Holy Cow

Week one is just about done. Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!! I have close to 160 students, so I have been exhausted all week. It is amazing how fresh the kids are, yet, I am run down already. LOL

So far the kids seem to be very well behaved, but it is only the first week. Since this is my first full year at this school, I get to lay the ground work for the kids. Last year, I had to run with what rules were already set. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good year, but I would like to see certain things done my way!!!!

They have asked me to coach this year as well. I am going to be coaching soccer. I predict the year to be 0-18, since the only background I have in soccer is when I coached my daughter’s team when she was 3. I taught them how to dribble, pass, shoot, and which direction to go. Other then that, I was a football-basketball guy, so I am nervous about how this season will go.

Oh, did I mention that they have me out in the rotunda before school and after. I get to be the strong arm of the law. LOL They want to make sure that there are no fights, trouble, and that the kids follow the rules. It is funny because my fellow teachers were making fun of me because I have not smiled yet and that I am the Heavy. When that tardy bell rings, BOOM, I bellow out orders to the kids.

Anyway, the first week has been good. Oh, did I mention that the air conditioning has not been running. Now, that has been a royal pain in the ***. Sadly, I have been sweating my backside off. Which from what I am told, there isn’t much left to sweat off. LOL

So, for all of you that haven’t sent your kids back as of yet, the day is coming. LOL As much as I am grateful that my kids are back in school, I am sure their teachers are like yikes. So, remember us poor teachers when you have your back to school parties. LOL Go Pirates!!!!!!
