Broken and Spilled Out (This Ain't Spiritual)

Last night I bought a new table for my classroom.... I was so excited to get to school this morning and set it up before the kiddos came in... I put it in this one place but I didn't like where I put it so I started rearrange my room...

Now you teachers now how this is.... once you get started on something in the morning the last thing you want to do is stop in the middle of it and go get the kids... You start to dream of the next work day when you can actually get something done...but I digress.

As I started to rearrange I quickly pulled this metal wire rack shelf away from the wall so I could be the new table in its place... It just fit better there.... As I pulled I got frustrated because it was stuck on something... What you asked??? It was the cord to my beautiful blue lamp that I bought to give my room ambiance from Big Lots. I pulled so hard though that the beautiful blue lamp ended up hitting the floor and shattering into a zillion pieces... I was SOOOO mad at myself....

Then, as if that wasn't enough, as I moved the shelf further to get the pieces of broken lamp out of the floor, a 26 drawer sewing case that Iuse to store alphabet cards in fell over and all of the letters spilled out in the floor.... There are about 30 of each letter in each drawer! Can you say AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA???

Needless to say, I didn't get the room rearranged before the kiddos came... I got them to help clean up though and they loved it... Thank God for those kiddos or else I may still be at school cleaning up all those letters!!!

What sweet kids! Sorry your morning started so stinky. I HATE stressful mornings before my 2nd graders get there. It gets me in a bad mood the rest of the day. :(
