“I’m just mad, Ms. Smith”–this is a phrase used by my students at school that has puzzled me since the beginning of the year. Certain days, certain students will come to class and just be in a general bad mood, seemingly very upset. Whenever I ask them what’s wrong or is something the matter, the [...]
Wide-Eyed Cynic vs. Blind Optimist: Where is the balance?
Today, the teacher I work with called me to her room where she read me a poem submitted by one of her students. It almost brought me to tears it was so tragically beautiful. And so well-written…with such advanced vocabulary…and command of complex analogies…hmmmm…wait…
After praising the poem for its orignality and vivid imagery, I left [...]

I couldn’t be happier!!! What do you think!
We cut off 16″, 1.5 lbs. Wow…
The Wiki-Trail
I love my husband. He can spend hours on the computer following what I’ve decided to call the “wiki-trail” (originating from the ever-dependable wikipedia). He is so inquisitive that he researches every question that comes to him throughout the day no matter how trivial or monumental. As we all know, questions can often inspire more [...]
“Punch a Koala” Days
So, I loved the careerbuilders commercial during the SuperBowl last night. Don’t we all have those days? Whether or not you love, hate or tolerate your job, I think we all have those moments where we just need to punch something…perhaps a coffee drinking pseudo-bear.
Anyway, I have decided to really focus on the positives in [...]

Sick Day :(
Sick Saturday. I have been blah since Wednesday, just sick stomach and headaches. Then during the night last night, Jeff got sick I am feeling a little better but not great, and now I am just trying to be a good nurse! I just feel kind of pitiful.
We are bummed because we were [...]
