The Honeymoon's Over

And I don't mean my marriage, oh no. I mean the kids. They were sweet little angels last week, all shy and stuff. And today they threw around the attitude and apathy like there was no tomorrow. I told myself this week things would be different today and hell if they weren't. I swear, if I could, I would take every last child at that school and send them to boot camp. BUT: it's got nothing to do with me...I hope. I have to remember that. Whew - being a teacher is hard, folks. 

However, I'm still oh so proud of my classroom - just take a peek at the before and after shots, why don't you, and tell me you wouldn't want to hang in Mrs. C's room...

ANOTHER "BEFORE":

AND THE "AFTER":

I don't know if the kids appreciate it, but I do. My wonderful husband helped me paint. He was so helpful. He gathered kids, like Blake, to throw stuff out, took time of his own to get all sweaty and help move stuff around, and without his help I wouldn't have gotten it done and we wouldn't have gone to Colorado!!

I'm makin' some kick-ass lentils right now, listening to the Marie Antoinette soundtrack, and enjoying being at home...
