I am grumpy today. This is the third major cold since the school year started and I am not happy. I shouldn't take it out on my students, and I certainly try not too, but my patience wears thin when I am ill. One of my pet peeves is when students hover around my desk.... two want to go to the restroom, one wants to call their mom, three want an updated grade sheet, and one wants to just hang around my desk and bug me. So, today I spent a good portion of the day shooing students away...threatening to cough on them and giving the evil eye to those who would not take "NO" as an answer. MOST of them got the point and steered clear of grumpy Mrs. J.
OK, on another note, yesterday I took this photo of my friend's little girl, Ella. She is so darn cute; I just had to share. Ella makes me smile even when I am feeling dumpy. Love her stylish little poncho.
Ah yes the famous teacher desk hover! I know it well as they learn it young! Hope you are feeling better soon kidddo!
