Just housework today, and then stretching this evening. I think Sundays are the best day for my strength workout. I don't sleep as well on Sunday evenings, so hopefully the exercise will relax me.
Usually we have one short day on Wednesdays, the kids get out two hours early at 12:40. The teachers can attend training seminars on those days. Our time with the kids is done at 12:40 instead of 1:15. We assistants do some office work until 2:00. Next week is the week before fall break, so we have three short days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Then we are off for a week. I have an appointment with my TMJ doctor to adjust my mouth guard on Monday of Fall break, and am planning on getting some stuff done around the house. But you know how that goes!
The 7th graders are the most stressful of the bunch, they make me want to smack them at times! Being that it's a school in a lower income area, some of the kids come from bad situations. You can usually tell by how they act out, it's pretty sad. I think the 7th grade class has more than it's share of kids from difficult situations. But sometimes they make me laugh, how they try to figure out ways to break the rules. I told some of the girls they should use their smartness for good rather than evil, lol. I also told them that they are smart, they just needed to use it for something else. They did smile at that.
Wednesday was dh's and my 26th wedding anniversary. We went out to eat yesterday evening with dd and friends. We had Chinese, it was pretty good. It seems like yesterday we were dating!
Donna, I put Jessica's newest in my Watch Later. I'm hoping to do it tomorrow, hopefully I can manage a 40 minute workout! I was searching for beginner workouts to use for strength and I found a couple of channels that looked good. FitnessType and yes2next. My thoughts are with you for tomorrow.
Pam, I hope your back is feeling better. I have a lot of stories now! Especially how the boys tease the girls, you know they like them but don't know how to handle it. Yesterday, one boy in the fifth grade ran up to me and said help, she's going to dump water on my head. My response was, so what did you do to her? The girls said he grabbed my water bottle, took a drink, then threw it on the ground! I said to him, well she should have dumped water on you! Then I gave him a talk about not drinking out of other people's water bottles, if he was sick he could pass on germs. They both looked grossed out by that. Kids don't think, lol. The day before that, some fifth grade boys told me two other boys peed behind the tree. I said look, I know boys like to do this, but this is school. Use the restrooms! There was a fire yesterday on the other side of the school. Fortunately, I don't think it was serious. A couple of fire trucks drove by while the third graders were on the playground, and they went wild with excitement. We had a hard time keeping them from running to the fire. They keep us on our toes!
