I should of worn lip stick

This past week, I subbed in as a special needs aide. That bus picks up special needs middle school students first than preschoolers after that.

The middle school kids were fine. One boy, with Down's, did something to throw me off a bit though. To look at him, you wouldn't know he was Down's. In fact, he was down right good looking. Very nicly groomed and well manered. I had to sit behind him to observe another student and the young man turned in his seat and had his head reasting on his hands on the seat back. Than he let one of his hands fall and his fingers were brushing my leg. I moved my leg away from his hand. Than he looked at me, winked and put his hand on my knee. I picked up his hand and placed it back on his seat and said "please keep your hand up here".

I don't think there was anything sexual in his behaviour. I told the driver about it and she said that he is an affectionate boy. But it was just a bit werid, especailly when he winked at me.

But the funniest thing to me was the preschoolers. I had a healing cold sore on my lip, but they all seemed to focus on it. Each one of them (11 in all) had to be buckled into a car seat and when I bent down to do that, they all stared, poked or made comment about my sore. The next morning when I was on that bus again, one little girl took one look at me and said "I remember you! You have a sore on your lip!"

We Survived!

Yes, finally, spring break is over. I am not one of those moms who can't wait to get her kids out of the house, but rather, I like the return to a more scheduled and orderly lifestyle.

Plus, on top of all the sickos in our house, Megan came down with the chicken pox

Or rather, "chicken pops" to quote Eric.

I have 2 kids now that have NOT had them and they should be getting them soon. It may mean that Mollie will miss her field trip on the 10th.

Oh well. Life goes on
