Pondering...

Why are Mondays doomed to be rough??? Sequence of events this morning, rough start, hopefully it can get better..

6:45 - wake.. since I have to be at school early this whole week. Hate morning duty!
7:15-7:45 - morning hallway duty. HATE. IT. I don't like noises in the morning and 100 first graders makes a LOT of noise.. Bad start.
7:45 - Read "bad" note from the Sub on Friday. Not surprised but very disappointed just the same. They know better.
7:45-8:05 - announcements.. changing colors already because I warned them and they continued. Too bad for them.
8:05 - Newest of my new students comes up to my desk and says "I don't feel good." I see his face and I can tell he really doesn't. About to get a nurses pass for him and then it happens. It was almost like slow motion. Turns green, cheeks swell as if it was already there... Quick reaction - I joust for the trash can and thankfully his projectile and the forward moving trash can met perfectly and none got on me. A tiny portion landed on the floor. So I had to comfort him - gagging the entire time. Terrible.

So then he went home. Could it have been me instead? Kinda wish now. Hopefully since the morning is over the day will get better.. Well see..
