A Halloween Treat!

Hello all.
I know I've been gone for an eternity... That monster called School has swallowed me alive and I'm drowning.
But after several hours of marathon grading this past Saturday, I did manage to get to the local gardens again with mom and here are the pictures of the 500lb pumpkins they carved- neat, no?

Good Samaritans and Good Examples

YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNN!

What a week! 350 absent yesterday and 5 confirmed cases of the piggy flu... so they finally decided to close us on Monday seeing has having the students clean their own desks every day at first and last classes hasn't helped.

On the way home about half way into my hour commute yesterday I got a flat tire. Yippe. After several calls to both Chrysler and my road side assistace, a truly nice human being- a guy in a Comcast truck stopped and changed… Continue

Posted Notes and Confidence

I'm on day something of round something or other... I give up on counting, numbers are evil anyway.

I got to school so early that I took myself to Burger King for a round of cinaminis this morning on the drive in and even walking around Wegmans for 20 minutes, still got in at 7:30. It felt good to be there that early and get most of what I needed done.

While in Wegmans, there was a posted note display, with really good ones- things like "My blood type is COFFEE". I found two that fit two reall… Continue

Tired teacher... small give today. I didn't go down to eat with rest of my friends at lunch so that I wouldn't pass on the black death I'm nursing... Had to type 4 out of 5 classes today (we have overhead projectors and screens), hope it passes before the parade on Saturday... =(

24/3

Good gracious! I'm getting toward the end again and haven't really done much or said much this round!

I'm home grading today. I spent 5 hours in a knitting class catching up on my wrap I'm making yesterday and got home to rip the entire thing out due to a mistake in the very beginning! . I have a new class on Wednesday night for a sweater and I can't keep up!

This week is Spirit Week at school and we have a TON o stuff going on, karaoke (sp?) at lunch for the kids, finishing up the decorating… Continue

there is no gift too small and you are doing this for you but i understand your struggle. somehow a daily good deed feels devoid of goodness if you run around telling people about it. you don't have to write what you gave, you can just do a creati...
