Sigh.
Basically, I arrived, and the kids were very excited and eager to see me. Then we got back to the room and they showed their joy by interrupting, complaining, being as loud as possible, and responding to directions with, "But I'm just gonna..." After about 5 minutes I had to stop everything and give the how-to-be-a-good-listener speech, and the one about how to be polite to Miss Barnes, and how "you're in first grade, almost second and I shouldn't have to tell you this." It was a bit maddening.
To top it off, they were all excited for some movie/ice cream party that was happening after school, AND one kid's mom brought in two boxes of maple bars for the kid's birthday. They were going to be well-sugared by the time they got home.
It was a very tiring day even though it was only half a day and I'm glad for the weekend! :)

Thank goodness the two day job wasn't with these little kiddos. Also thank goodness you didn't have them after the maple bars and the ice cream party. Glad you made it through the afternoon in one piece!
Love you!!! MOM
