When one of your students from last year is in ISS and you are covering for a period and she asks you how to say in an “all about me” that she wants to be a stripper when she grows up and you just tell her to put “dancer” to keep it PG. 🤷‍♀️ #middleschool

@reeveskirtner Guess who is keeping me awake right now with his nighttime sounds he apparently doesn’t make.

I will always say it now but after age 40, car tweezers are just a good idea. #IYKYK

I was home yesterday (tummy issues) and today back at school, one of my students asked me why I was gone. I annoyingly replied with “am I not allowed to be sick?” To which he said “well yeah, but I just thought you gave up on us and left.” Fair. Very fair.

My priorities are strange. Case in point: today Addison changed up her #tacobell order and I was so proud. 🤷‍♀️

You know that you teach middle school in 2022 when you have to split up your team’s classes (b/c #nosubs) and you have to be conscious of all the breakups that have happened between the kids in the classes. #potentiallandmines

@britthively I got out quickly though.

A successful planning period is when you get to go to the bathroom, make your copies, and get your lesson ready for the next day. An unsuccessful planning period is when you get stuck in the elevator en route to do those things. 🤦‍♀️#teacherlife

When you skip your usual bathroom break towards the end of the day and by the time you get home from school and don’t think you can make it to the bathroom in time. #teacherlife #oldbladder

Some of my students did manual labor for me for candy today and I’m not ashamed. #donthatetheplayer

[Bethany Kirtner @bethanykirtner]

@britthively We may have. I complained to Reeves about it too and he thought I had lost my mind. I’m not sure what happened.

Today: Played a celebrity trivia game and my students knew Betty White! 2 of my most rotten kids have ISS for 5 days (ahhh, a break), I tracked down two girls who were skipping a sub’s class (solidarity!) and watched 2 of my boys win the county championship! #GoEagles!
