Jessica is out sick with the flu FOR THE WHOLE WEEK! Don't get me wrong - I do not want a child to be sick and have to miss an entire week of school. At the same time though, I am selfishly doing backflips because I feel like I can actually breath. I don't have to watch her all day while trying to teach. A few events of note over the past week:
1. My students know I am already married, but they don't quite understand what that means. Usually Stephen asks me when I'm going to get a new boyfriend. Tuesday he asked me to marry him. I said I already had a husband. Then Aaron said, "When I grow up, I'm going to have a husband." Of course he doesn't really know what that means, but he already kissed a boy so you never know.
2. We play a game called "Silent Ball" in my room as a short break from work. The kids stand in a circle and throw a squishy ball to each other. They get out by: talking or making any noises, dropping the ball, making a bad throw. The only thing you CAN say is the name of the person you are throwing the ball to. We also have a rule that if you do get out, then you have to be a good sport or we won't play again.
Usually during this game Beth (autistic) will be off in a corner doing her own thing. Today she stood in the circle and played the game! She caght the ball when the kids threw it to her. I would point and say a name for her to throw it to, and she did! Very exciting.
3. Stephen threw up right after lunch in the doorway of my classroom. Thankfully, there was no domino effect. Nasty.
