So i am in the process of registering for graduation... and i have become extremely bitter about the fact that i have to PAY for the certificate that says i graduated.. have i not paid enough already the last 5 years of my life? i mean i am paying 2 grand just this semester alone (keep in mind i am spending the LARGE majority of that semester not even at the actual college but at an elementary school...) where is my money going???? to the evaluator that said i say "good job" too much and need to google other ways of speaking praise to students.......
on a less irritated note.....
today at school i was grading the DAR (fancy name for reading test that i don't really know what it stand for) anyways this one kid.. we will call him Herbert.... is extremely "special" .. they had to write a summary of the story that they read (about a girl who makes movies using her guinea pigs and one of the movies was titled "carrot wars" and played off of the whole star wars theme.... so in his summary that was one page long he had three lines fill with "duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh.......more duh's.... and the carrot wars.... and then more words pertaining to the summary.. " confused i asked him to come and explain what he did and wanted to give him another chance at a higher score.. he said he did summarize it and didn't want to change it bc the "duhs" were the theme song for the movie... ( say "duh" to the beat of the star wars song and it will make sense..)... really it took all i had not to laugh, but i refrained and told him he was being very creative and to return back to his desk........ some days i LOVE my life...
oh and on a " reasons why i know i have entered into true motherhood stage in my life"
this afternoon when i got home i left Korbin downstairs while i ran to use the restroom upstairs(teachers don't get a time to use the bathroom) when i came back he had his pants AND diaper off AND was PLAYING with the continents of the diaper........... ........ some days i DON'T love my life....

I can totally see you telling that boy how he was creative...with your face trying not to laugh. ha! and the poopy diaper....man I hate those days!
the continents?? lol....using that word makes it sound like a very large poo....thats my boy!!!! I'm stranded in grand junction.........save me! why does SLC airport have to close down on the last day of a long week? :(
That was the best part of student teaching! The fuuny stories! As for more kids, I think I am doing a good job of convincing christian! Now its your turn to convince Russ! ha ha!
That's hilarious. I LOVE IT! And I'm sorry Russ is stranded in Colorado because of the fog. That's LAME!
Plus I love the kid and the Star Wars story. Awesome! And I hated paying for my stupid "piece of paper" diploma too.
Oh yes, the joys of the 10 million fees that come with graduation. I had lots of complaining for that too. It really is dumb all the things they make you pay for when you've already paid thousands to not even be taught anything that semester. Lame.
Love that the kid was so creative. Wait till Korbin hits 5 and his vocabulary grows...Jackson cracks us up! You need to work when I work!
I promise that I will watch the kids while you go to the bathroom tomorrow!!! :) PS-- I think "Herbert" was a great name choice, very fitting.
