Teacher Talk Tuesday
Who needs a bonus when you work in a profession that showers you with sunshine 24/7?
Allow me to set the scene...
I am currently at home alone because my husband is "out of town on business". Now you might be thinking, hmmm, that's weird Sarah, aren't you both teachers? What kind of business is Mike away doing?" Oh, funny you should ask!
At 6:30am on Monday morning I rolled out of bed to drop Mike off at school so he could board the bus to none other than... overnight camp with 6th graders! Ooh yeah, you read that correctly dear readers. I spoke with him tonight and he is very ready to come home tomorrow. He even requested whiskey in which he told me he'd like to sip and then sleepjust like an old man. When I asked Mike if he is getting anything for going on this 3 day, 2 night excursion (I really wasn't expecting anything but thought I'd ask more out of curiosity) and he said, "well, I'll get to know the kids I'll be teaching next year."
Hold back your jealousy ladies. While some may make extravagant purchases with the year-end bonuses you earn, Mike and I will blissfully float into summer with the peace of mind of knowing... Mike was allowed the time to get to know his future students. I mean come on, does it get any better than that?
Bless Mike's heart, although I love my job, overnights have always been on my "absolutely not" list (right next to any fieldtrips involving me in a swimsuit). Not to worry my love, I'll have the whiskey ready. =)
8 days until LDOS!!
