Just when my day felt like it couldn't get much worse

[artist4perry]

Picture this... a migraine headache and loud screaming kids in a teeny tiny trailer room for hours in a day. The migraine doesn't let up, if anything it gets intense. Tylenol is all I had, and it was not working. To add to it some of my little girls feel they have to yell above everyone else to be heard. I remind them to please keep it to inside voices. They are K-4th grade level, and they are normal kids so what can you do?...Suck it up and love them in spite of it all.

I came home and put a thing on my facebook about how 4th graders and migraines do not mix. A few minutes later one of my former students comes on the thread and told me they hope my headache gets better, to hang in there, and told me I was a kick butt teacher and they missed me very much. *insert tears of joy here*

I cannot tell you what it is like to go into Walmart or Hays and have students grab their parents hands and point to me with the biggest smile on their face and say "MOM! MOM! THAT IS MRS. GINGER! SHE'S MY ART TEACHER! MOM! MOM!"

Or to have former students see me on the street and run to hug me, and tell me they miss me.

I had a pretty crappy day. I felt like crap, and my arthritis has been hounding my back for three days making walking and normal activity severely painful.

Amazing how your students can make you forget all about those things.

I love my job. These kids make teaching a pleasure.

Thanks Nora. These kids are wonderful. I had three little girls recognize me at the grocery store on the way home. Two hugged me and I had to tell their parents who I was so they would not freak over some stranger hugging their child! LOL

Teachers are great.
Especially when they're hot.

In my case that would be more because of the hormonal fluctuations.

But I know you were referring to the hot young teachers.

Not the pre-menapausal cuties like me.

Good to read this Ginger.
I'm always amazed how the little things like this can turn
a day around.
We have the power to help each other with just a kind word.
Imagine what good could be done if we didn't often use
that power to destroy and damage instead.
Here's to a dandy day ahead for you! (raising coffee mug)

Wrong, and don't ever sell yourself short again, lol.

True stuff Moon Beam! Today was good, the headache was gone, and I had fun making Mardi Gras masks with the kids.
