Seriously, what was I thinking!!!! Do you remember when I said my school is an HOUR AND A HALF away from his....Do the Math, That's 2 hours and 15 minutes of driving!!! and between stops I have to take Ellie to daycare. So we rise at 4:00 am and start the day!!!! I make it to work by 8:30... not too bad.
Monday was supposed to be a teacher workday. This was designed so we can get our classrooms ready for the first day of school, which is Wednesday!! Instead of going to my classroom to work on the disaster area that I call a classroom, I have to go to a faculty meeting. The meeting lasts till 12:00! Seriously....you gotta be kidding me....Over 3 hour faculty meeting!!!!!!
Well it finally ends and I have to find some teachers to help me out with my Morning Duty Schedule. You see my husband is a football coach and they have morning workouts at 6:30. This means that he leaves home before I am even up so he can make the 45 minute drive to his school. I have to drop my daughter off at her daycare at 7:00 (when they open) and then make my 45 minute drive to my school. Morning duty begins at 7:30. This means unless Kenny can take Ellie to daycare, I can't do morning duty. I begin trying to find teachers to swap weeks with me. I figure it should be easy since all I need is an even trade, a week during Football Season traded for a week after Football Season. Boy was I WRONG!!! It took me about an hour and a half to get that done. Now it's almost 2! I work in my room for 2 hours and then leave. I'm exhausted...
Tuesday Morning...
Before I head to our day of meeting, I begin talking to the teacher across the hall about assisting her in doing a ceiling mount for her projector. All of a sudden I feel this brush across my foot and look down and see the tail end of a mouse running across the floor into a closet. I scream like a total girl.."OH S@?#!!!" Seriously, it ran right over my foot!! Talk about a way to begin your day. (BTW...I work at a really nice school so this was one crazy encounter!)
Meetings until noon...They were supposed to be till three, so I am loving my Principal for ending early. I head straight to my room and begin working. I was really stressing out, but then God sends me these two angels my way...Two of my students came walking through my door. They spent at least an hour and a half helping me clean and organize my classroom. I truly would not have gotten done without them! I have some of the best students ever!!
So I get Ellie home and fed and then it happens...(brace yourself because this isn't for the faint of heart)...
My daughter (who is not quite two but well on her way to being potty trained) says she need to go potty... I am stoked! She just told me all on her own, without having to be asked!!! So I follow her into the bathroom and help her pull down her shorts to go potty and SQUISH!!!! I feel this gross, warm, mush all over my thumb and out of my mouth comes "Seriously!!! You gotta be kidding me!!!" Yes, she has pooped her pants and told me a little to late! My thumb is disgusting and all I can think is 'GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!!!' I leave her standing there, by the tub as I begin franticly trying to wash my hand. Then I turn to her and begin to remove her clothes and place her on the toilet. As I see that it is all over her legs and now on my toilet it becomes obvious that she must go straight into the tub for a bath, and I begin cleaning the bathroom fixtures! Out of the mouths of babes I hear Ellie say...."Daddy...where are you??" I pull my head out from under to toilet that I am now cleaning to see her looking up the water faucet and calling to her daddy! Oh, if only Kenny had been home from practice and gotten that potty trip!!!!
I hope you enjoyed laughing at my life because this Welcome to my world moment is brought to you by the crazy life of a coach's wife!!!
