Oh Hey April Fools, You're Not Very Funny.

Today was horrible. Absolutely horrible.
First of all, the sun was SCREAMING my name (it was, I could totally hear it.).
But I didn't get to enjoy it since my little guy decided to hate me today and spit at me whenever I said "No, Work First." 136 times my friends! In the face!
Since he decided to be naughty, some of the other kids thought it'd be the cool thing to do.
I can totally hear them think "Oh heeey, he gets one on one attention I should be naughty too so I can get that!! Who cares if the Teachers patience and tolerance are on the verge of extinction!"
The whole April fools thing was pretty funny  for the first hour.When I walked into the classroom this morning, one of the kids informed me that I had bugs coming out of my jacket pocket. I may or may not have jumped. And I may or may not have let out a tiny scream. Teacher Shannon is pretty dang gullible.  We tried to convince the kids it was the last day of school, we even had the principal get on the intercom and announce it. At first I was all sad I was the only one that didn't want it to be the last day of school. But by 11am, I was totally wishing it was the last day of school.

My patience has never been so tested as it was today. There were a few times I had to look over at the Teacher and ask her to switch me before I lost it. People always tell me they don't know how I do it... It usually isn't that hard...those kids are super easy to love, especially my little guy and loving them, and knowing their potential can get you through the rough days. It's all about perspective. You learn you have to laugh at little things that happen, because if you let the little things get to you, well, you'll burn out and die pretty quick on the rough days. Sometimes you either have to laugh or cry, laughing is a lot more fun than crying.
Today wasn't either a laughing nor crying day. It was a "i'm-about-to-lose-my-sanity" day.

I'm thinking I really have lost part of my sanity. I still want to go into special ed, I still have no desire to change my major! Good thing is, I'm pretty sure there's not much left out there that could surprise me or throw me off guard.
