Fabulously Friday

I am quite excited about it being Friday. The only thing better would be if today was Saturday. It's been a long week full of meetings and other evening events. Today I walked into school and truthfully told a colleague I felt like I was 110 years old. Soooo... Instead of being productive during my prep hour, I am eating candy left from yesterday (I should never buy candy I like as a treat for students), reading, and posting to my blog. Someone should remind me of this as I complain this weekend about the school work I need to get done (or not).

April Book Connection
Today is the last day of the literacy challenge, so it will be the last day I leave an area to write about what I am reading. This morning I had two kids pick up the book that was sitting on my desk and tell me it was good. Since it comes recommended, I have decided to read it during lunch/my prep. It seems like it will be good. The prologue was quite intriguing. The prologue ends with an empty plane or at least empty of adults. "Thirty six seats on the plan, and every single one of them is full. Each seat contained a baby." As I type this is sounds hoaxy, but one should remember it's a YA book, Found by Margeret Peterson Haddix.

I will admit to stealing your "April Book Connection" idea for at least one of my really, really non-literacy related posts. Sorry. I am just now getting around to giving you credit for that.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Demolition

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars "Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything." I am going to school with a thank you/apology note in hand. Yesterday I was "caught red handed" making illegal copies on the staff copier. It's not like it's the first time I've done it. It's not like everyone doesn't do it. It's not like I feel sorry about making the copies The problem is that I was caught, completely "busted". I watched the copy police (lovely lady) walk into make a copy and knew she would see the copies I was making and be upset to quite upset. "Shit," I uttered as I was talking to the secretaries watching her walk into the room. According to the copy police I am banned from the staff copier. Maybe I'll try to follow the rules for the next week or two. An ea...
