I am very ugly, Even if you wear ten sun glasses I would still look ugly.

My cousin is 75 now, shortest in the family and the toughest. She retired as the Dean of the most unruly college here in Chennai India. All her students treated her with great respect. English Literature was her subject.

Your page is so feminine and incredibly beautiful, one more bouquet (copied the spelling from your page)

I guess that is what happens when you take two months off. You have to retrain yourself.

Yes, here in Illinois, school starts I think the week of the 28th. And we will also graduate before June 1st. Can’t wait for school to start, as it might cut down on the young kids hanging around uptown–up to no good no doubt.(you can tell we don’t have kids–or at least my sons are older–Stephen just got back from overseas)
So I’m just dropping a line courtesy of my brother and sister-in-law, Dr. John and his wife Betty. Have you checked out my Little Orleans blog spot yet??
I’ve been posting vacation tales here this last week–pictures too.
Have fun getting ready for school, have a good day!!

If you’ve been teaching for ten whole years, it’s a wonder your brains aren’t shredded completely. Don’t know how you do it.

I love the style with which you share your frustrations… it always makes me laugh. Gotta have a sense of humor, right? lol

Michigan passed a law that says that school won’t start until after Labor Day – so my little sister doesn’t go back until about Sept 5th or 6th. The governor is hoping that this’ll allow families to enjoy the holiday more easily and boost tourism revenue. I wish they’d done it when I was in school!

Anyway – I hope this year is a great one. Have a nice weekend, too!

LOL! I’m soooooooo glad I don’t have THAT part of the job! Actually… there are sO many parts of your job I DON’T want! But then again… on RARE occassions… I do sometimes wish I had my own class. Usually I get over it as soon as I eat something though!

The good side to this is that she listened to you. I am also short and remember the same problem. I had a student from the sixth grade come and help she was taller than I am.
I liked the beginning of a new year.

It was only the first day. Be kind to yourself as you get back into the swing of things.

Detailed instructions are always best.

Kids: there is a dead bird outside the yard by the fence.

Gordon: I’ll come out and move it after we’re done here. Don’t touch the bird. Don’t poke it with a stick. Don’t throw anything at the bird. Don’t take the dogs over there to see if they would eat it. Don’t bury the bird. Leave. It. Alone.

Gordon, 5 minutes later coming in from outside, disgusted: They’ve been pouring water on it.

Back to school, I never thought about teachers having to go back early to set up class.

You were lucky to have the help, some kids love to be with their teachers.

Have a good friday, in twenty four hours you will have your weekend.
