Tomorrow, Year 5 will officially come to a close! I posted 122 times on the year 5 blog. That surpasses my year 3 blog. Yeah! I'm sure I said a lot about nothing...umm, tampon talk comes to mind. It's hard to believe that five years has passed. Year 5 was definitely stressful and exhausting. I know that there will be challenges in year 6 (and fun times too). I'm definitely going to have a better attitude about handling the year 6 stresses. I'm looking forward to enjoying the happy times when they come...and they certainly will come.
The new blog is www.sixth-year.blogspot.com (There's nothing there yet. Maybe in the next few weeks I'll post something.)
Enjoy your time off! You deserve it!
Time for me to take a walk, literally.

Tampon Talk
Today I had to talk to several girls about taking a tampon from the nurse's office and hiding it in another girl's bag. The owner of the bag was embarrassed. I told her tampons are not embarrassing, they are a vital part of a female's life. (I felt kind of creepy saying this.) Tampon pride!!! Several boys saw the tampon and starting teasing the girl. I had to talk to the boys about respecting girls and their privacy. I believe this is the first time I've had to talk to kids about tampons. In fact, I think I said "tampon" more times today than I have in my whole life. Hopefully, I'll go another five years or longer without having to say "tampon" again. I know you are so jealous of my exciting and glamorous work.

The Home Stretch
FIVE DAYS LEFT! I will be a VERY happy camper on Friday at exactly 2:30 P.M. I cannot wait until this year ends. This time last year, I was practically ready for the new school year. I have done very little to prepare for next year. I think the only thing I've done has been make the meetings schedule. I just don't feel motivated to work on next year's stuff. Eventually I'll get it done. Maybe.

Kids Can Be Cute...Sometimes
Today was the instrumental/chorus concert at school. The kids did a great job. I was a bit disappointed more of the chorus didn't show up. The kids who did show up did a fantastic job. Glenda S. and I were sitting at the back of the MPR enjoying the show. One of our nicer parents and his little son were sitting in front of us. The little one was hanging on his dad and at one point lovingly bit his dad's ear. It was the cutest thing! After the show, the dad and I chatted for a bit and he introduced me to his son, telling me I was going to get him in a couple years. I asked the little one his name and he told me he was two. So cute. When our little talk was over, his dad told him to give me "knuckles." The little one gave me a fist bump! It was the cutest thing ever! I'll take a fist bump from a little kid over a "f*ck you" any day!!!
