ok so, today is Monday October 30th, tomorrow is Halloween...I cannot believe that time has gone so fast...so soon it will be Christmas and then I start worrying about summer and the heat...LOL...
this morning I did not want to get out of bed at all...but I thought at least one of our friends would be waiting and sure enought, Valerie and Mark were...once I am up and actually walking it is really ok...
Zoe was kind of clingy, think it is a Monday thing, as were several of the other little girls...
so, the door to her classroom opens and she has a substitute teacher and I was not real sure about how the kids would handle this news...she was a little older short lady, and right away, I knew she meant business...the minute she said for everyone to be quiet, and listen...there was complete silence and the boys, even the hyper ones stood at attention and several of the little girls started crying...Zoe really did not actually cry, but held my hand into the room...Cailey was pretty upset...Gaby's mom told her to just think of the new teacher as she would about her grandma and then Gaby was all right...
so, I go back about 11:20 and all of the classes are coming back from ELD and it was like total chaos...there were 3 substitute teachers out of the 5, and no one knew where to line up or anything...many of the kids were running all over the playground...I must say that our kids were all standing in line...BUT, AND THIS IS THE SAD PART....I think our kids were glad to see me as a familiar face, when I went out to help corral the kids and take off their name tags, I got so many hugs from our kids...I think this teacher was overwhelmed, but honestly did all right...bet the kids will be so glad to see Mrs. Luginbill back tomorrow...
there were no tickets today as Zoe said the teacher did not know how to do them...Zoe was a little mad as she said the teacher pronounced her name as Zo...now Samantha thinks she should have added a Y to the end of her name...
Zoe took a very long nap today, guess she was tired from the weekend and having a trying day at school...
after school, while Zoe was still at my house till mom got home, she was playing with our one remaining kitten, and this cat loves Zoe and follows her everywhere...but at one time while Zoe was watching tv, the kitten (Gambit) scratched Zoe's face and Zoe cried...so, I tried explaining that the cat is a baby and does not know how to use it's claws...so Zoe said, "Grandma, we need to talk to God and tell Him to have a talk with Gambit and tell him he needs to use his claws properly..." I thought that was kind of cute...
