Mental Moments

Have you (before this year) or anyone you know said, "Gee, it must be great to be a teacher and only work 9 months a year?" Well, how do you feel about those kinds of comments now? What they don't know:
1) You work 60 hours a week while almost everyone else works 40, so summer kind of evens it out.
2) I have talked to more parents about their children than Dr. Phil!
3) I have tip-toed around a variety of fellow staff members like I was running for president.
4) In this job, the more you do--the more they ask you to do.
5) I don't wear a watch anymore--I have bells to tell me where I need to be.
6) Students have better cell phones than I do (and they don't have a job)!
7) I've learned NOT to forget my lunch money as schools don't have ATM's.
8) I don't care what scientists say, there is something about full moons and student behavior!
9) I never get a good night's rest because I KNOW there is something I forgot to do for tomorrow's lesson.
10) Spring is the longest part of the year--could it possibly go any slower until spring break????

p.s. I wouldn't trade it for anything--I LOVE my job!
