the 7 men in my classroom

are starting to overwhelm me. these are the one-on-one support guys for 7 of my kids (7 out of 11. geez). one of them talks ALL the time. only one actually shows up at the beginning of the day. they take way long lunch breaks and then bring their smelly food into my classroom. they call me ms. matthews too which feels weird, and they ask me all kinds of questions like if i have kids (heck no), if what i'm wearing is new (no), if i got a haircut (yes), if i have "a man in my life" (i told them i have lots of men in my life, none that i'm dating ... i think it came out sort of wrong), if i like what i'm doing (yes) ... on and on.

and they're always there during the only breaks i have. and the kids are always cracking jokes about ms. matthews and so and so's tss worker.

AND the room is starting to get crowded for only 11 kids. we ran out of chairs today.

i hate when they're not there, but c'mon.
