Love it when:

A team works together, to help a kiddo...

Friday FINALLY cooperates and rescues me...

I get my toes all prettied up...

My offspring calls me on the phone WITHOUT being prompted...

My house is pretty close to being all clean!!

A kiddo smiles because you just helped him finish four assignments...


Hate it when:

A kiddo is hurting inside, but, can't tell you why...

Full moons and drastic changes in weather make my students do weird things...

Fridays take SOOooooo long to get here to rescue me...

The road is too long...

The day is not long enough, and

The weekend is WAY too short...

Thursday's thoughts...

Lovin':

The slow, sweet rain, and the oh, so welcome, cloudy, cool day it brings...

James Taylor's tunes playing in the background of my classroom all day long...
and in my truck, on the way to and from school...I missed you James, where have you been man, and by the way, you have aged well.  I've loved you since junior high.

A wonderful, much needed massage...
Can I say it again?  MY MASSAGE DAY - THURSDAY!!!!!

Acrostics written by my students...

That moment when I get through to THAT student...

Good friends, who also have good shoulders...

My guy...


Hatin':

Picture day at school...ugh...I always, I mean ALWAYS skip out on the first day of pictures (not school, just the pictures!), then, I am always, I mean ALWAYS forced to have my picture taken on "re-take" day....(my most un-favorite day of the year at school)....in the hopes that I will lose another 10-50 pounds between now and then....ha!! Not one, but, maybe a dozen or so of my students asked, "Did you get your picture taken?"  I answered with, "No, not yet."  Of course, they all said, "Well, you better get it done now!!",  to which I always replied, "I will, later."  Boy, will I be in trouble when the secretary finds out!!

That I'm truly feelin' the proverbial "empty nest syndrome" BIG TIME!!!

Distance, again...

That I am so DANG emotional about the whole empty nest thing!!  

When I NEED to get through to that OTHER student, but can't seem to...


"Just call out my name, and you know, wherever I am, I'll come runnin'..."
