Frustrated and taking it out on your eyes.  Sorry.  Can't be helped.  Inject humor, sarcasm, or worldly-view as needed.

Grrrrrrrr.  I gave her the stupid unit plan on Monday.  Monday.  MONDAY!!!!

We looked through it together.  I changed some stuff she wanted changed (not stuff, you'll note, that needed to be changed- just stuff that she wanted ( Read more... )

Hey!

I was expecting cream-colored ponies and bright copper kettles and warm woolen socks upon my entry to the Real World.  Well, or at least, I don't know, coffee and donuts.  What is up with it?  Is it broken today?  Seriously, is the lack of rainbows in the sky and a twinkle in the eye of every passerby an indication that it hasn't started yet?

So, I guess all I'm saying is, if you decide to drive behind me, and if you then decide to drive faster than me (which, considering the speed of my lead foot, is probably a bad decision in the first place), you probably shouldn't tailgate me while I pass a string of cars.  The minute I can no longer see your headlights in my rearview mirrors, my ( Read more... )

I don't want to alarm my fellow Wisconsonians ( Wiscosinites.  Wisconsians?  Whatever.), but I feel I must alert you all to the dangerous beauty that is Vermont Cheddar.  Sure, it is white in color and flaky in texture, and therefore unnatural and wrong ( Read more... )

My original title was going to be "Lackey with a Flamingo Suit"  or maybe "Cherry Sundae=Surprise!" or possibly, "Jack Twitched."  But then, you'd be misled into thinking several things, all of which were only one story about the weekend.  This way, you know absolutely nothing unless you take the responsibility on your shoulders by clicking, and it ( Read more... )

Kids.  No, really, even my little boring angels this semester (I say "boring" because you wouldn't believe how "exciting" some of my kids have been in the past).  Today, we decided how we would re-write "The Gingerbread Man" to make it into an original play.  Here's what popped out of their brains:

The butler in the mansion's making a gingerbread ( Read more... )
