Happy Day
We ordered the rest of our china last night! Soon, I'll have a set of twelve. We were only going to buy two sets because that's how much we had budgeted for, but after a mix up at the store, we decided that it would be best to finish the set. Now I just need to get some china holders.
Eleven days left of school... -
Spaghetti & Politics
To begin with, I haven't really paid attention to the political field since Utah's primary back in February. I mean, I listen to what's going on the television, but haven't much cared. (This doesn't mean that I DON'T care, it's just that there have been some more important things going on in my life right now. And I fully intend to do a lot of ( Read more... ) -
cheating
This period is really started to get on my nerves. (Yes, it's the same one from yesterday...and from a few months ago.) Today we had blatant cheating. Just spent the last twenty minutes creating five new versions of today's quiz. Looks like we're retaking the quiz tomorrow.

Oh Joy
Lovely. I was just informed that one of my students has the chicken pox. She was in class all of last week. Most students should have been vaccinated, but those who don't?... And then there's me. I had it in 1st grade, but it was such a mild case, that knowing me, I'll probably end up getting it again. Goody ( Read more... ) -

Alas...almost a snow day
Actually, I think that I prefer it this way. School's been delayed for two hours. Of course, I didn't hear about it until I was a block away from the building. But I now have two hours to finish everything I didn't get done last night.
Happy Valentines (or Single Awareness) Day to everyone!!! -
Happy Thanksgiving
Just noticed that my last entry was three weeks ago. Well, that does make sense. Three weeks, our happy little married life turned upside-down.
So, while procrastinating studying for his final, my husband decided to attempt to make a brick of thermite late on Halloween night. (See You Tube video for more info.)
Yes. This is what my husband was ( Read more... ) -
Grrrr
Lost temper BIG TIME while student teacher was giving brilliant activity to unruly students. The activity went better than perfect with the two classes that I still teach, but went horribly with her class. I have to keep telling myself that it's more than just the difference in teachers, or the difference in grades (one's 7th grade and one's 8th ( Read more... )
