NEW LOOK!

Yes, you're in the right place!  I decided it was time for a new look on the blog.

School year is almost over...the kids have been in rare form lately (Mercury in retrograde maybe?)...so I'm sure they will be full of hilarious tidbits to share!

Matchmaker, Matchmaker...I DON'T need Match(.com)

I cannot remember ever asking my teachers any really personal questions about their lives.  I guess I just never thought about it.  

My third graders apparently LIVE to ask me personal questions.  I'm starting to think that the highlight of their days are to see how much information they can learn about their music teacher...

Dr. Love: Ms. S, do you have a son?

Me: Umm...no.  Who keeps spreading these child rumors around?

National Enquirer: YEA, and besides, she's single. Wait, are you married yet?
Me: No, I'm not married. 

Dr. Love: Have you ever heard of Match.com?

Me: (::internal forehead smack::) Yes.

Dr. Love: You should go on there. My Aunt met this really great guy.

Me: I don't need Match.

Dr. Love: But you need to find love!

Me: What makes you think I haven't found it?

N.E.: Are you ever going to get married?

Me: Yes, one day, I will get married...eventually.

Dr. Love:  Well who is your love?

While I was slightly mortified that my students think I'm some lonely music teacher with no life and no "love"...it is comforting to know that they think enough of me to feel that I shouldn't be alone.

More adventures in math tutoring...

Today was a milestone moment for me...

Me (after confiscating my 2nd Rubix cube of the day): WHAT is with the Rubix cubes!!!!

Wise beyond her years: I don't know, but they are annoying.

Broken Foot: It's all because that one kid solved it, and now they all are doing it.

Me: You realize that he watched a YouTube video right? He didn't solve anything. He cheated. When I was a kid, we had to actually figure out how to do it...

Man of few words: Oh, back in B.I. right Ms. Sobers?

Me: B.I???

Man of few words: You know, B.I. Before Internet.

It happened. My "back in my day" moment has finally come.

How to get sent home from school...

Last night I took an Advil Cold and Sinus for allergy pain last night before bed. Pain was gone (yay Advil)...but so was my will to sleep (Ugh...sudafed).  

I maybe fell asleep around 3 something...which would be great if it was still the weekend. But it's Monday.

So...I was operating on almost no sleep...which in turn just made me feel icky and grumpy...even with coffee.  Of course, my students picked up on it right away.  

Concerned student: Ms. S, why are you in a bad mood?

Me: I'm not...I'm just tired and I don't feel well.

Concerned student: Why didn't you just stay home?

Me: It's more work to stay home. Then I have to write something for a sub. It was easier to just show up.

Concerned student: 😞 Oh yeah.

Problem solver extraordinaire: Just tell them you puked. Then they have to let you go home 😁.

Clearly they know all the secrets lol...
