the substitute.

so i had my very first substitute teaching job today. this is how it all started.

last night. i spent the latter part of my evening by myself reading slash writing. and i decided to let my precious kitty fifi sleep on my bed. at 6:05am she begins to crawl all over my head and neck trying to wake me up. she loudly jumps off my bed with a feline puff and starts sniffing and exploring around. so after about 45 minutes of this madness i finally throw off my covers and open my door. as soon as my head hits the pillow my phone starts ringing. i am furious. who the crap is calling me before 7am?! then i checked the area code and realized it's probably someone offering me a sub job!

so i perk up, and answer. sure enough: kindergarteners.... but, i'm desperate so i said SURE! i quickly ran out of my room to get ready, met my mom in the hallway, and asked her to get pliers and fishing line, i got a sub job! my dad thought it was for some project i had been asked to lead during class, little did he know it was to take my lip ring out! so by 7:45am i was on the road!

i showed up to the school no more than 10 minutes later considering porterville is THAT small, and started my day.

the kids come in. and smell like poop. do all kindergarteners smell like poop? i don't seem to remember smelling like poop back then but maybe i did, who knows. i honestly felt like everyone this morning pooped themselves before walking in the door. so bad.

after such a CRAZY day, here are some of my favorite quotes slash stories:
1. "miss b miss b! before we leave everyone has to use the handitizer!!"
2. the word of the week this week is "have": "I HAVE A BELLY BUTTON!"
3. "miss b, dayton said chi chi"
4. i read a pop up book to my second class, and after every time i turned the page to unveil a new pop up, simultaneously in great harmony, the entire class exclaimed "WHOAAAAA!!!!!!".....everytime. i laughed to myself. i honestly couldn't help it.

too much!

but i will never do that again.
....ever.
