Today was a working mommy’s dream day. I’m convinced that God is rewarding me for all my jumping exertions in church yesterday. Here’s why:
1. Hair goddess/next door neighbor N stopped by to chat and give Super L her birthday gift. She had the afternoon free. So did I. This never happens.
2. J.C. Penneys is currently [...]

The glory of 3-day weekends
The three day weekend can be overrated, but sometimes they are just what the body and soul need. Thursday’s school day was cut short due to sleet and a forecast that predicted more for the remainder of the day. Super L and I had a long and tedious drive home, but we arrived safely. I [...]

I am still here
I know that it is dangerous for a new blogger to be gone so long, lest I lose all my readers. But honestly, my life has been about nothing except for grading papers, driving in bad weather, sorting laundry, and a never ending supply of dishes. Don’t we all read each other’s blogs to get [...]

Super L, deux
So my “baby” turns two this week. We’ve already celebrated on Saturday with cake, ice cream, and an extended family who loves her. What more could a girl want? She received some pretty spring outfits. Actually, Aunt T and I picked out the exact same outfit. I must say, Aunt T has some darn cute [...]

The problem with research papers
I usually let the students choose their own topics because it must be a persuasive research paper, and I want them to pick something that they are interested in so that (hopefully) they’ll do a better job. I’m getting tired of reading papers about abortion and steriods. It makes for a tricky situation sometimes to [...]

Note to self…
Stop letting your students choose their own research paper topics.

Weekend redux
Well, my first week of blogging has come to an end. How did I do? Maybe they’re a bit too long, but really, are any of you who know me IRL surprised?
So, the week’s wrap up:
The lie in the Seven Minute Narrative: I never tried out for the women’s Olympic softball team. Most of my [...]

Feel good art… or the art of feeling good
I love art. This is one thing that I’m not sure a lot of my good friends know about me, because it’s an interest that I never had in high school. It started with my freshman humanities class at Millikin. My dad has always been great about exposing my brother and I to many different [...]

Penny wars and letters from school
A few days ago I mentioned that a young man at my school launched a fundraising campaign for Ugandan children. Three weeks ago we launched a penny war among the first hour classes. In our penny war, pennies, dollar bills (of any amount), and checks counted as a positive toward a class total, and silver [...]
