Finished my fourth day of seven today. The only thing going for it is that at the end, I'll have three days off. I still don't know what I'm going to do with myself during that time.
I currently have a cat kneading the blankets over my feet. I sat up to pet him and got glared at because me feet moved.
I had the most awesome moment at school today. I went to check on one of my classes (chicken pox sucks huge donkey balls) and I was going up a stairway I previously did not know about. I got about a quarter of the way up and I saw some of the kids from my babies coming down the stairs. I stopped and said good morning to them and they said good morning back. Then it happened.
Ten kids or so come down the stairs and are all smiles and "Hi, Kathy-laoshi." when this one little girl sees me. She goes complete fangirl on me. I'm talking screaming, flailing, jumping. It was great. The only way I can put it to give you the image properly - picture fan reactions to The Beatles when they first hit it big. You know the video clips of the girls going insane during their television performances? That's the kind of reaction I got from this little girl. Her teacher and I just started dying. I think the teacher was a little embarrassed by it but I loved it. I held the girl's hand as she was going down the stairs because she wouldn't walk and she was causing a traffic jam. She was so cute.
I have been wondering when this celebrity-like reaction I get from the kids is going to stop and I have to admit, I don't want it to. I love hearing them yell hi to me as I walk by, or having one of them run out to get me as I'm walking by so I can say hi to everyone in the lunch room. The first time it happened made me laugh. I was going to lunch and this little boy was going to the bathroom. He passed me, stopped, realized it was me and ran up and grabbed my hand. He pulled me to the lunch room and banged on the door telling them that he had me. He then took off because he couldn't hold it any longer.
I really should be asleep now and I will be soon. I have to finished the
Cracked article I was reading first. I also wanted to write about
Fakhra Younus but I can't right now. I am a mixture of anger and deep, deep sorrow about this case. I can only imagine what her son is going through and if he had any sign before hand about what her thoughts were. I hope she is at peace now.
