What a long week it has been....

Learned a lot I have...wish it made my week better...but it was definitely better than Nicole's...

Nicole taught me 7 very important things this week...

1. Do not leave mushrooms found in nature in your classroom overnight hence they will have small disgusting creatures crawling on them come Monday morning.

2. an old cell phone without a sim card given to a preschool class to play with can still dial 911 and the police can find...the school...your class...the child...and you...now had this been an actual emergency...who knows?

3. it is better to to just put the small child with the very annoying father out of your class in to someone else's at the first sign of trouble...because it only gets worse as the year goes on....

4. picking up a glass table top all by yourself with one hand to dust under it with the other hand is probably not the best of ideas and it would have been a better idea just to avoid cleaning all together...

5. the driver's ed video where the guy in the lane to your left starts to move in your peripheral vision and you do too just to discover it was a left turn arrow and the car in front of you was still at a stop is quite accurate and you do feel quite silly.

6. steaks do not need to be turned over at least once while cooking to have a nice even charcoal flavor, you can just get drunk with your friend and leave them to your own devices and they do quite well...

and 7....as much as you want to you can't drink all the beer from the beer fridge that blows up in the basement, and after all this you really don't feel like explaining to you mother what skunk means you just want to use her fridge for a few days!

so with all the things that were on my mind this week, with home and work, and everything else, it's good to have a friend like Nicole who will have an even worse week..just to make me feel better! Thanks girlfriend!
