'Nuff said. I think that MOST teachers loathe field day, which begs the question, why do we have it?<br /><br />I am, however, QUITE GRATEFUL for the weird powdery stuff that custodians use to clean up vomit. Having been privy to a few vomitous mishaps in my classroom or very near it, that stuff comes in handy. <br /><br />I do not eat cafeteria food.Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483570734127165995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-48391234524717545742011-05-31T09:11:17.992-05:002011-05-31T09:11:17.992-05:00If you want to start a petition or something I wil...If you want to start a petition or something I will be the first to sign.

I prayed really hard.<br /><br />The day before feld day (the last day of school) I found a few bumps on my back. <br /><br />I had chicken pox. According to the dr a horrible case of the chicken pox. And of course my sisters caught the chicken pox from me and by the time we had all recovered, that was most of the summer.<br /><br />I still prayed the next year that I would get sick so I could miss field day.Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095540983427609774noreply@blogger.com
