T.G.I.F.

All I have to say is T.G.I.F.

You have NO IDEA what kind of week I had! Let me give you a recap:

~I was on the playground and a little girl in my friends class (she teaches a 2/3 year old class)started to cry because she fell so I picked her up and she peed all over me. On my new shirt, on my capri pants, down my leg, and on my shoes and feet. (Great, right?) To make it worse I couldn't go home because I had Parent/Teacher Conferences scheduled all day. I had to go to the bathroom, soap up my clothes, wash my leg & foot. Then I lysol'd myself just to make sure.. YUCK! This actually happened to me twice this year - I told my friend from now on I'm going

to let her kids cry.. Hey's it's better then getting peed on!

~About 3 months ago I ordered tadpoles for my class. We got them while they were still in their sac - they were such tiny little babies when we got them. Over the past 3 months I nurtured those things like they were my children, changing the water everyday, using bottled water(or else they'd die), feeding them, etc!! My class is very attached to them. Every weekend a child gets to take them home to babsit them. So, I took a personal day on Monday because I just needed the R&R - I come back early Tuesday morning to find ALL of our tadpoles DEAD!! My substitute took it upon herself to change their water - and used Tap water which killed them.. I was sooo upset. My boss had to run out and buy new ones or else my kids would have been heartbroken. Unfortunately, my boss couldn't get ones that were the same size -the ones she got were almost double in size - my kids still can't believe how much they grew overnight!! LOL!! Thank god they're in Kindergarten!

~Then Wednesday around 2 pm one of my kids threw-up all over the desks. He threw up in his desk, on 2 other students, on the carpet, do I need to go on. It was horrible! And can you believe this - his Mom brought him back to school the next day.. So I stood up for myslef and told her she had to bring him home. In my school we have an ilness policy - NO fever or vomitting within the last 24 hours. She said, "well he only threw up a little and he hasn't thrown up sice yesterday afternoon." HELLO? Keep your kid home and let him rest.. But I won, she took him home! But she did bring him back yesterday with a yellow & green runny nose.. Thank god for Vitamin C, lysol, and handsanitizer!

So again - T.G.I.F.!! I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. I'm gonna visit my gorgeous niece Eliza and my best friends Danielle & Pete. Sunday Brian & I are going to sleep in make breakfast in bed, and watch movies all day!

I need it after the week I had...
