I left for a number of reasons.  All have to do with the school I was at last.  First and foremost, though my contract stated I would have a self contained elementary classroom they placed me in a rotating middle school classroom.  Next, they gave me a choice of what subject.  I said anything but social studies.  They made me the social studies ( Read more... )

Vacation was so much fun!  The weather was not nice enough for swimming or the beach, but it was nice enough to be outside in cooler clothing.  We went to Universal and it's the off season, so the MOST we waited in line was 20 minutes.  if you've ever been there, you know an hour 20 is a nice wait.  Then we visited his great Aunt Meem (short for ( Read more... )

I loved the Coldplay concert,. 
I still hate the Verizon people who lied to me and are still calling me.

Wow Katie, we might be seeing them on the same tour!  Another exciting thing is that I hear Vetran's Stadium is getting torn down or something, so it'll be a historic event ( Read more... )

A bit back I was reading about how Angie uses candles. I am not a candle person, but it inspired me.  I bought a pumpkin pie one and vanilla one.  They make it so cozy.  Last night after a long fun-family filled weekend, I lit a candle, made a cup of tea and dimmed down the lights while watching House and Cold Case...it was very cozy.  Especially ( Read more... )

I actually enjoyed the presidental debate last night. It's ashame I could not stay up for the entire thing though (I was so sleepy.).  IN the hour that I watched, I think that I fell more away from McCain.  He is just plain rude.  He's always been rude in everything that I've seen him in.  He tends to get fired up, but I think in a bad way.  And I  ( Read more... )
