I also signed my contract for next year. I'll be making more than I thought. Woohoo! But I had to pay more money in the process. Boohoo. But I get benefits - woot!
My level of love for children is sometimes equal to my level of annoyance, shock, and frustration with their parents. One of my 2nd graders today asked us (us being me, and the 2 aides I have in my classroom) if we'd seen Freddy vs. Jason. I was surprised (somewhat) to know that she even knew what that was, and utterly appalled to find out that she'd seen it. SHE'S 8 YEARS OLD!!!! Oh well, ya can't save 'em all.
