Good morning, hyenas!
Gray, cool, snore... But
not raining!
The cutest thing EVER just happened! I took DS7 to school, and just as we were walking up to his classroom door where the kids line up, the bell rang. So he rushed into the end of the line while DS3 and I stood off to the side. The kids were chattering away about having a sub, and I'd just heard in the office that someone was looking for the woman who'd been there sub most of the year (because DS's teacher was on maternity leave; she's been back about a month.)
I asked the girls, "Are you guys having a sub today?" They were so giggly! They said, "Yes!" altogether.
I asked, "Are you having Mrs. T as your sub today?" And they squealed, "Yes!" They were practically vibrating, they were so excited!
Well, apparently a few kids saw her coming toward the building, and they started shouting out her name. She went in at the other end of the building, so they started chanting her name, like a football play: "13! 29! 54! 37!" and then when she stepped out of the classroom door, they went NUTS!!!
They rushed her, all 20 or so of them, and she was so surprised, they almost knocked her over! Wow, that was a group hug like no other! Rock stars got nothin' on Mrs. T!!!
So told them she was so happy to see them, and so happy to have such a lovely greeting. She was looking forward to spending the day with them, but they needed to all get back in their line and get ready to enter the building
quietly.
Like a dork, I had tears in my eyes, how embarrassing. DS7 misses her so much, and so do I. She is just the sweetest person, and a great, caring teacher.
So DS3 and I are off to the book store to spend his gift card, and also pick up another book DS7 ordered.
DS3 is also begging to to Black Bustard. You know, the place where you can rent Scooby Doo DVDs? Took me a minute...
