Despite the fact that we do not officially have to go in until Thursday, I have been inundated with requests from my principal and content coach to come in starting today. We started getting the mass e-mails requesting our presence last week. Good thing that ever since the first year I have created the habit [...]

Curious
Does anyone know if I can borrow Michael Phelps for a week or so…? I’d even take him for just a weekend…you know, simply to hang about the house flexing his abs or something…

Absence…
…might make the heart grow fonder? Who knows, but I’ll be absent until school begins. I’m giving it another year and we’ll see how it goes. In the meantime, perhaps I’ll take Woodswoman’s advice and go hang out in the mountains…

What If.
What if I just walked away? From this job/career I mean. I really felt funky at the end of this year, and after more than 3 weeks off, the funk is definitely still there and in a BAD way. I have been perusing ads…and not for teaching jobs…not totally seriously at this point, but I [...]

Too Hot to Even Attempt a Real Title.
I can’t be held responsible for my actions in this heat. I may have been on the verge of throwing a temper tantrum today I was so miserable. I’m getting zits from the humidity. Gross, disgusting, greasy, grown-up zits. The thermometer in the science lab said it was nearly 113 in that room. Not kidding. [...]

Lasagna. Chicken Casserole. Cake. Zuchinni Bread.
All the things in the title are meant to bake in the oven.
What’s not meant to bake in a classroom that feels like an oven is this teacher and her 60-already-obnoxious-students.
Seriously, it’s probably criminal how hot it was! We were all lethargic and useless and sweaty and smelly, and well, gross.
I am jealous of all [...]
