On a lighter note- how to shut down a potential fight REALLY fast...
...though I can't say I recommend this strategy.  
This morning during homeroom two of my boys were about to start slugging away. It has not been a good week and I am just DONE with the meanness and pettiness.
But today, I just lost it. I yelled, "Cut the $#*!" and suddenly you could have heard a pin drop. I didn't mean to use that word- but they all stopped in their tracks,even the two who were in each others faces, and stared at me. Then they started cracking up. In fifteen years, I have never used that word in front of kids. But it worked like a charm.

OMG! U sound like me. I think I slipped two or three times this year. I really think it's the pregnancy hormones. Once was in the hallways when a door got flung into me. The other two were in a class that I just had enough of. It did work quite quickly though.
