distractions

Me: Look at Mrs. Partner in Crime when she's talking.

Pixie: Wow, nice glasses.

Me: What were the directions?

Pixie: I love your rings.

Me: Look at my face. Am I happy or sad?

Pixie: Wow, where'd you get that necklace?

Teeth grind, deep breath, it is only the second week of school.

Then, tonight I sat in my Stats class and tried really, really hard to pay attention. I really want to know this stuff, and I really want to do well in stats, and I really tried to focus on what my professor was saying. But she was wearing this adorably cute dress and I wondered where she got it. And then I wondered if I had time to buy a new dress for back to school night tomorrow, which made me wonder what I would wear to Back to School Night, and all of a sudden I had no idea what was going on with the numbers, graphs, and squiggly lines on the board.

Pixie and Me? Not so different after all...

They always say, you have to be a little special ed to teach special ed. And how true is it? I'm REALLY ADHD when it comes to people talking to me. I just want to blurt out or ask a question.. just like my little friends do.

On a different note.. can't wait to hear more about Pixie. I have a feelings she's going to provide LOTS of entertainment! :)
