For thise of you keeping track (and I know that some of you are) I have a new favorite part of woodworking. Are you ready??? Here it is......it is STAINING!!! YAY...wait..BOOOOOOO. I now have a dislike of staining anything. Aside from the fact that I would rather see the natural wood color, it is an absolute mess to deal with, and it runs ( Read more... )

Well, I came home at lunch today. My throat was real sore and I had a migrane. Not a lot of fun at school today. My blood sugar has also been on the warpath. It fell when I got to school this morning. Georgene (the teacher next door) was on my case for the most of the morning. She is a real nice lady, kind of like my Mom, only not. So I got home ( Read more... )

Well, today I had an interesting day. Took my Recycling Club members out to an "earth day" awards thingy. They have done an excellent job this year of keeping the awareness up at school and actually doing all of the recycling in the school.

I have a very social class that makes me want to start to take vallium on some days. I think that my blood pressure has hit an all time high. They are capable of so much, but ( Read more... )

It has been one LOOOOOOONG week for me. It seems that we have been taking one sort of test or giving one type of assessment since the begining of the school year. It has been five weeks and I think that I may have just finished the final one of the quater. Funny how we just finished midterms yesterday. It has been Crazy. Last weekend I actually got ( Read more... )

Man, this getting in shape thing sucks ( Read more... )

Today we played dodgeball. By we I mean me and three other teachers (bad grammer I know). It was funny we try and do things together after school to keep us united as professionals. Not only fun events like dodgeball and volleyball, but fun stuff like...say...drinking. Not to much though I am still responsible. SO as we only had four people we ( Read more... )
