PE

If you knew me in high school then you already know that I am the most uncoordinated person on the place of the earth and I HATE running with the passion. At 2:30 this morning I couldn't sleep and still didn't have a job for today (which is probably why I couldn't sleep) so I checked online and found an open job at a middle school in Glendora. I noticed that it was a half day sub job as a PE teacher. I figured half day is better than no day and even though it was PE I desperately need the money, so I snagged the job and fell back into a peaceful slumber.

The day really wasn't bad at all. I have never subbed PE in my life so I had no idea what to expect. After years of being away from a locker room, I was quickly reminded of how it smelled of gross feet and sweat. It really isn't the best feeling in the world but the kids were nice so it was ok. I guess the 7th graders have been having pantsing each other so the principal had a big meeting with each period about sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior. It was actually pretty funny to watch. As soon as the principal mentioned pantsing, all of the students eyes popped out of their head and a nervous laughter filled the gym. It brought me back to times when some of my friends and I nervously laughed our way through Jr. High. Poor kiddos are just so awkward.

Anyway, during my last period of the day I was taking scores of people running and all of the sudden I felt a warm drop land on my arm. A BIRD POOPED ON MY ARM! I was freaking out on the inside and I'm pretty sure my eyes popped out of my head but I remained calm. Matt's grandma's house is right down the street and if I hadn't been responsible for 43 kids, I probably would have ran to my car and driven to her house to shower. I was so grossed out. The worst part is the school has three levels. I was on the second field level where there was no water or soap so I had to wipe my arm on a fence to get it off. You can bet your bottom dollar that I was the first person to get in the locker room and apply generous amounts of soap and water to my arm. As soon as I was able to leave I jumped in my car and sped home. I swear I must have washed my arm like 30 times today fearing I would forever have bird poop germs on me.

Tomorrow I am subbing for Letty's kindergarten class. I have already subbed in there several times, and tomorrow is fun Friday which is always a hoot. I wish that Fontana was closer to Chino Hills though because I was supposed to watch baby Caya after work for a little while but I won't be able to make it in time to head over there. I watched her on Monday and yesterday though. That newborn is the most beautiful thing on the planet. She fell asleep in my arms yesterday and I just about melted.
