instead of riding

I had planned to ride this morning but instead I spent the day in first grade. First grade teachers work very hard. Let's face it, all teachers work hard but first grade teachers at the beginning of the school year work extremely hard and when you get called to sub in first grade at the beginning of the school year...well, I think I that's the hardest of all. But I got through the day. One kid got sick in the bathroom and another kid pinched her hand between two tables and we had some tears. Oh yeah, I forgot about the kid that picked a scab during calendar and got blood on the new carpet. I wore my new necklace and smiled a lot.

mileage

I wore my pedometer to school yesterday. I didn't look goofy because I used the small thin one that I carry in my pocket instead of the one that hooks onto my belt. I was in first grade and at the end of the day my total mileage was 4.71 miles. Today I did the same thing except I was in a third grade classroom. My total mileage today was 4.63 miles. Tomorrow I will be in the same third grade classroom and it will be interesting if I end up with the same number of miles.
