I hit 10K words this morning! Woot-woot!

I’m one of the slowest writers known to man and I had to force myself to just write. Now, there is no chance in the world I will ever win NaNo, but it forced me just to put some words on paper. :)

So…yay me!

Since I won’t be getting a pretty NaNo Winner box, I’m giving myself a gold medal clipart. : -P 

gold-medal

 Oh, and time for another Golden Apple:

Golden-Apple2

Student: I think I’m going to be moving to Kentucky.

Other Student: You better keep your butt tight.

Me: Gah!  I know you don’t know what that means, but don’t say that!

Me once students couldn’t see me: Bwhahahahahahaha!

Third grade…it’s a barrel full of laughs. ;)

He called me a stupid, smelly, donkey butt!

Gosh, they’ve gotten creative. ;)

Student:  It looks like you have a mustache.  You’ve got dark stuff right there.

Me: Those are called freckles, honey.  But for future reference, never tell a woman that she has a mustache.

That’s a load off.

Secondly, I’m introducing a new feature: the Golden Apple. Basically, little antecdotes that happen during the day that remind me why I love being a teacher.  There are very few professions where you belly laugh frequently!

So, for my first Golden Apple, I give you:

Golden Apple2 “Mrs. Plavich! He stuck his finger in his butt and is trying to make me smell it!”

I love my job. :-)
