I was drinking a can of root beer this past week at school, and one of my students - M - asked me if I liked the soda. I said yes, and then he proceeded to tell me,  "Bees like sweet stuff, too ( Read more... )

Yes, the c word is back yet again to grace my family with it's presence. Cancer. But this time, my brother. He got this growth near his eye back a few months ago - maybe early summer.

After a fourteen and a half hour work day yesterday, I decided to take a "mental health" day, as we like to call them at school.

They aren't bad kids - just chatty with no sense of the fact that I'm trying to teach them something. It's to be expected with first ( Read more... )

Josh asked me this morning as I was on my way out the door why I was so moody this morning. Within seconds, I was on the verge of tears. It's a valid question. I am so frustrated with so many aspects of my life right now, I don't know what to do with myself. It's not really worth going into detail, because it would just come out as a self-pitying ( Read more... )

I'm sure this won't be the most exciting entry, but for whatever reason, I feel compelled to write it. So there ( Read more... )
