almost forgot, did you get to play with anything cool yet like moon sand?

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
  • Right now we only have 8 total, and we're getting another next week.  They're all pre-k, so 3-5 years old.  And completely adorable.  Even when they're a handful.

    I haven't broken out the good stuff yet, but we've done plenty of singing and dancing,  and story time, and just generally getting them straight back into their structured routine. 

  • Ooh, that's a fun age. I hope you started working on an extensive collection of Holiday themed socks and sweatshirts.
