meme time!
Ok, here's a fun one I happened across accidentally. It's very reminiscent of the games my family used to play with the Videohound Movie Guide ( Read more... ) -
Ends and odds.
One particular child in my class has decided his favorite way to nap is to sleep soundly for 45 minutes, then wake up every 10 minutes after that unless there is someone sitting right next to his cot for the duration of naptime. Today I managed to forget my knitting project and my book at home, so we're trying out the whole using-the-computer thing ( Read more... ) -
I'm made of GOLD!
My golden birthday turned out to be quite golden indeed, especially by way of contrast to the inauspicious days leading up to it (puking from migraine sinus headache on Saturday morning does not promise a good weekend). But somehow Saturday night, just before the clock flipped over to April 29, I started feeling surprisingly human again, and the ( Read more... ) -
When a toddler is telling you, "Kristen, lie down, go sleepy," you shouldn't be at work.
Crabby again now. I had to come into work today anyway, because our substitute early-childhood-teacher supplier has yet again failed to supply. And of course I woke up feeling much sicker than I did when I went to bed (though I admit that could have had something to do with my staying up too late, foolishly and overly-optimistically anticipating a ( Read more... ) -

My--brain--hurts!
Hmm. I'm sure that when I created that icon I hoped I would never have to use it twice in a row. Oh, well.

In which I relate the Push 'N' Go Incident, at great length.
Last night we got the Craig's List warm fuzzies as we met some surprisingly lovely people in a particularly horrible upscale housing development in Rosemount and bought my ideal dining room set from them. Craig's List has seriously been good to us; just in the last month or two we've gotten a very sturdy cat carrier, a lovely set of dark wood ( Read more... ) -
The warehouse.
Well, the kitchen is still the only room that is fully unpacked and put together, but we've made great strides on the other rooms, and have also unpacked and shelved all the books. ALL the books. This is a major accomplishment, people--trust me. I'm not saying they won't be rearranged at some point soon because, well, I'm a leetle bit type-A. But ( Read more... ) -
Getting there.
And here I had thought that I was dreading coming back to work. Almost the second I walked in the door I had this wave of calmness, just at the escape from our rather chaotic new home and the return to my organized, under-control classroom. The kids are always great on the first day back from a long break, too, somewhat surprisingly so. Mostly, I ( Read more... )
