You know, sometimes you just have to get things out of your system.  Before anyone reads any further, they should be aware that that is what I am doing.  Getting stuff out of my system.  I love children, really, down deep I do, but I don't always LIKE them.  Today is one of those days.  I work in a place where there are a lot of children,  A pre-school. Some are huuman, and some I know came from another planet.  They are like little molecules that are heated in the test tube.... the higher the temperature, the more active they become.  Today was a 105 F kind of day, even though the thermometer outside reads 68 degrees I bet every one in my  class today was force fed about half a lb of sugar prior to being brought to school.  They are bouncing off the walls, hanging from the chandeliers, and generally running amok in my 140 sq ft classroom. (OK, today I am embellishing and exagurating a minute bit)  I have one child, my little Asian , the only one who has not been yelling and screaching or crying or wailing and gnashing his miniture teeth... then again, this child has said only four words the entire time since August.....  I love this child. No, quiet but firm  leadership has reaped no results other than a higher degree of "amokness".  Trying to placate a "princling", soothe the imagined boo-boo of lamenting drama queens,  moderating ongoing territorial Lego wars, and redirecting kittens with ADHD has been a loosing battle today.  Just call me Custer and blow my Little Big Horn......
If I were a Catholic, I would be looking up the number of a good exorcist..... sigh
