Truer words were never spoken.. I can hear a song... 70's era usually.. some 60's... and in my mind Im back where I was when I heard that song.... Some are good memories.. some not so good...

I am so tired of teachers complaining about lack of respect.. students not trying, parents not involved... not enough $... Well, this is the very reason. Crappy teachers too lazy to do their work. Supposedly there are now standard tests teachers must pass to be able to teach. Why isn't it followed up? This crap about no one helping the teachers.. well they work 9 months a year.. I would love to work 9 months a year.. and get paid for 12. But I ha

Ok.. I know that going to work on a Monday morning isn't everyone's idea of a gret time. However, after being off work for 2 weeks, unable to really accomplish anything... it is a good feeling to be going back to work.

It was about 5:20 a.m. today. I was getting dressed.. I kicked the cat's toy out of the way, and went to put on my jeants. For some asine reason my cat decided to come out of nowhere & attack it's toy. This action caused the following reaction: I was half in & half out of my jeans... I tried to dodge the cat, couldn't & fell catching my weight w/ my hands, and twi
