Happy Friday! {Teacher Humor}

Happy Friday folks! I saw this as I was aimlessly traveling through WebWorld tonight and just laughed out loud:

Is that not So Stinkin' True?!

I can vividly remember this happening a handful of years ago: 

My husband and I had just moved to a new town and we went over to a new friend's house to hang out with a few couples we had just met. My first mistake was agreeing to go somewhere in public on a Friday night. My second was finding a comfortable place to relax. At the super late hour of 8:30, I curled up on their son's little Spiderman foldout chair thingy and promptly fell asleep. Mind you, these were relatively new friends. We were definitely not in the 'fall asleep on the Spiderman couch' phase yet. 

That story has been retold a few different times when we get together with those friends. In fact, my inability to stay awake on a Friday night has become a bit of an inside joke. 

But for the record, I'd like to state that now that I've become a stay-at-home mom, I can stay up past 8:30 on a Friday night....all the way to 9 (it's 8:57 as I write this post). ;)  

And now, my bloggy friends....good night.

Rabbit Rabbit!

HeeHee- This is a little shout out to my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Howard. She was a fun teacher that always slipped some silly little game or 'fact' into the school day. Mrs. H used to tell us that if the first words we say on the first day of the month were 'Rabbit Rabbit' we would have good luck that month.

As hard as I tried (and you know this stubborn determined child tried), my little 9 year old brain could never remember to say 'Rabbit Rabbit' on the first day of the month that year. In fact, I haven't remembered any month since then either! So I thought I'd try to 'cheat the system' a bit and scheduled this post to go out at 12:01 am on October 1.

So Mrs. Howard, this one's for you...

RABBIT RABBIT!

Teacher Humor: Room Mom Edition

Teacher Humor

- the best kind.

QUICK UPDATE: Before we get to the post, I'd like to ask you to do a quick favor for me. I recently decided to take the plunge and put this blog on Facebook and Twitter...which is completely nerve racking for a social media novice like myself (my Facebook-addicted husband was so proud though, you guys!). If you could take just a moment and like my page or follow my twitter account, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

  

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Every once in a while I stumble across a funny little joke or story that only teachers would get. I like to think that's because it takes higher-level thinking skills to understand 'teacher humor,' ....but I'm betting it's just more of a 'we're-in-the-trenches-everyday-so-we-totally-get-that' kind of thing :) 

Anyway, here's a funny little blog post I found by Jen Hatmaker. She wrote about the end of the school year from a room mom's perspective and I just laughed the entire time I read it!

Some of my favorite quotes:

"I’m so tiiiiiiiiired and I have five kids and that is just too many to educate well. I can only handle around two, so I’m going with Sydney and Caleb because they both like to read and the other three are just going to have to enroll in Life Skills Class one day and develop a trade."

"'Mom, I should've picked a black character. Like Abraham Lincoln.' ....Bless it."

"So, Mom out there sending Lunchables with your kid, making her wear shoes with holes because we’re.almost.there, practicing “auditory reading” with your 1st grader, I got your back, sister. We were awesome back in October; don’t you forget that. We used to care, and that counts for something."

Need a little pick me up this week? Check out the rest of Jen's post. It'll be sure to have you smilin' your way into summer!
