So, I have been back in the saddle again for two weeks and I must say teaching general ed is a lot of work but fun. I really dig my students and they me.. I have begun to make new friends and ties to the community. I do have a few funny stories to share since the start of school. My students are coping with my size by leaving me milk, flinstone vitamins, and not recognized my size instead recognize that I am wearing a green hat and shirt. Walking behind my students in line, they were stopped by my principal and asked where is your teacher? I stepped out and waved.. She was a little embarrassed and impressed at their line walking ability. Yes, we teach how to walk in a line. I think it will be on the next TAKS test.. I went to a gathering of friends from all schools and it was there that my fame was confirmed. My car pooling friend often tells me she hears of the most recent little person sighting at her school. I am now waiting for the local paper to come and conduct an interview.. I wonder if I am the only LP there? Doubt it, but hey the community won't forget me..
Life is slowly coming along and the months are passing by. I am so ready for this year to be over with. I miss my parents, I ache and hurt for Sawyer. (I am hoping to go in Jan. waiting for confirmation.) India is moving along nicely as well. Two at once to start off my new year.. Very exciting.. Maybe my tree hugger friend can get a passport and come along for the ride..
Still breathing and laughing a lot thanks to David Sedaris..
