Oh man, I am EXhausted!!!
Yesterday was quite possibly the longest day ever-
And today my allergies made me all sneezy-
so I had to take medicine-
so then I was sneezy and sleepy.
and then I got aggravated
so I was sneezy and sleepy and snarky.
and then I had my limit
so I was sneezy and sleepy and snarky and snippity.
Sounds pretty icky right?
Well, in the spirit of Positive Polly-
My first bright spot of the day:
Really- look- it is bigger than my fork!
(There might be an extra charge on my lunch acct-
because this may not be the only one I ate-
however it is the only one that was photographed
and since pastries do not have DNA- I think I am safe) hee hee
More positives- here are some of the funnies from my week-
-------------------------Funny #1------------------------------
With it being Teacher Appreciation Week,
our PTO has sent a letter home that makes a list of things to do for your teacher.
Monday= something sweet /Tuesday=donate a new or used book to class etc.
I don't send those home.
I did my first year, but then I felt like I was asking for presents
(and they need to save their money for my BIG end of the year gift....hee hee)
One of my sweeties walks in with this:
OK, I was freakin' out!
Who buys a gift for their teacher from there????
Hopefully, NO ONE!
It turns out, little miss forgot her lunch box the day before.
So this is how mom packed it.
I know, right?

"Maria" comes in with a note that she is going to be checked out early
because she has to go to the dr.
I asked if she is okay.
"There's a white ball in my throat. I was playing DR with my sister and she found it."
{What kind of ball?
Foam, Ping Pong, bouncy, bingo?!"! }
So sure enough, momma picks her up.
"Maria" comes back to school .
I ask
Well, what did the doctor say?
"They are either gonna pop it
or
they are gonna take out my lungs."
{Yes, her lungs}
She was super serious.
I was giggling on the inside.
And then it was "Haley" to the rescue!!!!!!
If it she had a super power, it would be
The Ultra Consoling Hug!
She runs to pat backs, give hugs,
and spread love!!!
She starts to rub "Maria's" back
and in her super sweet firstie voice says-
"It's okay. When you get your lungs out, you get to eat A LOT of ice cream!!!"
(from what I gather, big brother had his lungs out this past summer)
There was no way that I could right this wrong
1) The innocence was priceless.
2) The consideration and love she shared was inspiring.
3) IT WAS TOO FREAKIN' FUNNY!!!!

We have the math tutoring program Compass from Odyssey .
It is time for them to take the online Post test.
It is pretty long-
and it can take quite a chunk of time.
It is not the end all be all
of testing,
It will just compare it to the pre test that they took earlier in the year.
Just a little window into their growth.
All I have to say is
THANK GOODNESS FOR FLIP FLOPS!~
I look over and "Haley" is using her fingers
AND HER TOES while she is in the adding section.
They are not allowed to use "manipulatives" with the test.
"Manipulatives" can be stored on a shelf, in a box.
Parents frown on your removing digits from their children and storing
them.
So I say,
MORE POWER TO YA SISTA!
USE THOSE TOES!
It's called resourceful- Look it up!
I'm just thankful they didn't take this test during winter:)
Tomorrow is a busy work day for me- we have
6 and a half days left- so I am heading to the room
(after I sleep in)
to work in the quietness
Sleep tight!
