i believe that children are our future

today was my first day of substitute teaching!! ahhh!! but, God totally worked it out - i got to the classroom and low and behold the student teacher was there and stayed until lunch! so i got to feel out the class and watch someone in action for like, 2 hours. amazing.

so i tried to be mean, but i was totally outdone by the other teachers. they really know how to snap at kids. i sort of thought it was over the top... but whatev, they are probably tired or something.

my part of the day: a student (boy) said to me "i love gymnastics. i can do all my splits." he was my FAV. i signed his cast.

so after my first day of work and making money (a very minimal amount) i drove home thinking "now i can really connect with songs like 'it's 5 o'clock somewhere' and 'take this job and shove it' and, of course, 'get drunk and be somebody" and it's not about the alcohol, it's abot the new state of mind i now have: the working man's state of mind....
