I'm sitting at my desk and having to take a step back and reflect for a bit. The stress of the day has gotten me down. I'm not sure if it's the kids or all the paper I deal with. It's probably an insidious combination of both.
Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. I used to like April Fool's Day. But, there is only so many times you can hear kids say "Do you know what today is, Mr. Stortz? It's Tuesday- April fools!" Or "Guess what I had for breakfast Mr. Stortz? Waffles- April fools!" Or the ubiquitously popular "Your shoe is untied Mr. Stortz. April fools!" You see, six and seven year olds don't exactly "get" (air quotes mine) April Fool's Day. Of course this never stops them from trying.
It should be more like "I'm going to play well with others today, Mr. Stortz. April fools!" Or "I'm going to complete all my tasks in a timely manner today Mr. Stortz. April fools!"
I think I'm going to hide behind my locked classroom door tomorrow morning. I'll put a sign up that reads: Class canceled on account of irony." The sad thing is, I will be the only one to "get" it (air quotes still mine).

Very funny! At least you still have a sense of humor. I'm not going to get too worried about you until you stop making jokes about your misery. When that happens, I'll be really concerned. I love you;)
