Yaaaaaay, it's Saaaaturdaaaay and it's oh so quiet...it's oh so still. Just me and the cats and some coffee and a computer and some paints. Planning a bachelorette party. Writing lesson plans for next week consisting of mainly art projects about Sukkot. Gonna try and get them writing this week, too. I have such a nice bunch of kids this year. Oh, and there's the...

Wow, I haven't been around since April. That's, like, 5 months. Shit, I moved to the beach (TWICE), got a new job (well, an old job, but it's new and improved and comes with more money and less bullshit!) , aaaand that's about it.

Today I was listening to Martin Denny's "Exotica" whilst prepping my awesome classroom for the year. We have :
A farmer's...

OMG!!




9 hours later: I've come back to watch this video like 6 times today. I don't know why it's so funny, but i can't stop laughing. I think it's the newlady's expression at the end. Same as mine.

Wow. Here's something that hasn't happened since I was a teenager: I did my homework! The paper is done! And it's not even due til tomorrow...

So, Dammit, I'm at work again. This happens every weekday, I hate it so much.

The baby is still sick. I'm going to request (again) that he go to the doctor. Then we'll see if I have the balls to say "In fact I'm not coming back until he goes to the doctor."
Shooting myself in the foot? Maybe. But this is fucked. He's miserable....

WELL FUCK THIS!!!

I am SO on the prowl for a new job, fuck those assholes! They don't trust me to take their kids to any beach that isn't craaawling with stupid fucking rich people, the bitch HID the bleach from me (Excuse me, YOUR kid pissed his bed, shouldn't it be disinfected?), and I'm so goddamned sick of being treated like a fucking babysitter....

It's 1:11. I made my wish.
Life's great. I just got over being really fucking sick, I'm glad that's over. 3 days of 102-104 degrees was uncomfortable to day the least. I missed 3 days of work, but I'm happy I still have a job. I went hiking in the Sequoias last week which is what a lot of those little red X's are about....

Dammit. How do I get my pictures out of Picassa, here?

Last night I was cooking in a cannibal's firey jungle pot, with torches and a waterfall and pygmies dancing around singing to the gods for such a delicious feast. Oh yeah. That was the BEST ever. And I wasn't on drugs, either.

How I love spring break, I wish it could be spring break forever and ever. Yesterday I walked for miles on the beach...

I'm skipping class tonight. It almost tickles. I'm REALLY looking forward to summer. I just found out that my spring break from school coincides perfectly with my family's spring break, which means they're leaving, which means if I can weasle out of getting the girls ready for school every morning, I can LEAVE TOWN for a week. OOOH!!!!!
Where should I go? I was...
