Cussing Chickens

When I was like three or four I went to stay with my Aunt Sandy. She lived on a farm. And there were chickens.

When I would go and visit, I would always go into the chicken coop.

One day while I was in there, I apparantly did something to make the chickens mad. They chased me out of the chicken coop.

As the story has been retold to me I ran to my aunt and said, "Aunt Sanny, that schikem said a cuss word at me."

Now I don't actually remember what that schickem said to me that day. But I do know that I hate birds. Especially chickens.

Everytime my mother goes on a cruise she brings me back a chicken.

I'm not sure I will ever live down the story of that stupid cussing schikem.

(Good story right? Hahahahaha)

Stories Of A Substitute

It's days like today that are the reason why I have decided to go into teaching.

There was a certain something in the air today at school. Subbing today was very pleasant. I'm at a point now where I have built up relationships with some of the students, and where most of them know me pretty well. Well enough that we can joke with one another, but respectful enough that work gets done. Today was a good day of subbing.

Tonight was the teachers vs. students basketball game. Go Teachers! They won by the way.

I do a lot of observing, of students and teachers and their relationships with each other. A lot of the teachers I had when I was in high school (which was not that long ago) have retired, and a new younger group of educators have come in. Most of the teachers seem to mesh well together. They get along and enjoy being around each other. Which is very important to have in the work place. 

I have to say I'm impressed with the newer generation of teacher's at Mitchell High School.

It is for sure interesting to see all of this unfold. I'm loving it. 

So thank you God, for this awesome day that I had. It was much appreciated. 

Haircuts and Creepsters

My wonderful best friend cut my hair today. (Which looks amazing if I do say so myself.)

She found more grey hair today, and showed Jennifer.

It's legit. I'm turning grey.

On the way to school tonight I looked out the window to find some creepster old man, on his phone, staring at me. So.....I deered him. He just nodded his head at me, and I told Chris to speed up. Creepster.

Tonight I learned about Thomas Edison. I either forgot or didn't know that he invented motion pictures. Who knew?! Of course his films were silent because he was in fact deaf. Though if he had thought to use one of his earlier inventions, the phonograph, he would've had sound. Silly Edison.

When motion pictures with sound did come out, he said that they ruined the acting. You know, because in silent films you had to over act. Didn't have to over act when you had dialogue.

As I was standing in the parking lot waiting for Chris, I saw a giant rat. Like a for real rat. We tried to chase it down and get a picture, but the picture I got was far less impressive then the rat itself. It was the size of a raccon, but was most defiantly a rat. It was crazy.

I'm going to watch tonights Grey's Anatonmy and Private Practice now.

Procrastination+ADD=Fail

I am half way through my first semester back in school. Weird.

It seems to be going fairly well though. Sometimes I have a heavy week. Like this week. I'm preparing for two test, working on some sketches, and finishing up some projects. It's a lot for a procrastinator like myself.

I've spent the last 3 days attempting to clean and study, but failed. Instead I've been learning dances such as 'the stanky leg', 'the jerk', 'the running man/moonwalk', and how to 'walk it out'.

I think in order for me to get any thing done I have to be in a room with out windows or anything because the smallest thing distracts me. ADD. Yay!!!

I found another grey hair yesterday, but it was from my eye brow.

You know what is just awesome? Waking up to the song 'Let It Whip' by Dazz Band. You can't be angry and listen to that song. You just can't. It makes me giggle every time I listen to it. I mean really listening to any disco music in the morning makes it difficult to wake up angry.
