Being a teacher of 7th grade is insanity.<\/p>\n
Duly noted.<\/p>\n
Adding on top of it the accepting of the church calling Bear Den Scout Leader and having to deal with 8 rambunctious and excitable little nine year old boys DOESN’T HELP ANYTHING.<\/p>\n
Especially when they start singing songs from “Enchanted” at the top of their lungs… mostly on key. Yeah. Really.<\/p>\n
Last night I told the bishop of our ward that it wasn’t like I was busy enough spending over 40 hours of my week with a bunch of 11-13 year old kids. Why not add a couple hours of nine year old boys in there too? I definitely wasn’t making productive use out of my free time, so I got a second calling on top of that too.<\/p>\n
So now, I am officially The Bear Den Assistant Scout Leader AND Assistant Something of the Committee Formally Known as Enrichment.<\/p>\n
I’m mostly joking about not liking all that. Mostly. Most of the time it doesn’t bother me at all.<\/p>\n
Most of the time.<\/p>\n
But I can’t help but wonder if maybe that is why I am home sick yet again for the 100th time this year.<\/p>\n
Aren’t you supposed to get some sort of blessing or intrinsic reward from all these niceties and service?<\/p>\n
I’ll be more cheerful tomorrow. Promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
