5 year olds are so exhausting!!!

Don't get me wrong I love my job but I had NO idea that children so small and cute could be so incredibly, horribly hard to deal with. As many of you know I replaced a teacher at Westbury Christian School and have been teaching for about 3 weeks now.
Anyway, apparently this teacher and myself had very different methods of teaching and disciplining and the kids have decided to go CRAZY on me the past couple of days. Here is a quick overview of my day today. The morning begins with 2 children in tears because one of the other kids said "poop" and it bothered them to hear that word. Next someone gets hit in the face and more tears begin. The crying literally goes on all morning ranging from stomach aches, to missing mommies to wanting to play with the math game and not the listening game! So this puts us to about potty time and that was about the worst 15 minutes of my life! We slipped on the the water from the flooding toilet, we peed in our underwear, we spit water on the floor, we did a little more hitting, and the climax of this morning bathroom visit was walking into the boys bathroom to find ALL of the boys in the class in the same stall doing who knows what!
As we are walking back from the bathroom (me very mad b/c my very cute leggings are now very sticky from having to CRAWL on the bathroom floor to get the boys attention) I am relieved to be going back to the classroom where the kids are going to be making a Christmas snowflakes. I taught them how all snowflakes are different and then I let each of them "help" me glitter their snowflake. WORST IDEA EVER!! All 13 of my little children were covered from head to toe in silver glitter and I still have glitter stuck to my arms and legs at this very moment. It is apparently just too tempting for a 5 year old to look at a plate of glitter and not feel the need to stick their face in it!
However, the day was not all bad, I did learn some very valuable things like........
1. If you put a straw sideways into a capri-sun and then try to squeeze it into a cup the juice comes out both sides and most likely will hit you in the face!
2. If a little kid says they feel like they are going to throw up.....LISTEN!
3. Four little boys in the bathroom at one time is a terrible idea!
4. If a kid says they need to blow there nose.....they may be expecting you to hold up the kleenex while they blow into your hand! BIGGEST SHOCK EVER!!
5. Never underestimate the power of a group of thirteen 4 & 5 year olds!
All in all this wasn't the best day of my new career! However, I am going to assume it is because of the weather or Christmas or something like that! My kids have never behaved like this so I hope it was just something in the air today! I am praying that my sweet little angels will come to school tomorrow and the little monsters that took over their bodies today will stay at home!! I also had to be SOOO mean all day and it was exhausting!! Wish me luck! :)
