Happy birthday to me! Honestly, I'm not really in a big celebrating mood yet, but Saturday I will be maybe. I did go to Great Moon Buffet tonight with family (thanks Mom and Dad!) and I didn't do any school work after I got home (which I'm definitely stressing out about tonight). It'll be fine. … Continue reading September 13: My Lucky Day

September 12: The Ass and the Class – A Fable
Today was... difficult. Don't get me wrong, most of the day was good, but just super busy. I think I let small things bother me too much and I think I might be trying to do too much. As usual. BUT... today, a kid who has been trying my patience since the beginning of school … Continue reading September 12: The Ass and the Class – A Fable
September 5: Loooooong day, crazy night news
This trimester is going to be tough. I had all my classes today - got to meet my juniors and seniors because today was the first day for them - and it's a lot to have so many classes at two schools. I actually know most of the seniors in my class from last year, … Continue reading September 5: Loooooong day, crazy night news
September 1: Suggestions for the State Fair
We took our annual trip to the Great Minnesota Get-Together today and while it was fun, I have a few suggestions for improvements. We should have a 12-day pass that we can buy to let us go to the fair any time. I would prefer to go to the fair for a few hours a … Continue reading September 1: Suggestions for the State Fair
August 29: teacher tired
Today was my 3rd 12-hour-day in a row and it caught up to me. I fell asleep then woke up and remembered I have to write. I have so much to learn with two schools, and then two orientations, and tomorrow happens to be both of my kids' back-to-school nights. So another 12 hour day, … Continue reading August 29: teacher tired
August 28: I just don’t learn
Eventually I might. I came home from work exhausted and crashed, then had to wake up for a while to meet with a friend. I am still awake and tomorrow is a long day and I'm tired but my brain is racing. There is simply so much to think about and work at. There is … Continue reading August 28: I just don’t learn
August 25: Cranky as Hell
Today was my version of Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I couldn't sleep last night because it was too warm and Dak was snoring and my hand went numb and nothing worked to help it. Finally, Dak got up to go help with an Eagle project and I finally fell asleep, then … Continue reading August 25: Cranky as Hell
August 23: Whoa melatonin
I'd been having some trouble going to sleep, so I asked Anders if he had any melatonin upstairs. He did. He gave me one. I haven't used melatonin before if I remember correctly. I may have tried it once when Anders started taking it, but I don't remember. All I know is, this stuff knocks … Continue reading August 23: Whoa melatonin
August 22: The US is run by a bunch of terrible people
And it's really depressing. Even the people who I want to cheer on seem like they are terrible. There are definitely some good people working to keep things going - I know a few people who are working the the government, doing their best with this turmoil - but it seems like almost all the … Continue reading August 22: The US is run by a bunch of terrible people
August 21: What HAPPENED in the world when I was totally self obsessed?
So I've been dreading the test I had this morning for carpal tunnel syndrome for the past day/day-and-a-half and while I've been wallowing in self pity, the world seems to have erupted with news! Paul Manafort is found guilty on 8 counts and can be retried on the other 10. Michael Cohen pleads guilty to … Continue reading August 21: What HAPPENED in the world when I was totally self obsessed?
