summer (RSS)
Even though we don't want to, we have to admit it - summer is almost over. I know, I know...it hurts just to say it, right? This is usually the time of the season when I think to myself, "Self, what have you gotten done? Where is that To Do List? Is someone

In the spirit of tooting my own organizational horn (yes, I have been in Organize Mode quite a bit this summer...a girl's gotta have some fun, right?), I will now give you a rare glimpse inside my personal life and how my obsession with all things Post

I think I may have actually topped myself in organizational nerdiness. I know, I KNOW. You thought it couldn't be done. You thought to yourself, "Self, this Mrs. Mimi truly is an organizational goddess." And then you read about this. And you thought again.

As I sipped my coffee this morning, I had a flash of what I would be doing at this time of day if it was sometime during the school year. Suddenly, instead of relaxing with my book (not MY BOOK...although that would be a great read - hint, hint...but

I know that I have previously pimped myself out to advertise the sheer wonder that is the Stainless Steel Sharpie ...I mean, words cannot describe this innovation in organizational/office supplies. (Insert large sigh and a shiver of delight here.) I also

Rumor has it that we are going to be getting new seat sacks emblazoned with the school's name and mascot. However, we will NOT be receiving any paper what-so-ever. Let us break this down, shall we? 1. Seat sacks are the bomb. Seriously, I heart them intensely

In an effort to try to cushion the blow of going back to work (and going in early), today I went in about 10:00. I am absolutely NOT setting my alarm clock until I absolutely need to...and watching the Today Show while sipping on coffee is just so darn

I did it. I really did it. I went back to school. ugh. Now, many of you may think of me as a particularly dedicated, rock-star of a teacher. (Which is, of course, correct.) However, it may come as a surprise to you when I admit that I have NEVER gone

No, I am not getting a raise. Or a bonus check. Or any sort of monetary congratulations/sign of appreciation for my kick a*s year last year, so don't get excited. The dollar signs belong to me. Or at least they used to. Now they belong to Staples. I have

So, I'm back from my fabulous trip. I am tanned, well-rested and happy. Minus my camera getting stolen in what will remain an un-named city, we had the most amazing time and a wonderful anniversary. (Fortunately, I had uploaded some pictures onto my computer,

All righty friends, I'm off!! Off where you say? I'll never tell...but just know it is fabulous and I'll be back in the middle of August. So, enjoy the bon bons, Oprah and magazines - you deserve it!! Pee when you want, eat lunch after 11:00 and sleep

So...it has been brought to my attention that I haven't posted in a bit. And while I'm flattered that you are hanging on my every word (I like to kid myself.), it is hard to think of school related posts when one is not working. Or thinking about working.

Yes, it is summer. Yes, I sometimes find myself reclining with a magazine. Yes, I sleep later. Yes, I have watched a Project Runway Marathon...and I don't feel a bit guilty! I welcome these weeks when I get to shake off the struggles of last year, dream

This last weekend, it was brought to my attention that sometimes I speak to adults as if they were 8-year olds. (My immediate response, in case you were wondering was, "Well, stop acting like an 8-year old." Self-reflective, I know.) I guess my brother-in-law

I have officially been on vacation for fourteen business days! Whoo-hoo, right? But I'm beginning to think that I am incapable of totally relaxing and enjoying the time. I don't think it's guilt, because I don't feel guilty. Anyone who thinks teachers
