Up at the BCoD


Yep..that's what time it is...the ButtCrackofDawn.
Could be earlier...I ain't seeing no dawning out there yet.

And it's gonna take a helluvalotta Diet Coke to jumpstart my butt today.
This week is killing me....but it's nearly over.

Our big JA project is Friday night..and if I don't collapse before then, I'll be fine.
I've put in so many hours in the past 2 weeks on it...including this morning...being interviewed on the radio at 6:45am...before school.
Noone else would do it....."I can't get up that early"..."I'm doing good to get out of my house by 7:00".."I've got kids to get ready"....
Yeh Yeh...Whatever...MEfreakinTOO!

So here I am...up...about to rouse my children an hour earlier than normal...

going out every afternoon this week hanging more flyers, selling more tickets....

our town is papered in flyers announcing the spaghetti we'll be serving up.

We better serve a LOT, for all the work I've done.

I've worked hard.

I hope someone notices...yeh, I'm vain that way. I want someone to take notice of my efforts. Just once.

This is not the only rodeo I'm in right now...My other projects are creeping up on me demanding attention....but this one gets priority this week.

I just hope it goes well to show something for all our efforts.

Yeh...I'm venting.
I'm tired

I need a gallon of Diet Coke right now...

Nectar of the Gods, it should be called.

Hey honey...my internet has been down since yesterday so I'm just now seeing this post.

Why don't I read you? I don't read anyone at Bloop...I just never go there. I don't know what's up with me but I am very much not feeling like myself right now...and Bloop doesn't feel like the homey/friendly place it used to feel like. *sigh* I don't know how to explain it.

Just so much going on and I feel so bad. No excuse, I know, but it's just the truth.

I do love you, thought...you know that, right?

Robin, I have to be honest - sometimes I really think you need to simply back off and let yourself have time off. You're days are always so packed.

Just my humble opinion.

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Image
Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
