Sleep Stealer

It’s not like I’m an insomniac. Sleep is one of the three things I do really well. Actually, I don’t do those other two things very well anymore, so let’s just say it: Sleep may be my thing. But lately I find myself staring at the ceiling at indecent hours in the morning, wondering if

First Day; Also Karma

I go to work in about 90 minutes. It’s District Training this week, and there are things. Things to worry for. Not very many. But still. A list. Things to be Nervous About 1. What am I wearing? 2. My hair. It’s notorious for not cooperating. 3. Do I bring lunch? Will they let me

Schooling

It’s my turn. I’m taking an English class. See, remember how I got a job? Teaching English? And how I don’t actually hold a teaching degree? Or an English major? I’m totally on my way to remedying that. Also, I just spelled remedying correctly. First try. (Twice.) So I’m taking a British Literature class. Reading

I’m SO over the panic. Kind of.

So I’m rounding out my 6th week of “long-term” subbing, and it looks like I’m not through yet. Kid 1 said, “I’m kind of tired of you, Mom.” She said it with a whole lot of love. That’s kind of hard to translate to blogtalk. Trust me. It was a lot of love. [Tangent: A

Today’s things…

We went back to school today. Does that seem a little… sudden to anyone else? Yeah. Me, too. The Boy had a basketball game — 3rd grade league, coached by Husband. No keeping score. Except that our row (me, and his 3 older sisters) saw both of his awesome shots go in. And we cheered,

Things I Did Not Do While Substituting This Week

1. Write. Yeah, nothing. 2. Publicly mock. I threatened to, but it never happened. (As in, Dear Beginning Drama Classes, When you read your parts in these plays, don’t be lame. If you are lame, we will publicly mock you.) 3. Totally humiliate my Kid 1. Oh, wait. Yes. I did. Over and over, apparently.
