I love my job! (boring post ahead)

Really, I do, but it has been a really rough start to the year. We are all at 24-25 kids each--add to that the fact that they are 5 year olds and most have never been in any sort of school setting and 7 of them don't speak English and you have my first 2 weeks of school. Things are getting better now but I was so discouraged at the end of the first week.
The first day was the worst I've had in my 9 years of teaching. There were crying kids, 2 "bathroom accidents" before 8:30 a.m., kids going through the lunch line and getting only milk and silverware, and 20 minutes to get everyone in a line to go anywhere. Can you say "crowd control"? Add to that the 3 kids I lost on the way to the bus, along with the 5 gallons of sweat that was dripping off me by the end of the day and it was good times!
Things are looking up now. We had a fire drill and everyone made it out to the field. It now takes us only 10 minutes to get anywhere instead of 15. And I don't come home absolutely exhausted anymore. Now, if only the weather would relent and I could come home without feeling like I just finished a marathon!
