A Day in the Life of a Supply Teacher

Monday Morning...
6:00am: I feel sick, I really don’t want to get up (I so
have to remember to change that stupid alarm clock
tune too, no one needs to wake up to James Arthur
singing about being naked). Come on, big girl pants on,
honestly what’s the worst that can happen?
A strong coffee and a shower and I’ll feel better.
Ok forget the coffee, no milk. Everyone has suddenly
decided they fancy cereal when they always have toast,
and my youngest has put the milk back in the fridge
without the top on properly. 20 minutes and three
milk-soaked tea towels later... I’d better get in the
shower.
7.00am: Feeling good! My partner has taken the kids to
meet the school bus and I’m dressed to impress (I can’t
breathe in my skirt but, I’ve got it on). If I do say so
myself my new bag is simply perfect!
Arghhh just realised that two of them have forgotten
their lunch and one of them has taken mine AND
theirs!
No problem. Stay calm, I’ve got a fiver in my purse. I’ll
grab something in school (if they ring, they said they
would ring after 7am, I’m sure they will...)
