Weird and Uncomfortable

Part of tonight's staff meeting talked about the stress of the upcoming MCA tests. I'm not sure of the correlation or how it was introduced, but we were shown a video (notice I am only giving the link to the video and not posting it). It was weird to quite weird and uncomfortable to quite uncomfortable. The good news is that it gave me an idea for today's image. Several years ago I took a picture of an opossum on my dad's deck. Plus as I googled opossum, I found a picture that we were shown at tonight's staff meeting after the video letting us know that massaging an opossum is dangerous. Do you think I could make this stuff up? Did I mention weird and uncomfortable?

Tonight I give thanks for...
1) leaving a workshop with ideas even though the workshop was BAD
2) last day in the computer lab went well
3) conversation with C

That is unbelievably bizarre! I don't even know what to say about it. I think your principal and my principal must be pals? They seem to have similar meeting-planning skillz.

In fairness to my principal, I think it was an attempt (although a bizarre attempt) at bringing levity at a time when many teachers (including myself) are stressed out about the upcoming "testing season".

That opossum is sort of a good mascot for the MCA test.

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...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
