"even dough"

...Grading essays...

I wonder why people don't think that you can notice the change.

They used to say the words.
They used to tell what they were doing before you had to ask.
They used to speak in a tone that held caring even in the frustrating times.
They used to want to talk.
They used to call.

I wonder why people don't think that you can notice the change.
Or that you haven't seen it before.
Without love, you have to just give up.

"What kind of woman are you?"

He said...

It is better to misplace a car then to have it stolen.

Teacher moments...

"A grown woman knows when to let you go."

I love you...and you can take that any way you want.

If I get blamed for someone else's passive aggressive-"ness" one more time...

Red lights appear to be optional now.

So being a teacher DOES come in handy.
"Are you a student?"

"Do you have any teacher identification?"

Some cops like teachers.

Oh... and don't pull over on the left side of the road.

Utter rediculousness. Just take notes!

"rice cakes, eggnog, and ACP."

"no wait...there's a cow on that eggnog."

"how about some corn [on your burrito]."

"I sit through car washes during my lunch break."



...Some things....you just have to be there!

Student: I wish there was a time machine so I can go back during that time and give them a piece of my mind. Ooooh Man. Uh. If I was there--

Another student: you wouldn't make it back.

I am in charage of the panther head.

...and I get paid in Starbucks.

So ummm... yeah

Houston exits.
Going through neighborhoods...
"Is this a dead end?" - 5 minutes!
Drive through...waiting...waiting... - late
Nevermind, no time
NO LUNCH!

Oh they wrote it wrong on the schedule.
No inservice.

MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.

No one ever thinks about the person
who has to see the same movie/scenes
3-4 or even 6-7 times a day.

MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.

I hate bathrooms and supposed overactive bladders.

"A single quote is like one hand clapping."

A4 - My last period tests.

Tests are such great days.

- quiet

- focused

- purposeful

Haven't we all been programmed that way?

What would happen if I called everthing a test...

Quiet everyday?

On task everyday?

Careful thought everyday?

Stress + panic everyday?

Nope, maybe in an ideal world.

The power of one word.

You have been at work too long when the janitor comes and tells you "cinco minutos" and the lights start turning off as you hurry down the stairs.

At least we didn't get one of the cars locked inside the gate this time around.

My student explains to me that he has found an example of "mean mugging" in Shakespeare...

"Friends are great, but friends are not going to be here on a night when you're coughing and can't sleep and someone has to sit up all night with you, comfort you, try to be helpful."

Patients Runs Thin
As U Go Through Your Motions
I Cry Oceans

I Get Migranes

I Get A Headache

Remembering the good times. Time does fly.

Am I pretending that this will work?

Can you be with someone with different values than you have? Should you feel sick inside? What will be the excuse next time?

Will this work?

Funny how my world keeps spinnin'
sometimes you can be so silly
You know just how to make me laugh
Ooh, your skin is so lovely
It moves me when you touch me
I know that you got my back
It feels so safe when you hold me
It's already like you know me

Strange Fruit-

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop

...

What does she have on me
What does she do that is so damn good that would make you give up
all the love all the trust and the stuff that you built with me
Does she know my name
Did you ever tell her that she was taking and breaking the bond that we strengthened
through blood sweat and tears over the years

Another relationship
How could you do this to us is that what this is about
Another relationship

How could you leave so easily
Is she worth all that baby
Sacrificed our happy life
For Another relationshipA
nd this wasnt what you promised me
Another relationship
Another relationship
You said you would love me love me
love me forever baby
So how come I wasnt good enough
I know all relationships get tough,
How could you do this to me

Yay for TFA. http://www.mackinac.org/article.aspx?ID=4045

The unknown, isn't unknown.

2 + 2 = 4

When you wish upon a star.

Yet, I haven't seen a star in ages.

Stubborn. Naive. Scared.

Tomorrow 2 + 2 = 2

In my world.

"Eighty percent of success is showing up."

"Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it."

Yay. No School. School canceled because of ice. College gets better and better.

Being born with a mixed anatomy happens more often than you think. According to the Intersex Society of North America, 1 in 100 people have bodies that don't meet the standard definition of male or female.

A recent CareerBuilder.com survey uncovered unusual jobs like Blueberry counter, dynamite packer, fantasy theme park character, obituary writer, trapper of black bears and voice for recorded announcements.

Not owning a TV. Fewer than 2% of American households are without one.

The average American family has 1.86 children. A baby is born every 8 seconds in America, and it's slightly more likely to be male. One woman loved having children so much she did it 69 times! Her identity is unknown and whether or not she lives in a shoe and does not know what to do is uncertain.

The American dream of a college education hasn't come true for most Americans - only 24.4% of us have completed a bachelor's degree or higher.

Squatting. While illegal in the U.S. it's legal in the U.K. In fact, under British law, squatters are even entitled to electricity, water and other essential services.

If you're soooo cute, then why are you so desperate? lmao...it's called settling
