I am self-conscious about how I look.   I am even more self-conscious when I am not feeling well (or my house is like 90 degrees inside and moving the slightest makes me think I am dying), but since I am all by myself here, I have to go run my errands looking awful anyways.

I went to Walmart tonight after being away from Florida for over a month.  I heard my name screamed, had children running to me, and hugs from at least 8 families. So much joy in their faces just to see me.  

I spend much of my time trying to instill in my students self-worth that isn’t based looks or being perfect.  It is important to me to develop relationships with my students and their families and to let them know they are important and special to me.

Today, I got all that returned to me ten-fold.  And no one noticed how awful I looked, not even the parents who were also genuinely happy to see me.

I’m a very lucky gal.

Get a nightguard! I had the same problem until I got one about a year ago and it changed my life.

I had one, but it has gone missing.  I went to a couple of stores looking for one today, but no luck.  I ordered one off of amazon and it should be here Wednesday.   But until then….

I wish my teeth would stop grinding.  Because oh my word pain and cold sensitivity. 

Dear Lloyd, Please, PLEASE, let the a/c guy come tomorrow.

Hopefully a company can come fix my A/C tomorrow.   It will be about $1600.  I was told I should be good until October before I HAD to fix it.  But, no luck.   

In the meantime, if you’d like to buy something off my list and jump in on the fun you can find mine here.

Frick and Frack.

There are currently elementary, middle and high school English positions open in my district. If you are interested in moving to southwest Florida in the next two weeks or so shoot me message.

I feel at this point I have done enough traveling and observed enough rude people that I could and should write the definitive guide and rules to traveling etiquette.

All the dirty jokes from Romeo & Juliet explained ever.

Supervisor never called.  So I had my dad call.   Not only did I get the credit, he reduced my monthly bill by half.

Which is great, but he says basically the same things I do.

Sometimes I wonder if it is a male vs. female thing.

Today, one of the most important pieces of legislation for people with disabilities in the US turns 24. Authored by Senator Tom Harkin and signed into law by George H. W. Bush, the law provides many protections for people with disabilities. Primarily, it prevents discrimination based on disability like its ideological predecessor, the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Rights and visibility for the disabled on America still has a long way to go, but this law was a huge step forward for Americans.

The best part of living in Florida and not Ohio?  I never run into any of them.
