Zipper, snap, pop

I have to laugh at myself sometimes. I do some silly things. Here are some examples:
1. I walked into Taco Bell the other day made an order and then sat back to wait for them to call my name. I ordered take out inside the Taco Bell because there was a long line outside. So I waited and waited. I grabbed all my hot sauces ahead of time and waited. Finally order was up. I went up to the counter excitedly not realizing that I had dropped some hot sauces onto the floor. I took a step backwards and, "snap!", "pop!" , I stepped right onto the hot sauce packets. They squirted everywhere! The sauce went all over the floor, my shoes, and up my pants!! Needless to say I drove home smelling like a taco and feeling slimy! : -)

2.Today in class we are taking huge state wide tests. My students are a bit stressed out and I think that I am too. Here's how I know I am stressed. I walked around all morning with my zipper down. When I finally realized my mistake I zipped it up and came into my class and said, "okay, why didn't anybody tell me my zipper was down?" My students looked at me in surprise. Most said that they hadn't noticed, but I could tell the students who had because they turned red. We all laughed and it helped relieve some of the test anxiety.

I tell you what, it is definitely NOT boring being a teacher. It is the biggest blessing!!
