Days go by

I'm still alive, I promise. Life hasn't changed much in the past month, which is both a good and bad thing. I have to take it all one day at a time, but the days keep coming and we survive every one of them. My kids are crazy hormonal middle schoolers, and I am tired, and I try to teach them some science every day.

When they frustrate me, it takes everything I have to remind myself that they are children, and if they don't know how to behave, I might have to teach them. And sometimes they are so sweet, I just want to hug them. Teaching is a funny job.

And speaking of funny....

excerpt from a note I took from a student:

"...I have a question to ask you-did you lyke me when we was selling hot dogs last friday? because you blew a kiss at me and i started 2 lyke you so when I ask my mama was we cuzins and she said NO I got happi..."

I <3 middle school and rural NC...
