Teacher prep day is KILLING me

I've had my legs chopped off by a light saber, been stabbed in the back by a sword and had my rear end kicked in a spirited game of Monopoly.

I've played hostess to neighborhood kids, cooked two batches of Mac & Cheese, sliced the apples and parted with the last of the potato chips.

I've been a fine art connoisseur to many do-a-dot, marker and color pencil creations.  I've had a birthday celebration as "Bob" the Lego Knight King and then spent a night sleeping upright in my throne, next to my horse named Bob.

I accepted the star shaped, multicolored play doh cookies with a smile

and it's only 2:30.

Ok because I am reading your blog instead of cleaning.
