Whenever I realize I hate myself, I make myself feel even worse for destroying other people with my own self-loathing.

In case you've forgotten that I teach toddlers:
A two year old requested a tissue today, blew his nose several times, examined the tissue, and proclaimed "ew!" (side note: if something makes a two year old say "ew", it's bad). While I was telling him to put it in the trash can, he says "here!" and shoves it in my hand, "ew" side down.
I'm...

I'm so excited to meet the little guys (and girls)... most of them will be brand new to the school. I really hope I don't have many hitters, biters, etc. I know it's inevitable with toddlers, but with infants in the room too, it's more difficult to do damage control after someone's been hit.
I also hope I...

Those apples also go great just drizzled in honey and melted chocolate.

Maybe it's time for a new blog
I am in the process of being hired on full-time at the school... I know the classroom I'm assigned to and the name of my lead teacher (though I don't actually know her, since she was just hired on), but I haven't signed anything or turned in my transcript yet so there's a chance it could fall through,...

Then you're already on google+ you silly goose. That was my invite link.

actually I like my criminal cases (and clients) far better than my divorce clients.
Defense work is fairly misunderstood and misportrayed in popular culture. It's less about finding "loopholes" and getting the guilty "off" and more about making sure the State can meet it's burden and if so, minimizing the damages.

The downside of being hypercritical of everyone else is that I am even more so of myself. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I really dislike who I am as a person. The issue is that I frequently find myself enumerating the reasons I really don't deserve to live. I won't recount even a partial list here, for several reasons, but I am...

Quand vous blog en Francais il est difficile pour mois troplu. Si vous le faites a nouveau veuillez certaines images donc je sais pas ce qui se passait.
I was remembered today!
A two year old (technically 31 month old) recognized me today after having not seen me for 7 months. Which is nearly a quarter of her life, for reference. Of course, professionals do NOT have favorite children, and I certainly love them all equally... *cough*. Some children are more equal than others.
She would always call me "mami" because our real...

Well Played!

Chicago is a great place to play, anytime.
If y'all decide to give it a go, let me know, I bought my tix today, and am seriously excited - - in case you couldn't tell . . .

I really really love both my jobs. Working with kids is the best thing I've ever done, and my coworkers are amazing at both jobs. I don't think there's a better feeling than when I was in a classroom with a child who had already been (in my humble opinion mis-) labeled at age 3 as difficult and a behavior issue, who listened to me,...

Those are awfully heavy labels to hang on a three year old, but otherwise - -
congrats & a heartfelt pat on the back.

here are a couple more for everyone.

They suit you perfectly.
I have my first teaching job!!!
On call substitute for the program I've been volunteering at. They hired me on the spot at the interview, since I had glowing recommendations from the volunteer coordinator
So it's not super glamorous or anything, and I'm still in retail for a while longer also, but I'm going to get paid for doing basically what I've been doing for...

I really dig the second of your three profile pics (is it time for a change?)!!!

I totally get it! That's kind of the reason that I don't talk about myself much, but also I've always been private and guarded. I'm not the life of the party but can engage in conversation for hours in a private corner.
You are loved and adored....never forget that
