Lent has started and I think I may have over done it with what I'm giving up for lent. The past two days have been extremely hard for me, basically a non stop headache. I keep telling myself next week will be better, next week will be easier, and of course my favorite saying, "Jesus hung on a cross for three hours." The days I have a headache are much harder to get through, because it is one of the days I wish I was one of the kids, can I please go lie down in the office for fifteen minutes? So, when it is time for dismissal, I'm counting down the minutes so I can leave and go home.
Usually, the weekend before a holiday weekend or holiday break, I'm eager like the children to start my weekend or vacation, too. If not a lot of children have left the classroom and it is close to the end of carpool time, I will go, "Where are your mothers?" Today to make it through dismissal, I started trying to guess what child would be called next for carpool. I guessed a child and Ralph says, "Wait, what about me? I could go next, because this is about the time I'm asking, where is my mother?" This made me laugh to myself and Ralph was right, he was the next one called.
We are sitting patiently in the carpool line! Admittedly,sometimes we are smart enough to wait until the last minute for pickup so that we don't have to wait in the carpool line. :)
