Is it the weekend yet?

I knew today was going to be a long day when a kid threw up all over the back of my room before the bell even rang because he was crying so hard for his mom...sick.  Then it only got longer due to the fact that we had open house tonight and I just got home at 8:45.  Whatever happened to 9-5 jobs...I probably should have looked in to them more on career day!  As the day progressed one of my angels got a nose bleed like a fire hose and to top off the school day one of my other kids peed all over himself after lunch because he couldn't figure out how to unbutton his pants...sweet.  I absolutely love teaching but days like today do make the fact that we get a whole summer off worth it.  However, tonight at open house one of my student's parents from last year told me that she had a really hard time adjusting over the summer to not being with me everyday.  Turns out she would not go to sleep without holding on to a picture of me and her from graduation...those are the things that make my job so enjoyable and worth every day like today.  Thank God tomorrow is Friday, and we are heading to Charleston this weekend for Hyla and Bradley's wedding!  I can't wait!
