The Real World...

STINKS! Next time I ever complain about being bored at home or being on bed rest (which I pray will never happen again) please tell me to shut up! Today I returned to work...nothing like being thrown back into a job involving teaching, managing, answering questions, listening to, entertaining and transporting 23 kindergartners for 7 hours. That is real work people...trust me, as I barely have enough strength left to continue my post. I don't really know how I do it 5 days a week...but I do, and I wouldn't change it for the world because when my 23 students saw me the look of excitement and the hugs were unforgettable, for about 2 seconds before the questions about the eye began, the tattling began, and the recap of what I had missed all week began...man, what a job! I love you little kindergartners...and Mrs. Rector too!

Anyway...my eye is doing great! The drops are really starting to get bothersome, but I continue on so that I can make a full recovery. Tomorrow is another crazy day with trick-or-treating added to my list of things I must do with 23 kindergartners-wish me luck! Tonight we are off to dinner (who cares that I gained .8 back this week...bring on the Mexican, next week I'll get back on the elliptical). Then we are going shopping for our Halloween costumes for our "Whatever AnnualSometimes Bi-Annual Shannon Halloween Bash." Have a great night, and thanks for checking in on me...I promise a post about our AWESOME patio soon. For now, I'm off to take a nap-a peaceful nap where I do not hear the words "Mrs. Hedgepeth" (or any variation of it)...
