Sunday Morning Confessional
The hubs, who was raised in a very strict Polish Catholic family, and is a TAD more religious than I, was still musing about our recent winfall while we cuddled in bed this morning. “I really prayed for this. I did. I asked Him for help and now look.”
(And this will explain why I am going to hell…)
“Then you should expect another check by the weekend, cuz LORD KNOWS I...

Holy shit! I feel like I just won the lottery!
Got what I thought was the next mortgage bill. Opened it up expecting to see the message telling us January’s payment has not been sent SO PAY UP DIRTBAGS and instead found a check in the amount of seventeen hundred FUCKING dollars!!! Basically the amount of our missing mortgage payment. Seems we’ve been paying way too much into escrow so we had twice as much as we needed in there so...
Sometimes 140 just isn't enough
Yesterday I was reflecting on the 25th anniversary of the Challenger explosion with a tweet that got me musing on how that tragedy changed the way we would now view news (tweet #2). I had said that a new age (watch while it happens) had begun.
I thought that qualifier was a pretty good description of what I meant, especially for under 140 characters, but a friend responded with “That change...

To all of you who are going to SNARK this weekend:

wickedlytwiztid:
I hate you all so hard right now. I will hate you more after you post a metric shit-ton of you and the internet hanging out and having fun without me.
I may decide to like you all again come Monday. We shall see.
Exactly.
Ditto. Except the hate part, cuz I am very fond of you all. So I will just temporarily dislike you while your in NY partying it up and I...

Ooops
Unfollowr said 3 ppl unfollowed me, but the dialog box was gone before I could see just who and make sure I hadn’t unfollowed them cuz my #s haven’t changed at all. And I never used to worry about that before but now that Tumblr is being all wonky and unfollowing willy-nilly (that’s right, I said willy-nilly) it’s bugging me.
And breathe.

How many teachers does it take to turn on a...
Four apparently, with the help of the admin.
First thing in the morning is the craziest time for me. There’s so much going on. To make matters worse the AP keeps screwing up and I’ve had to re-do a letter for the 6th time (not kidding) when the science (yes, I said science) teacher comes to me in a panic, “We can’t get the copier to work! We’ve tried everything! It...

Truthful Tuesday - Mom Edition
16 has been giving us a run for our money lately (again). We sat her down to talk to her, her father and I, quite calmly I felt, and gave her an opportunity for explanations, excuses, whatever she needed…but we got nothing but untruths. Didn’t even punish her. Just told her what we expect from her and how things would be. And for once, her father was an actual participant. He...

Height thingy
I’m 5 foot seven.
And if I inherited my mother’s genes, I will be 5 feet even in 20 years :\
Truthful Tuesday
blondhousewife:
How about now?
I showed up in one of those pictures once. I sent @FormerPolice’s associates Vito and Rocco out to speak with the gentleman.
capsaholic:
Every time I see your ‘Tumblr Crushes’ I like you a little less.
Woo hoo! Ima crush! Ima crush!!
Oh sorry.
Manic Monday
Three different people told me I look great today!
To me that balances out twisting my ankle in an epic fall across the workroom (a la Sandy bullock in Miss Congenialty), shutting my finger in the car door (I am typing with a very elegant pinky finger sticking out to the side), and forgetting about a pot on the stove and nearly setting the house on fire (still coughing up toxic smoke).
(Shhh,...

~Martin Luther King, Jr
This was how I ended our school day Friday. Oddly enough as we were fininshing up the latest round of standardized testing. There were several teachers (of all races) that weren’t happy with this. I can only assume it was due to the fact that more and more of them are moving toward teaching our children to pass these tests, rather than just teaching our children.

Why in the world would I be able to log in to tumblr on IE but not Firefox this morning?
Everything was fine yesterday.
I hate IE.

Funniest Scene YET from Schmayberry High
The father of my freshman student who had missed 3 weeks of school right around Christmastime due to the birth of her baby, came in today to bring her Doctor’s Note to excuse her absences (I know, right!) and then indicated he was taking her out early “for this” as he tosses me another paper from the Dr along with a “and I’ll need a photostat” (who says THAT...

Things that Scare Me
When the English Teacher answers the phone with “Where you at?”
When I have to explain the basics (very basics) of Global Warming to the EARTH SCIENCE teacher.
When some date changing liar list says I should be an Aquarius and not a Pisces.
Also, Balloon animals.

NOT Sour Grapes...really
My boss, the current principal, told me something I just couldn’t believe this morning.
Our old principal, I used to mention him on twitter a lot…he was the old screw who literally never left his chair, nevermind his office, and passed all his work off on the rest of us while he played on his on-line dating sites, with his blackberry, and watched porn…anywho, he called her this...

I haven't got out of my bathrobe all day
Don’t get me wrong. I’m dressed. I’m just FREEZING, so I put it on over my clothes. Granted, I live in a big ol’ high-ceilinged drafty house, but something is not quite right. The heat is set to 64 degrees upstairs, and it’s balmy. Down here…67 and cold as all hell. I know, I know, “heat rises” blah blah blah. I still think somethings wrong.
Why...
