If you are old like me, or like I’m fixin’ to be soon, you might remember this commercial: Rather than launch into a discussion about how this irritated me when it came out, how it’s a tag phrase I remember now, and how it is possible they were making a joke (I hope), I will…
The lovies are playing board games, dressing up from the costume bin, and challenging me to various card games. They’ve earned some free-choice time at the end of the day on a Friday. J. observes B. is not paying attention during our game of Uno and is causing our game to go more slowly than…
One of my caped friends sent this blog to me. It is enough to simply repost here… Reposted from http://heygirlteacher.tumblr.com/
This caped teacher and one of her caped friends watched Chicago a while back on the television box. We intended to watch something else, but this caped teacher made an error in planning. Good news though, Rule #5 has revealed itself (see the rest of the rules here). Roxie Hart has quite shocking language in…
I have a couple of students with Autism or Autistic-like behaviors (an actual thing when the diagnosis isn’t clear on an educational level).

More specifically, 100 Good Things. I discovered a new magazine recently. I was drawn in by the cover (see photo to the left). True, the word GOOD screams out at you. This may have been the first thing I saw. Additionally, the cover is made from a matte-artsy-mod-hipster material and I wanted to pick it…
I LOVE the people in this publication. I am equally tickled that this is where I got to be “published” for the first time. So, in honor of shameless self-promotion… here I am! http://www.scribd.com/doc/76758253/Dialogue-Winter-2011-12
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that I haven’t been posting, but I feel the need to say… I haven’t been posting. Some caped-crusader-kryptonite found its way around the cape, and I’ve been trying to get my senses back. With that in mind, I must say that my little poo-muffins are the best…
