Day in the Life

Today I had to wear red sparkly shoes that pinched my toes, hoping that the gimmick of "test shoes" would somehow magically cause all of my students to pass their reading skills test. The shoes did not work such magic, and now I think I might lose a toenail. Then this afternoon I watched a nine-year-old barf on her yoga mat. She tried to surreptitiously wipe it up with a kleenex and continue with her sun salutations until I stopped her.
