School if out for summer. Well it has been out for a week so I start summer school on Monday, which is good I miss the kids and need to get back to work.
Night Nurse and I continue to have an exceptional time in each other company. She came down to meet the kids and join... Read More
So I saw this clip on Facebook today and a thought struck me.Is it possible that this is the most famous rap in the history of rap. I know, that I know all the words, and I"m sure that I am not the inly one on here.
So I took last Thursday off, and my coworkers took the opportunity to schedule Health and Human Development (a.k.a. Sex Ed). Now this is fun for two reasons,
1. As the only male instructor in my department I automatically get to teach the boys.
A little redirection can work wonders on most kids, masterfully done. I can't decide if that day of the year would be more like hell or christmas because I can see how it would be terribly uncomfortable to teach that subject but the potential for great funny moments is huge.
What a fuckin' day!!! What a FUCKING week!!!! Except Thursday, Thursday was Nirvana, Utopia, and Comicon rolled into one beautiful day.
Just a clusterfuck, and add year end evaluations on top of that. Somebody throw me a goat and a ceremonial knife time to start negotiating with Odin to make the last 9 days of this year go smoothly lest I begins smashing... Read More
We're in the middle of school closings. They were supposed to open the options to the community to weigh in but when we went to the meeting ... it basically had already been determined and we were told that we had no option. Now all the special needs programs have to be relocated. Guess nobody told these idiots that changing something that drastic...is not wise given the circumstances with these kids.
. . .from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things. -Maurice Sendak
Sad today, Maurice Sendak died this morning.... Read More
So the birthday party went well, the younglings had a good time and the rain held off until 20 minutes after everyone had left the park. Obviously Odin enjoyed his sacrifice and put in the good word to whoever is in charge of those things.
Hardly feels like seven years, but all the evidence says it is. Seems like just yesterday I was... Read More
Lucky me I got to spend the day with my sister-in-law, who for the purposes of this blog I shall call.....drum roll....
The LIttle Black rain Cloud...
I was awoken this morning, my princesses BDay btw (keep that in mind it will be important later) at the crack of dawn by the lovely sound of the rain cloud blowing her nose... repeatedly...... Read More
my daughter dove under a grown mans arm and grabbed the last hardcover Mouse Guard book and then yelled that it was her birthday when he tried to convince her to give it to him
I think this is the most wonderful thing I have read in a long time
Attention immature girls who work in the room next to me, if you don't want to get in trouble, quit posting incriminating photos of you shirking your work on Facebook. You have no one to blame but yourself, yet we all hear... Read More
So the second date seemed to go well. Now the long wait begins, neither of us has intended to be doing any relationshiping during the next month, so she scheduled herself for the weekend shifts (she's a night nurse [also one of my favorite nearly unknown early 70s Marvel heroines]) and its the last month is of school so I"m am up to...

Still in a good mood.... date number 2 will be Saturday night, pushed it up rather then waiting until both of our schedules calm down after school ends in May. I"m going to take it as good sign that we are both willing to push up date #2, and that we are talking about June? Not sure what we are going to do... Read More
