So, last week’s post was all sweetness and light and “I’m going to accept my body, yay!” and then?
Then I saw pictures of myself at The Blathering.
My first response was tears. Partially, yes, because I was tired and I was overwhelmed with all of the emotions I felt at meeting such awesome ladies and bonding [...]
Yesterday, I was headed to the teacher restroom during a passing period when I saw two students engaged in a shoving match. I did my typical, “HEY!” gutteral yell, when one of the students smacked the other’s backpack really hard.
I marched up to the offender, who was dressed in a purple shirt, had long, black, [...]
All day last Friday, I sat around and said to myself, “WHY DID YOU SEND THAT EMAIL INVITING YOURSELF TO A PARTY?”
I can’t tell you how stinking scared I was. My stomach hurt all day long, and when I got ready to go, I told Andrew that I think I was more nervous than I’d [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared what’s going on with my family situation, and there’s been quite a bit of news.
First, and best, Grandma Carol is doing much better! She is out of the hospital and into a rehab center, which we are so happy about. Doctors and nurses have literally referred to her as [...]
Yesterday, I was at work, long after the kiddos had left my classroom, I was taking a bit of a break prior to attending a parent conference in which I was going to have to share that this particular student has a penchant for making fart jokes in front of my entire class, sort of [...]
You may have noticed—or not—that I’ve shied away from writing my typical “Fat Tuesday” posts the past week or two. It was all spurned by a comment that the sweet, lovely, supportive Jaka left me, asking why on earth I continued to call myself “fat” in posts.
This touched a nerve, not in a bad way, but [...]
OK, so sorry to discuss my sinus issues earlier. It should be noted that 1) I have a cold-allergy deal that’s making me a bit stuffy. 2) No children were hit/harmed by the grossness.
That being said, Hannah posted a lovely fall meme that had such original questions, I thought I might do it here. Too [...]
Can we just talk about two things that happened to me yesterday?
First of all, I was talking to my students, having a typical Monday morning check-in discussion about the weekend, the day ahead and other boring tasks. And then? THEN A HUGE BOOGER FLEW OUT OF MY NOSE. My poor students in the front row [...]
Over the weekend, Andrew and I saw “Love Happens” which was a movie I was definitely TOO excited to see, mostly because I love Jennifer Aniston, and think she’s cute as a button. The movie was okay—a few tear jerker moments, a few laughs, and definitely a lot of weirdness to make sure you understand [...]
I definitely received an email yesterday from a friend asking me simply, “Are you dead? YOU DIDN’T BLOG!”
I am very much alive. To be truthful, Internet, I have a list of posts that I wish to write, and that I will get to this week; however, I needed a break. Blogging is one of my [...]
