I took you gals to the ball park at least once. I confess, I do love the game of baseball. So I’m sittin’ watching the New York Mets face off with the Philadelphia Phillies. I was born in Pennsylvania, so I’m rooting for the Phillies. I’m enjoying a quiet and relaxing Saturday afternoon. I just…
I’m going to a benefit concert tonight. My school district has an education foundation in which kids who graduate from our district can get money for college when they graduate high school. This is the criteria: students must maintain a 2.5 grade average through high school and have little to no absences from school. They…
The benefit went really well. We were introduced to college freshman who were benefiting from our scholarship. This was very inspiring! And I was wrong. The prize includes tuition AND books. Wow! What a great start to give kids who try their best! The venue was gorgeous! It hugged the mountains of your town and…
They are out there. The people who really “get” you. You probably know a few of them. Stick close to these people. They keep you sane. They help you keep things in perspective.
Everyone says it’s tough. We gals just drown in our emotions. Take it one day at a time. And when all else fails, listen to the writer of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling… So ask yourself – “What would Hermione do?” She does seem to know exactly the right move every time. Must be…
I have students in my class reading this now, so I’d better give them something good tonight. Here on sketchyscribe.com, we try to stay uber positive. And what better way than to bring in a bit of Harry Potter. I did buy the newest book but I have not had a chance to start it…
Funny Story: On Facebook, I asked to “friend” this teacher at my school. We’ll call her Anna. I joined her gym because she lost all kinds of weight. I was impressed. But she never seemed very happy to see me there. I persisted. I “liked” stuff she “liked” on Facebook – not because I was…
I’m kinda sleepy tonight. It was a rough day today. I had to growl a lot. I don’t like having to do that. The nice teacher just isn’t getting the job done. My posts tonight are about finding that inner self love. In order to do that, you’ve gotta forgive yourself when you are human….
Really good day today. The kids are starting to get used to the way I do things. I even introduced them to my gypsy lady character today: Broomhilda. She’s a crack up. She walks around the classroom with her crystal ball ( my class globe) making predictions about the kids’ futures. The kids love her….
I dreamed about you both again this morning. In the dream, your parents were having a wedding ceremony. You were both bridesmaids. And I was helping you both with your dresses. We got to hold hands for several minutes. Bea started to cry. I reminded her that we were together right now and how glad…
