Pretty busy after school today (though, I have found a surprising few minutes to post), so I thought it would be in my best interest to fix my hair and wear a little make-up before going to school this morning, as I will be on my way (after physical therapy) to a gala for Big Shoulders later this evening.
Let's just say that was a mistake.
Considering I usually wear little or no make-up, the girls decided this was a big deal. These are a few comments I received.
Student A: "Miss F, you look nice today!"
Me (in my head): What do I look like every other day?
Student B: "Miss F, my aunt has one of those bracelets. She says they're really old."
Me (in my head yet again): Gee, thanks.
Student C: "Miss F, I like your purple eyeliner."
Me (in my head): Not sure what you're looking at, but it's black.
Student D: "Miss F, are you engaged?"
Me (in my head): Um, not sure how you jumped straight to that...
The boys were great - no comments, no side conversations, nothing different from normal. (Boys are easier.)
Let's just say I'll think twice before ever doing that again.
Ok, well, it's off to PT and then a quick turn-around at home before off to the gala. Let's get this weekend started!
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
