Lessons Learned in an Elementary School This Week

1) If you eat the salt off the sidewalk, the results may vary. One granule equals a call to Poison Control and embarrassment for your mama. Two granules equals violent vomiting.
Come on. You know you were wondering.

2) Interestingly enough, if you drink the glow juice from a glow stick, nothing happens. At all. Except that your lips become luminous. Not all that uncool, really....

3) One kid with ADHD who gets embarrassed because he ripped his pants can do unfathomable damage in about 30 seconds flat. I will be dusting glitter off the ceiling for the next 10 years. We won't even talk about the glue or the dead computer monitor.

I know not everyone's keen on snow days right before Christmas break. However, I just have to make the case for God's knowing what He's doing in these situations. Snow days provide the incentive to get up in the morning and go back to the madhouse for another day. It's just enough of a break.

I hope we're in school tomorrow, but if not....you may find me still balled up in the fetal position for a few more hours.

See why I love my job?
