The last day before Winter break was today. The classrooms are chaotic. Sugar induced - high children running around...some adorned with Rudolph's antlers, or Santa's hat, others having a Christmas Eve dress rehersal - yes, pajamas. Teachers pretend to smile...well, because we want the children to be excited and happy about the holidays...especially before we send them home to their parents for 2 weeks. We secretly hope they drive them crazy as they have done us 7 hours a day 5 days a week for 4 months straight! Sweet Revenge!

After school is over, we jump for joy - thats if we have any jump left in us, give a goodbye to our coworkers, and wonder WTF? as we open the gifts we get from students - then we pass out. We are tired. Im tired!
