Wow, I feel like a stranger to my own blog.  Oh blog, it's been too long.

I have decided to write about my 7th graders.  I teach English in a Middle School.(only God knows what I was thinking when I thought that was a good idea...because now I cannot remember why I did it for the life of me)

This year I have had the displeasure of having all 7th graders ALL THE TIME.  This was a first for me.

They drive me me crazy beyond words, but, as one of my students said today, "You know you secretly love us Miss. K!"  As much as I hate to admit it, it's true.

7th graders have got to be the most irrational, ridiculous, selfish, naive yet have gone through so much, insane, impossible little know-it-alls I've ever met....but they sure are hilarious.

So from now on I have decided to blog about their craziness.  Here goes.

____________________________

Preface: I have a bird living in my air conditioning vent. It won't stop chirp chirping. chirp chirp chirp. chirp chirpy chirp.

One of my students decided to whistle back at it and when I asked him what he was doing he said "I'm mating with the bird!"

Needless to say, I think he meant "I'm doing a mating call to the bird." ...eh, still doesn't make any sense.

Post-face:  The same kid busted out singing Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" in the middle of class today.

P.S. I don't think "Post-face" is a real thing, but it matches preface, and who cares?  This is MY BLOG...I can make up all the words I want.  Blombre...just made that up now.  Boom.  You've been brand new word blogged...brew wogged.

Such a good third day.  Especially after Violet pointed to my chest in the bike shoppe and loudly proclaimed "BOOB!!!" 

I've never been so proud. 

Oh, Ayo Vio, you're such a big girl now.

"Ny, were going to LA for the day, wanna come?" 

So much good in one day.  

Car games, Whistler's Mother, laughing so hard we cried...

You know it's an exceptionally good day when we make Mommy laugh so hard she had tears rolling down her cheeks while driving. 

Then, we did what we do best...
