Oh what a day

Sometimes children can be so horrible. I really feel I need a very stiff drink after today. It all started with both Jo my summer teaching partner and I showed up to work tired and grumpy. Well that seemed to be the theme for all the children, plus their ears all seemed to be broken. Nothing that came out of my mouth, or Jo's was listened to in the slightest. I got to point where I would just all the kids name over and over again and count how many time I did before they came. The record was 12, can you imagine saying someones name 12 times and they not even looking up to see who is saying their name. So Frustrating. I hate to always yell, but that seems to be the only way for me to get my point across or to get their attention. I do have a naturally louder tone to my voice so yelling is the next step-up. It is getting to the point that I have started saying "no more chance" and "I am taking free swim away" at least six times a day. This is not how I want to spend the day.

I also have this 14 year old LIT (Leader In Training) in my room just one day a week, and I loath the day he comes in. Austin means well, but good god he is so annoying. He gets all the kids worked up, tries to talk over me when I am giving instructions, and worst yet thinks that I am also 14 so that I want him to constantly put his arm around me when we are talking. I actually had to tell him today not to touch me because I am married, and then I kicked him in the stomach. Not hard, but just kind of a tae-boesk get the hell away from me you freaking psycho kick. I still don't think he gets it. I guess Thursday is his last day with us and I can't wait.

Tomorrow is my 4th anniversary with my wonderful husband and I am so looking forward to it. We haven't decided if we will go out to eat yet, but either way there will be presents involved. I love giving present just as much as receiving them. It will be fun.
