Coffee with Kel

30 Days of Thanks: Day 9

I had every intention of having this post written last night and set to be updated to the blog when I woke up this morning. Well, that surely didn’t happen. By the time I was able to sit down and write a blog post, I was tired. And, I needed to go to bed on time because I had to get up early this morning. Early, as in 5:30am. Are chickens even up that early? (((yawn))) The reason I had to get up so early today is because I was substitute teaching all day. Around here, elementary school starts early and that means that when I work, I have to get there early. (PAUSE for a minute to give all sorts of props to the school staff who do this on a daily basis. You are seriously incredible!!)   So, since I was at school all day, I’m just now getting around to getting today’s entry done.

Today, I’m going to take the opportunity to be thankful for being a substitute teacher. Yea, sure,  I get up early on those mornings, but that’s what coffee is there for, right? There are some great perks about subbing for me. For instance:

I like being a cool sub. I don’t want to be the one they dread because I don’t want to be “mean.” (Although, I have started to learn how to bring out my inner “teacher voice” when I need to.) I also don’t want to be the one they think they can run all over just because I’m a sub. Instead, I want to be the one they like seeing and like hanging out with for a day or even a class period, depending on where I am that day. So far, so good. I’m enjoying it and I’m thankful for the opportunities that subbing has given me.
Have a great weekend, y’all…
Kelly
