If you're like me, you've been spending all your free time running around to various malls, shopping plazas, and speciality stores in search of the perfect gift(s) and literally vomiting money along the way. Seriously, it's like we can't give it away

Oh friends! My heart is literally pounding for I am angry! Irritated! Astounded! And no,before you jump to conclusions, this has NOTHING to do with the Bacon Hunter! (Surprised?) Today I am angry because I finally read the story from Sunday's New York

And no, by asking you what your "sleep number" is, I"m not implying that the good people at Sleepys have gotten to me with their hilarious and adorable little sheep, flooding me with cash to pimp their goods. That's not it at all. I mean, geez, I still

I think it may be time for her to start singing. There are a few annual events at my school that are prime for high drama. These are days in which tempers run high and the bullshit is thick and deep. For example, Picture Day is a day filled with last

Alternative Title for this post - I Think I Might Throw My First Punch Soon... Oh man. I am angry. Angry with a capital P-I-S-S-E-D! I was having this lovely little Friday with my friends...I introduced a group of super excited readers to a new character,

Last May, my printer started defiantly flashing those two dreaded words: "Low Toner". Rather listen to the desperate pleas of my printer, I kept printing away. Because I could. Well, friends, I have pushed the envelope too far, and I am officially not

I think you know how the rest of that little saying goes. I'm so disappointed in myself. Here it is 22 days into 2009 and I was doing such a good job of staying positive. I'm loving my class more and even getting some better results out of Big Boy. Everything

For this post, please picture me in a tutu with those fabulous lace up ballet shoes. I would never actually buy them, but sometimes, I think they sound amazing. We are not going to explore that one any further. So my metaphorical tightrope is my relationship

...So Take Off All Your Clothes...or at least strip down to a school- appropriate layer. Why you ask? Why are we stripping in my classroom? In December? Because today it was officially 89 degrees in my classroom. Yes, 89. I'm thinking about dressing everyone

A while back I wrote about the great Parking Wars of 2008 and how our current union representative was as helpful and well, representative of us as a pile of poo . Yea, I said it. If you haven’t yet read those posts, shame on you...but now is you opportunity
