Thoughts from this week

Why am I STILL sick?  Kids are so germy.

I really need to get a real job.  Despite feeling exhausted (and sick), I had such a great week.  It's so nice to have a purpose to get out of bed.  And teaching is just so darn rewarding.

Getting a sip of water seems to magically fix every head, stomach, and toothache for ten year olds.  I wish it fixed my disgusting, lingering cold.

Kids are so rude brutally honest:

"Your voice is so scratchy, it's hurting my ears."
"Why is your nose so red and chapped?"
"Last week you looked beautiful, but this week you look tired."
"Are you sure you want to eat that?  I thought you were trying not to get fat."
"Why did you leave your husband?!  Are you getting divorced ALREADY?!"

Introducing treasure chests have seems to have fixed all the foolishness that was happening in the classroom last week.  We had a great five days!  But apparently I can't teach half of these kids without extrinsic rewards.  Awesome.
 
Southern Living has amazing Thanksgiving sides, but they are SO unhealthy.  I made this for a party last Saturday, and never realized vegetables could be so bad for you.

I don't know why people pay to get ombre hair.  My hair does it for free every three months when I am too lazy and cheap to get it colored again.

I miss my RJ-Bear so much, and CAN'T WAIT to see him in one hour!  Remind me never to leave him again.

Happy Friday everyone!

This is how I am feeling at the moment!  Hope you are as well :)
