Is this really happening?


If I had could say anything to sum up last week, it would be that.

Let's start with Monday...
-My right arm has been hurting like crazy for the past month, then all of a sudden my left one starts up. Well some other weird stuff happens so I finally break down and go to the doctor thinking he'll just say I've been tossing too many bad children against the wall and I really should stretch before going into the classroom. Instead his response was..."That's weird. I'm going to have you get a chest x-ray and both arms x-rayed and you are going to give a blood sample." Gulp. To those that don't already know this...I HATE GIVING BLOOD. This would be the reason why when my dad plans and puts hours and hours of time into organizing a church blood drive...I simply refuse. Don't care if I am going to hell, I'm not doin it. Well, he said that he thinks God was punishing me and now I have to go give blood whether I like it or not. Thanks for the support dad. :)May not sound like a big deal to you, but I will fully take on the title of Pansy because it was a big deal to me.

Tuesday...
-Let's just say if you have two people listed in the contacts of your phone with very similar names...be sure to check and see who you are really sending your text messages to. ESPECIALLY if the text in question is about one of those people. You really wouldn't want to accidentally send a rather embarrassing text to the wrong person and then feel like a total idiot. Of course, this didn't happen to me, I'm just sayin be careful....I would never do something that stupid. I swear...

Friday...
-My Principal walks in while my kids are playing a rousing game of quiet ball/math trivia. This game involves the children sitting on their desks, catching a ball and answering a math question. Innocent enough right? Well, the first comment my principal makes is, "Make sure their feet are dangling and not tucked underneath them in case they happen to reach too far. Wouldn't want a safety issue." Totally right, which I DO tell my kids that, but since when are all your students doing exactly what you want them to be doing, especially when your Principal comes in right? So, I do a quick scan...NICE! Everyone is sitting flat. Time for the next question "Joey tell me what number is in the ten-thousand place." I turn to write the number and CRASH! One of my students inevitably has fallen off her desk, and is now crying on the floor with the desk on top of her. And YES. My Principal is STILL standing in the back of my classroom. Crap. I swoop into action catching the mixed look of horror, shock and I told you so on his face. Send the kid to the nurse immediately tell my kids to sit in their chairs and try to save some of my credibility as a teacher. Murphy's Law says stuff like that will happen. Well I want to know, who the heck is Murphy and since when was he in charge?

So there you go...I may be a drama queen but I felt like it was a rather eventful week. And yes, I did get my blood taken this morning, and yes I did almost pass out on my way to the bathroom to give another kind of sample. Not my proudest moment.
