Clear your brain

Warning: This blog will not make much sense because this is how my brain works. You're welcome to feel sorry for my sixth graders because my teaching is probably all over the place as well. We switch topics in under 10 seconds. Transitions are the name of the game. Keep up people. I like to go fast.

1) What happens to kids after spring break? The whole "Wait until after spring break" quote definitely applies. My sixth graders have morphed into 7th graders. Maybe it's because they are no longer at that sweet age of 11 but moody and hormonal 12.

My usual mantra....

"Please come to my class with a positive attitude. I want you rockin' and a rollin' all day in my room today. It also helps to be prepared. No you can't write with a map color. Oh by the way leave that cell phone in your locker because I am a "pro secret texter myself" and while you're in the hallway leave that 12th year of your life in your locker as well. It's a moody year anyways."

2) Modern Family= Tomorrow night

3) Randy starts basketball tomorrow night at 10pm. I'm such a night owl (whoo whoo) Chatting with the wives in the stands is my weekly highlight.

4) My mom's new puppy has huge ears. She's a walking satellite.














Poor little thing. Don't worry Molly. Mopac has them too. You'll grow into them. You keep embracing that ugly duckling look for now. Not too much longer you'll be that swan like my baby girl Mopac.


5) 41 school days until summer

6) Our flowers are NOT growing. I'm so tired of hearing this whole "be patient thing." Let's just rip them out and start again. They are dead and ugly (and cheap too, gosh).

7) Blog statistics: This is my 37th post, and I have 13 followers. Go me! Love it!

8)I love all the bluebonnets, and all the crazy families that risk their child's life to get that infamous Texas bluebonnet photo for G-ma. Please be aware that your flashers are not enough. Pull off into the ditch (not the shoulder) or find a park. Even though it's dangerous, it's a must. Randy gets mildly irritated about the bluebonnet photo tradition. "It's so stupid. Why do you have to have that picture? It's not like you're going to put it in a frame and display it all year. We're not doing that when we have kids."

FYI: We will be displaying that photo year-round, and yes our kids and Mopac will give us their cheesiest grins while wearing blue outfits. Oh ya blue outfits and blue flowers. He'll get over it. But can we get a "toot toot" for him mentioning the "k" word?

9) Bedtime....only 4 hours of sleep thanks to america's past time.

10) P.S. It kills me to end a list on number 9....so goodnight:)
