OcotoPhoMo 18
I’m way behind on reading and posting. Here’s a couple of pictures, this is what I have been coming home to every day lately. Luna has discovered that pulling the movies out is fun for some reaso...
OctoPhoMo 13
Today was the opening of the PowWow. It’s the 40th anniversary of official recognition as a tribe, and Cbaby is the Tribal Princess. (She’s been Junior Princess for the past few years.) Because o...
OctoPhoMo 10
It’s better than a sharp stick in the eye! I’ve heard that from my dad all my life. Well, today I found out how true that was. lol I was standing on duty at recess. I turned to look at some kids...
OctoPhoMo 9
All those things I didn’t do yesterday - yeah - I’ve got to do them tonight. Papers to be graded. It’s always “fun” because the cats have to lay on the papers, chew on the pens, and at times, che...
OctoPhoMo Day 8
One of today’s prompts is shadow. I don’t know if this one fits, but I love the play of the light and shadow. It’s been a perfectly lazy day. I did have a few things I needed to get done- and I ...
OctoPho 7
So I haven’t been very good at posting daily. :) So I’m making up by posting a couple of pictures today. I spent the day at my parents, solving technical issues, helping with some just odd and en...
OctoPhoMo Day 4
It was a long day today. I should have had some free time. Today was DARE in my room. (The DARE officer comes to the room and teaches all 3 classes. Today it was in my room. So, I should have had...
OctoPhoMo Day 3
I’m off topic today, but a full day of school and staying after to get things ready don’t lend themselves to taking pics. lol So I’m sharing one of Luna Marie (Marie is Cbaby’s middle name and I ...
OctoPhoMo Day 2
Today is potions and this is the potion of the day, because it’s been that sort of day.
OctoPhoMo Day 1
I think kids were one of the prompts today. So I’m sharing my Bella-Bug. She was just chilling in her car seat with her pup. (Who is the most patient pup ever. She drug that poor thing all over t...
The Day
It feels like it’s been a long week, and it’s only Tuesday. Yesterday was horrible. I was exhausted and the kids were…nuts. (They’re a little like lions, they sense the weakness and go for the j...
Catching Up
First, thank y’all for the sweet words on my last entry. We’ve found out that my former student was the passenger in a car that was hit head-on by a log truck that crossed the center line. The dr...
Can't Find Pollyanna
*I typed this entry up last night, but it apparently vanished. :( I’ve always been a person who tries to find the best in everyone and every situation. I truly believe, if given the chance, most ...
Good-bye and Hello
So it looks like I may have dealt a death blow to my old sturdy little mower after all. So, may parents generously funded the purchase of a new one. (Repayment rates are much easier to parents th...
Poor Stella
I’m a terrible kitty mom. I was later getting home that expected because I had to run by and get boxes of Total cereal for science tomorrow (the kids designed experiments to see if the iron in th...
Well, I think I really did it this time
I was mowing the yard (after weeks of rain, we have several days of sun!) I was mowing in an area that I have many times before. There’s the remnants of a landscape timber across the yard. It’s w...
Harvey and Fire Truck
Harvey is supposed to be paying a visit in the next 24 hours or so. We should really only get a glancing blow, nothing like what they’re getting in Texas. They’re saying around 8 inches in rain. ...
Just a wee little friend
We actually had a sunny day today, with no rain (well, a shower popped up this evening), but it was sunny all day. It was also HOT. I was going to mow early, but the mower wouldn’t start. So I tr...
Rain...again
Around here it seems to be feast or famine. We are either going weeks without rain or like now - rain daily. Some days it’s heavy and storms, others it’s off an on showers. When it’s not raining ...
Day 1 and Projectile Vomit
Actually, the projectile vomit occurred the day before day 1. Without getting too detailed on the info, I got trapped in a bathroom stall by a co-worker’s projectile stomach issues. I actually ha...
Almost There
I’m still not completely finished. I’m going up today to finish my library, which is the biggest job I have left, but it’s come a long way from that anxiety inducing view of everything piled in t...
Where Did the Time Go?
I went school clothes shopping with my mom and Cbaby. I will say, shopping with Cbaby is so much easier than with Tootie. Cbaby is about getting it done. Tootie would shop in 10 store and then go...
Another Day
The work in my classroom continues. I’ve got pretty much everything put away, other than things that hang on the wall. It always takes time after painting to get those to stay on the wall. For th...
Ah, That's Better
The room certainly isn’t finished, but it’s better. It at least looks like a classroom! lol This one is from the same angle as the one yesterday: And just a couple of other views. You can see s...
And So it Begins!
We were able to get up to school today. (There was a parking lot full of us up there! lol) It’s always a lot of work to put the room back together, but it was even worse this year, because they p...
Book Description
I’ve been on OD for 12 or 13 years (or longer). I don’t want to jump ship, but I don’t want to lose my friends, either. This place is no OD, but it’s a safe spot at least.
