It's amazing to me how some days I can't remember what I ate for breakfast, yet some how I can remember every single move and when it comes in the song as soon as I hear the Macarena. I thought it was strange, until I saw every other teacher and adult in the building doing it with me. Frightening. Let me back up...(notice how I have to do this in almost every post? I apparently missed the memo about how to start a story appropriately.... good thing I teach writing........) today was the 3rd-5th grade jamboree at school. Let me say this- there was very little "jam" happening, and a whole lot of boree. For those of you who don't know, "boreeing" is a cross between running amuck and jumping straight up and down. All of this with 200 children. After school hours. So yes, there was quite a lot of "boree". Sadly, the high-tech sound system and lack of good tunage left the jamming more to the imagination. Other than the Macarena, we boogied on down to the Cha-Cha Slide and the Cupid Shuffle (which I will admit I thought was the "Cuban" shuffle until I just looked it up online. HA!) So yes, the CUPID shuffle. If you don't know what it is, or you don't know HOW to do it, I just found an instructional video. Seriously. I'm NOT lying. Sigh.... go look. See? I told you. Youtube... what will they think of next!?
Anywho, other than that, I didn't work out today, and I'm pretty sure I ate my body weight in chicken parm. Yum. 12 people wore their BL shirts to school today- yes, I went..... AND one of my kids told another teacher that "Ms. Pantano looks different". Hey, if a 10 year old notices, then maybe SOMETHING really is happening.... even if the scale continues to betray me............
19 days down...161 days to go!
