I'm not a classroom teacher on a Monday after Halloween!!! Yippee!!

Usually these posts are all about the gentle state of quiet wonder I've enticed my children into with good quality books and a cozy home setting. Not today! Today I am so so so grateful that my day didn't begin with peeling weeping students out of their bus seat because their parents let them stay up till midnight eating all their candy and now they just can't cope. I'm so so so grateful that I'm not coping with the sugar crash after lunch for students whose parents packed an entire lunchbox full of candy and no real food (yes, true story).

I miss many things about being in a school building with wonderful colleagues. But the before-break classroom parties and the after-break meltdowns are not among them!
