September 30th, 2009 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 and then getting emails and Tweets and realizing that this weekend was just September 29th, 2009 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, curly hair and was rather rotund and demanded that they follow me to the September 28th, 2009 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 ever been, EVER. He decided to go play poker at a cardroom near where September 25th, 2009 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 a miracle—we were so close to losing her, and not only is she alive September 24th, 2009 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 derailing any productive review of similes and metaphors. Anyways, this parent did not show up, September 23rd, 2009 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 it did get me thinking. I thought about it in yoga class that weekend, September 22nd, 2009 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 bad here in California, it’s hot as blazes for the first day of fall—supposedly September 22nd, 2009 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 looked horrified. As they should. I mean, really?! I’m just trying to talk here. September 21st, 2009 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 that Jennifer’s character IS A FREE SPIRIT. She is QUIRKY. As a bit of a September 21st, 2009 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 favorite things in the world; however, I had a lot of things to attend |
