Not literally of course, come on now.:) I'm a Messiah College falcon. I start classes on tuesday the 4th, and I think that pretty much means I'm no longer a nittany lion. I am ready for the change. The drive to campus is a whopping 3 minutes from the house (equates to about .75 miles) and that just makes me jump for joy because it used to take me 30 minutes start to finish at PSU. I'll tell you how it all goes.
So here's my funny (and slightly gross) story of the week. Wednesday was my last day of work, which was both sad and happy at the same time. Since all of the kids I taught over the summer moved up into Preschool 2 last week, we got the new batch of preschool 1 kids. This little girl Paige (very very adorable) has been having some issues with not making it to the potty on time and we all can fill in the lines as to what i mean here. Well about 5 minutes before I was about to leave on Weds. she says "Potty! Potty!" So I ran her to the bathroom and sat her on the potty. As I was standing there waiting for her to finish she pointed at the floor behind me and said, "Look at that." I looked down and to my horror was a pile of poop!!! I was so confused....whose poop was it?!? I ran out of the bathroom and told the other teachers that "someone pooped on the floor!" We all stood there really perplexed (and in silent laughter) until we finally figured out that it was Paige's poop! I guess it must have rolled out of her undies when I got her on the potty...and I didn't even notice it!!!!!! How funny and totally disturbing is that?! Oh man it was just plain flat hilarious, as you can imagine, and quite a way to end my last day of work. So, think of this story whenever you need a good laugh....I'm still laughing....2 days later!!!
And that, folks, is why I love 3-year-olds.

The Latest Buzz
Hello Hello! Back again. I took a little "vaca" (vacation) from blogging and have returned to give you the latest skinny on my life, etc.
Work at the Preschool has been it's typical concoction of crazy kids, time-outs, sidewalk chalk, and ocean fun. Our theme for the month of August was ocean, so I've been having a lot of fun thinking up fun things for the kids to do. Namely: coloring in a life-size shark, making a "shark tooth" necklace, singing "Baby Beluga," reading books about Pirates that live on ships in the ocean (notice the tie-in...) and then making Pirate hats, and various assundry other little crafts. It's been fun, I must say. Last week the teachers were informed they had 2 days to move all the things from their current classrooms into another room...which was...you guessed it, LOADS of fun. NOT. It put all of the Fall teachers in a tail-spin, and needless to say tempers were at an all-time rage. I tried my best to stay out of dodge (since, in case you forgot, I won't be teaching there in 2 weeks when I start school) but it was inevitable not to step into some of the ___ (insert inappropriate word....if you need a hint as to what I mean fill in this blank: the ___ hit the fan...) Anyway, it was a total zoo at the center, and thank goodness for the TV, VCR, and the "Kids Songs" movie because I'm pretty sure the kids were about to kill each other...
ANYWAY, other than that, things have been pretty steady around here. Last weekend Amber and I helped plan a huge YSA (Young Single Adult) conference in Gettysburg for church. I think we are still perplexed as to how we got involved, but that's neither here nor there, and it's over with anyway. It was a LOT of work. But from what I heard from other YSA's that attended it turned out really well....(me and Am wouldn't know....we were stuck planning and running errands most of the time....) But at least we can look back now and laugh....or cry....at the crazyness of it all.
Hopefully everyone out in cyber-land is doing well. Keep up with your blogs...I love reading them!
And that, my friends, is the latest buzz. Until next time...
