School, tornado drills, and kids

Chris has already almost been in school for a month. I, on the other hand, just finished Day 3. Here is a rundown on my life lately. My kids can come in as early as 7:15 (much earlier than my internship's 8:40). School officially starts at 7:45, I think. I usually welcome them until about 7:50, then discuss their morning work for a few minutes before taking them to their special (Science Lab, Gym, Music, Comp, or Art) by 8 am. This week we have to stay in special for about 20 to get them accustomed and used to it. This gives me about 20 minutes to do my own thing. When, really...my own thing is going to the office to turn in attendance, my receipt book, and all of the forms that are required. By the time I'm done with that and being stopped by the random parent, it is time to get my kids again. I have them until lunch, where I supervise them and eat lunch with them...this being followed by recess, where I have to come up with an activity that they will do, making sure to watch them and that they're safe. If that's not a chore, I don't know what is. Then, we go inside and finish the rest of the day. My biggest problem? Peeing. I like to drink water a lot, which makes me have to use the restroom...a lot. I am literally not able to use the bathroom except for when they are at their special..or if I ask another teacher to watch my class. Oh, except for the days that I have meetings during this time...about two times/week.
Now for today: I got to school around 6:45 or so and get on with my business. I get my kids in there and am getting ready to take them to music, when I realize it's raining. The relevance of that is where music is...in a hut. Yes, outside. So I get my kids and we run through the rain hollering (because who wouldn't be, really?) and we make it, soaked...even those of us with umbrellas. Before I leave, we hear a siren. We were supposed to have a fire drill, but really? In this much rain? Since she doesn't have an intercom system, I wander around trying to figure out what's going on. I see everyone practicing a tornado drill. I go back to inform my class and the music teacher. They sit against the wall and I go a while later to see if it's over yet, but people were still in said position. I found someone and was trying to figure out what was going on, when she ignores me after I tell her where my kids are. So, apparently it was not a drill. There was a tornado. And apparently we were not supposed to stay in the hut, so we had to go back into the building. Wouldn't you think the 2nd yr music teacher would know this? But I guess they didn't have a tornado drill last year. I knew where to take my kids, but not if we were in specials. Needless to say, we are all safe and sound.
Oh, and as for my kids. Everyone told me horror stories of the kids. They are just kids. Just as much as the next one. Sure they might have problems, but really...who doesn't? :)
