The things that happen at school

So I have had an interesting few days at work where some of the craziest things have occurred. Now remind yourself I spend my days with really little kids so it makes sense it gets so crazy!
I got to school just before 9am, fifteen minutes after starting my shift I took my kids from the breakfast table towards my classroom. One child has decided another teacher looks like his mom and when he sees her disaster strikes. Well he started crying because we were leaving her, he put himself into such a fit that he barfed all over me and the floor. seriously i had been on shift for fifteen minutes. Not a fun way to start the day. Oh but it didnt end there.
Just over an hour later we were outside playing. When one child wouldnt share a toy with a boy who wanted it the boy decided the best way to get it was to bite and that he did. Seriously dont bite. this is the same kid who bit me when i tried to put him in timeout. UGH there is now a perfect bruised ring on the poor kids arm from where teeth set in.
Lunch happend and then its nap time, at this point a coworker normally takes over and i go on lunch, but there was a mishap and the bosses needed to see a few of the workers so i put kids down for nap. Since it was me and not the normal person EVERY child decided to act up. One girl is screaming bloody murder for her mom, who works at school but was in the meeting. most of the kids are talking to eachother, one boy is standing on his mat and the biter is yelling in the face of a little girl. I finally pull the cryer over next to me to make her stop and things begin to calm down. right then a four year old stands up doing the universal choking sign. I am yelling his name and jumping off the ground going towards him. in my head i think... shoot i have not taken first aid... eeek. finally he answers and says i was choking on a penny. WHAT you are nearly five why would you put a penny in your mouth. OMG.
The day rounds out with a boy getting a rock stuck in his ear. Seriously kids these holes are not to be putting stuff in like that... seriously.

luckily the next day was a bit more calm!
