Thanks gentlement! It still bothers me, but I’ve talked to a couple of my buddies here in my world as well as venting here and listening to what you two have had to say. It means a lot that someone cared enough to say the things you and my friends have said. Rusty – You [...]

Perhaps I am being silly here, but am both embarrassed and hurt by something that happened today. A number of years ago a close friend went with me on a school trip to the UK. She lives over a thousand miles away so it was a treat for us to be able to travel together. [...]

Bitzky – Yeah, our board has six members. I think some states do it differently, but in mine, public school boards are elected. They don’t need to have any type of knowledge on how to run a school. They don’t even have to have a basic education. It’s more than a wee bit frustrating for [...]

This is it mon last “official” week of freedom from other people’s teenagers. Next week I head back to work for workshops, the week after that the wild hordes of kids will be upon me. I’ll have my usual tenth and eleventh grade kids – for those of you in other parts of the world, [...]

Suffice it to say, that was one of the most horrific things I have ever seen/experienced. They had an open coffin. It caught me off guard. There they were – the mother, my old student, with her beautiful baby girl curled up beside her. Beneath the blanket that rested across the mommy was her tiny [...]

That has to be a really challenging instrument to learn to play. Sometime when I”m at school and have high speed, I’ll have to see if I can download some music of these instruments.

I actually tried to post this a couple of days ago, but my comp locked up and I didn’t have time to fuss with it. *** There are those news stories that just get you – they tear at your heart and make you wonder why the hell things like that happen in our world. [...]

I’m hangin’ here – hanging my head in shame. Here I was utterly and completely muttering about my hubster’s silly spending habits and I most certainly had to find a way to choke down every one of those wayward mutters. Why, you ask? Last night was silly time with my gang of grad school girlies. [...]

Congrats on the graduation. Sounds to me like your son has a darn good plan for saving money while still getting a good degree!
The education situation is so grim right now. It amazes me how deeply cuts are being made all over the country. Hopefully, this trend will soon turn around.

I hope he’s feeling better soon. Just a quick medical hint from my resident medical expert here about his pain management. If he’s on something that he takes every four hours, he can usually take a motrin or something in the middle of that time. That way when one drug is wearing off, the other [...]

I cherish my alone time. It’s funny how so many of us are wishing for things others with to eliminate. I sometimes feel I’m too surrounded by people and just don’t get enough time to just sit back and be by myself.

Yesterday I drove Girlcub to the theater so she could meet a friend for some teeniebopper movie. When we drove up, I noticed three squirmy little boys and one chubby little boy all hanging outside the theater. As soon as I parked, the chubby one walked over to the car with a “wanted poster”. The [...]

It sure sounds like you’ve been having a wonderful summer. I love those sculptures; maybe someday I’ll have to head that way myself. It’s only a few hours from my place. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us!
