Flagless Anthems and Chinese Water Torture...
These past 3 weeks have been nothing short of absolutely ballz to the wall energy. I forgot how much energy I had in high school and it's making me feel old. I've really got to start exercising or something. These kids wear me out. Some days I wanna cry and some days I can't help but laugh. But each day I learn more and more about who they are and who I am. It's amazing that some situations cause you to be someone you didn't know you could be. I do more in one day at that school than I used to do in a week. I talk to more people in one day than I used to in a month. I've laughed at countless jokes, yelled countless times, and rolled my eyes more times than I knew possible. This job is really something else, nothing like I imagined. I told Jason last week it's sorta like Chinese Water Torture all day long...."Ms. Cooper...Ms. Cooper......." but in a good sorta way. That 'I need you' sorta way. My drill team calls me Mom and I've about become just that. From ripping out seams with a nail file to making ice packs from empty plastic wrappers I've become that woman. You know the one, just like J-low in the wedding planner. I've got a magic bag that fixes everything. I have to write these good things down to remind me on the days I want to pinch their little heads off. ;) Because after all, we should be thankful that we have so much to complain about.
