I got a call this weekend that I won a door prize from Borders, from last weekend’s “Educator’s Appreciation Day”. We picked it up today. It was a “gift pack” containing: a sandbucket and shovel a coupon for a free tai chai intro? a brazilian cd sampler some tissue paper (wrapped still) a $10 borders […]

Eternal Sunshine
I almost forgot: we saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind yesterday.It was awesome. I highly recommend it. It’s a little out of the ordinary and requires you to think out of the normal movie boundaries somewhat.
April 1st
It’s April Fool’s Day. I’m not sure if any of my kids will even know that, much less, have the “holiday spirit” to try anything. That would require effort and planning. This is also my 4 year anniversary of moving to North Carolina. As I reflect back, I’m amazed at how things have sure changed. […]

Teamwork! We watched a little March Madness and then decided to make lasagna. Just around the time we were […]

The kids were CRAZY today — across the board. While I was in my middle school class, I saw the K-5 teachers aid chasing a giggling girl as she tore by the classroom. I laughed, not realizing that shortly thereafter, I’d run into my own problems. The middle school kids were crazy. The high school […]
Finally Friday, I’m Free Again…
…Got my motor runnin’ for a wild weekend!! Ok, not really WILD. But, I’m heading to Raleigh to hang with the newly relocated SarahPowers. And, to attend the wedding of Rachel Whitesell and Stan Pittman.
