The third grade teacher next door to me came into my room after dismissal and asked if I had heard a noise. I told her that I hadn't and she said a deer had just crashed into her classroom window. Her room is in the middle of the building. It's not even on an end. I said, "WHAT?!" She told me she was sitting at her desk when something hit her ( Read more... )

I had a conversation with a pint of ice cream when I got home today ( Read more... )

I felt like ten shades of crap yesterday. Headache, chills, my bones ached, and I surely had a fever. This morning I took my temperature and it was a little over 100 degrees. The headache was better but whenever I got out of bed, I would get really cold. So I stayed in bed all day, watching way too many episodes of The OC until I ended up ( Read more... )

I missed an excellent photo opportunity this afternoon which annoyed me. I hit up the Burger King across the street from school (I had to stay at school until 8pm tonight for the 2nd grade Reconciliation prayer service) for dinner.

McGee freaked out early this afternoon as I was going downstairs. I heard him squawking and flapping around his cage, which is what he does when there's something outside the window. I reached the bottom of the steps as a hawk ( (here's a picture of what the hawk looked like. It's big as I didn't feel like resizing it) )

I sometimes really feel like Dr. Doolittle or Marty Stouffer from Wild America or that guy who wrote All Creatures Great and Small. I'm typically saving frogs from Death By My Father but today I added a new creature to the list of rescues.

I'm sitting on my bed watching Undeclared when I hear my mom yelling for me to come and see something. So I ( Read more... )

A large vulture landed on the road in front of my car while going to work this morning. Stupid thing at least had enough smarts to realize that the big silvery-gray thing barrelling toward him wasn't going to stop and he managed to fly out of my way about two seconds before I would've hit him. Then his buddies in the field next to the road would' ( Read more... )
