Something I have noticed throughout the year is that on those days when I am tired, my speech . . . well it gets a little bit sloppy. My mind is thinking faster than my lips and my lips just can't keep up and get all confused. For example, last week I was thinking "If you have any garbage from your breakfast please throw it away," but my lips said "If you have any breakfast from your garbage . . ." oops! Sometimes words get switched around and then sometimes they just get combined. Like yesterday, I was trying to say "Make sure your planners are filled out," but I said, "Make sure your flanners . . ." and the room erupted in laughter. Sometimes I mess up when I'm trying to write, think, and talk all at the same time up at the board. We were doing a story problem one day about a pet shop and how many types of different pets were in the shop. Well, I was explaining, thinking, and writing. I was supposed to be writing the number of hamsters, but instead wrote hamstrings . . . wow. That was before Christmas, but one of my students just won't let me forget. Haha. Those tired days just leave me tongue tied.
