A day in the life of Mrs. S....

Being pregnant and teaching first grade has definitely been an adventure. Some days I come home and pass out on the couch and forget what time and day it is. When I vent to my friends/family I think they envision teaching how it was "back in the day". No perfect days for this chick! This week I just sorta observed and wrote down some things I found interesting...and it may help those who don't understand what my day is like, understand it a little bit better :)

Monday: (student from another country) "Mrs. S last night my dad and I killed a dog and ate it, we didn't want it to go to waste"

Tuesday: "Mrs. S ahhhh!! It's stuck it's stuck!"

"What's wrong"

"I stuck a leggo up my nose and can't get it out!"

(crying uncontrollably and a teacher came in my room because she thought someone was getting murdered!)

Wednesday:Student 1 "Mrs. S..You're enormous!"

Student 2 "I'm not going to time out because I don't have to....I won't get in trouble at home anyways"

Student 3: "my mom says you need to buy my snacks from now on because she doesn't have money"

Some days I feel like a mother, nurse, therapist, teacher, drill sargeant, and police officer all in one! If you know a teacher out there..make sure you give them a hug. They need love :)

Yes there are many happy stories as well but I think pregnancy has made my stress levels rise a little bit more than usual. I'm wondering how I am going to do all this next year and have enough energy for 26 little ones AND a tiny little baby. 

This rising stress I'm feeling has kind of made me think of what else I could do in the future as a back up plan. This summer I am excited because I am going to be getting my real estate license. Not super exciting I know but the thought of working a job where I don't come home completely worn out excites me :) I want baby Sev to be #1! We'll see what happens next year! :)
