I miss school

I went to a friend’s 2nd grade classroom this morning to help out for a festival day. I never thought I’d say it, but I miss school. I miss walking around the classroom and being in charge!! I had to bite my tongue from trying to take over Jill’s class. Not b/c she’s a bad teacher, she is doing a great job, but instead I wanted in on the action.

For some reason, I just don’t get this excited being a home school teacher. I think a lot of it has to do with the "home" part of it.

However, I have to say that I don’t miss the 20+ kids with runny noses and hacking coughs! Part of the reason I came was to read the story, same one, to four different classes since Jill’s voice was hoarse. She’s been fighting this thing for a few weeks, but at this time of year it’s a losing battle. I entered with my Airborne and zinc lozenges!! I left with Purell.

The boys spent the day with Grammy and Papa, and one boy stayed. My parents are supposed to come out on Sunday, so hopefully they’ll remember that Picklehead. I am off, too much to do, too sleepy to finish it all
