One of the hazards (or blessings?!) of moving back to the middle school is that I’ve already had most of my students for three or four years. Such is the life of a special ed teacher. We don’t get a whole new crop every year like regular ed teachers. It’s the same students until they leave the building you’re in. In any case, we all know each other pretty well.
The other day I asked one of my boys to run up to a study hall to give a message to a co-worker. When I see her later she tells me he found her and said, “That lady downstairs wants to talk to you.” She asked which lady and he responded, “You know, the one with the red hair.” Seriously little dude? I’ve only been your teacher for three years now. Three. Years. I’ve really made a helluva impact on his world. Although to be fair, this is the same guy who asked me last week if we were going to my room at the elementary to take a science test.
I picked up this top last year on clearance at JC Penney. I really liked that it’s floral, but more of a fall floral than a summer one. The sad thing is, after only a couple of wears a spot on the neckline frayed. I almost gave it the boot, but I figured I could wear a cardi or blazer over it. Problem solved and top saved from banishment. I went with the blue ballet flats because they picked up the blue in the print. And the khakis? Well, they were just comfortable.
