Talkin' bout my generation


On the same day I added a former high school teacher of mine to my friends list on FB, one of MY former kindergarten students found ME.

She was in my class in 1991...all grown up and graduated from college now...married...beautiful.which led me to several other kids from her class--rehashing memories...hearing her side of events from back then..how I was "a god" in her words.

LOL now here she is...applying for a teaching job...told her to use my name if she wanted at the school my former asst. principal whom I love is now the principal.
wow.....aged me greatly in a day to see how those sweet little faces I remember have matured into these beautiful successful young woman and men.

Made me realize that maybe I didn't screw up a whole generation of kids!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So...back to school today.
Trying to get stuff ready to be out Thursday and Friday.
It takes so long to get substitute stuff ready. I probably spend more time prepping for her than she spends teaching the stuff I leave! LOL

Yesterday was quiet...laid around all morning. Went to the dentist in the afternoon. All good reports. Matthew's temporary front teeth are still strong and holding on. (When he broke them off and had them replaced, they said they'd last about a year. It's been a year and a half now.)


Sunday I was upset. Our Girl Scout Cookie delivery didn't make it in.
They won't be here for another week---next Sunday.
I won't be here Sunday to get them, so I'll have to make arrangements to get them Monday or something. Just pisses me off. The notes we had plainly stated the girls would start delivering today! GRRRR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Not much else going on.
Need to get organized.

Tutoring today....and taking a meal to a family in my Sunday School Class.

Church and Choir Practice tomorrow.

All day workshop in Arkadelphia Thursday, then PTO Meeting at 7pm, then going to Mom's to spend the night.

Driving to Oklahoma City on Friday with Molly for a girlie weekend.
Coming home Sunday.

JA on Monday night.

I may need to "not do" a couple of things in there...thinking of having someone do my tutoring today. And maybe skipping the PTO meeting Thursday night so we won't be so late driving to Mom's.

Yeh...I just may do that.

Ok..time to get ready for Math and Word Study. Kids will be back from the Library in 20 minutes.

Y'all have a great Tuesday that feels like Monday!

Oh, I wish one of my former kindergarten students would find me. I taught at an inner city school in Ft.Worth, and didn't keep up with any of them. :(

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

Image
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...
