One of the real reasons I love to teach kindergarten is that it keeps me feeling young. Those little guys are so full on life! One of the many methods I use to defuse some of this unbound energy is kiddy exercise. I have some great cds in my collection and we all enjoy the breaks in the day.
Well, today was no different. The babies had been sitting listening to me for a very long time and we had such a nice discussion about our story and made tons of text to self connections. There was only 10 minutes left until lunch so I put on one of our favorite exercise cds. I always do the exercise with them. As it turns out, literally speaking, I turned and ,whoops, twisted my ankle in the process. Ouch and many other words came to mind as a gimped away from them so they could not see the intense pain that came over my face. I asked my grandparent volunteer to finish the song out as I tried to regain my composure.
It still hurts. It's not broken-I have done that before in my life and I could not put any pressure on it whatsoever, I can now. It just stings and is a bit swollen. I guess I need to temporarily stay away from kiddy aerobics. I feel that a part of me had to grow up today. World, I am not ready and I promise you, I will digress!!!!

I friend of mine once told me that the only difference between a kindergarten teacher and a bartender is the age of the kindergarteners. Something to think about if you ever need a career change. Hope the ankle feels better soon.
