a fistfight kind of day

today i had to break up a fistfight inside my classroom
i told them to stop and they didn't
so i pulled them off each other
but apparently they were magnetized
because they got pulled back together 
and resumed throwing punches at each other
around me
so i had to pull them (much further) apart again.
what are you doing?
you are small 9-year-old boys.
after that, i had my kids paint all afternoon.
art therapy of sorts.
i'm exhausted.
also, in one month i will officially be living
in an amazing apartment
in a different borough
where i can see the sky and the stars.
what a perplexing, exhausting, and in the end, 
satisfying day.
