I've got the DeMeij LOTR Symphony playing, and I just feel like I should be diving into the Silmarillion or something. Or reread the trilogy. Or the Hobbit. Or go out and buy The Children of Hurin like I've been meaning to for like 2 years since it first was released ( Read more... )

Because of our ice/snow storm this weekend, we lost some power at various times. It made for a little bit of a boring weekend, because obviously we didn't want to go putzing around on the roads. However, Aaron and I did go down to Olive Garden around 3:00 for "lupper" and tried the two new entrees. They were very good. We then went to B&N where ( Read more... )

Can't believe the month is done already (well, for all intents and purposes, it's done). Things have been very busy and work has gone pretty well.

I love three day weekends. We should have them all the time. I know tomorrow, people will already be counting down to Veteran's Day weekend. November is a tough month, between the superintendent's conference day and Veteran's Day weekend, P/T conferences and then Thanksgiving, it's like the kids are hardly in school at all. Somewhere here in ( Read more... )

Really was hoping not to open my eyes at least till 8:30, but here I am... I'm goign to pop back into bed for another couple hours on principal, even if I don't fall asleep again it's at least warm under the covers ( Read more... )

Today was definitely interesting. Started out okay, no major problems. Then during math, I had two kids slapping each other. Then I had one of my little girls take a backward tumble off a piece of playground equipment and hit the back of her head. Then I had another student have a bathroom accident on my rug right at bus time, and I ( Read more... )
