I Could Have Used Some More Pounds Today
Today was the last day of school. I have a two week Christmas break. I was getting my room ready for the next year. I was changing the calendar in my room to January - you know the kind where the name of the month and the dates are stapled on. The calendar is on the wall right above this long blue shelf (about 9 feet) packed full of math manipulatives and other school stuff. And wouldn't you know it, I accidentally dropped the 19th behind the shelf. In the past, I had always been able to drag the shelf away from the wall enough to get anything that had fallen. Today, I was pulling and pulling. It wouldn't budge. The teacher next to me was watching. She came over and moved it for me. She said I had gotten too tiny to move the shelf. Sometimes that extra weight could be helpful.
