Guess What?
You Are a Moderate Mama |
 You're not overly political, and your views fall more with the American mainstream. In fact, it may be difficult for you to decide who to vote for at times! Your approach to politics is reasoned and well though out. |
I think that about sums it up! And look, I am cute too!

Two Kinds of People
One thing that I have learned today in my meeting: There are people who work to live and people who live to work and the two are COMPLETELY different! I have discovered (okay I already knew) I am a live to work person. I don't get knit picky with technicalities, minutes and seconds, and with the small details of life. Oh my, There are people who I work with that are work to live-ers. They have to have everything down to the detail, the minute and second, and spelled out exactly clear as a bell. It is really driving me crazy!
Case and point: for the past 3 years Mr. Brandt and I have worked together HERE, with the same rules. If a child has been here 5 days or more we give them a grade on their report card. So today, Brad says if a child has been here 5 days then give him a grade. Then Mr. Brandt says is that five or more give him a grade or if 5 or fewer no grade? Now the technicality here is the kid who has been here 5 days exactly. To give a grade or not to give a grade that is the real question. On the report card there is a comment that we can choose that says "no grade given, student enrolled 5 or fewer days", which means if he has been here 5 days then you don't have to give a grade. But, oh you see the issue here, I don't have to define it further!
Now, I say,we have always given them a grade at day 5 so if they are here on day 5 give them a grade, day 4 no grade. This is what we have been doing last year and the year before. It hasn't changed. Why argue the point? It just wastes time and makes me frustrated!!! ERRGG!

Ever have a day where you just can't get going?
Well, that is me today. I can't seem to get moving. I got up, had two cups of coffee, surfed the net, made and ate lunch, moved on to cold caffene, and ate a candy bar. All I have is blurry eyes and a tired butt from sitting. So what do I do, work on my chair adjustments so it is more comfortable. Oh yeah, I am at work supposed to be working.
Nothing is getting done.
On another note about midnight last night Caroline posed this question to me. "Mommy, did you know that sharks wiggle when they sleep? Why do you think they do that?"
Anyone know the answer? I told her in my tired state of half sleep I was in that it was because they didn't want any other sharks or other animals who might eat sharks to think that they were asleep so when they wiggle it makes them look like they are awake so no one will eat them.
But not that I think about it, what other animals eat sharks? Now I am getting a headache.

The Olympics in Legos
Even though I want to update my blog with more puppy pictures I thought you all would enjoy this site more.
http://www.anewmorning.com/2008/08/13/beiging-olympics-lego-style/
It is pretty impressive!!! But check out the shot where you can see the swimmers and look for the guy with the machine gun.
Wonder where this is. I would love to see it up close.

Welcome Annabelle!
Say hello to our newest member of the family.
This is Annabelle! She is 7 weeks old and a Golden Retriever.
Isn't she cute???
Update on work
Well, I can forgive but I can't forget. That is the motto of the month. I am so not a collector of memories of wrongs committed against me. I move on quickly from events that are hurtful or that anger me. So with that I find myself going back to the same friendly conversation and such with these horrible people who I have to call co-workers. Jennifer Warren, remember her??? Well she has been trying to befriend me again and making fun chit chat and such. Mrs. Bomba, the one who had to consult others if she could go out with us for lunch last year and they said she couldn't go with us has decided to grow up a bit and is now making her own decisions and is trying to hang out with me more and wants to include me more in the lunches, etc. I keep her at arms' length but have obliged her and accepted her invitation to eat with her.
I had a conversation earlier this week with Brad our principal and he was talking about having a conversation with the staff about negative talk about each other and to each other as well as gossiping. So with that conversation I wanted to keep a bit of distance with the others before this talk we will get either next week or the week after. I just don't want to be associated with those who actively do this on a regular basis. So I have been eating in my room and not really talking much to others, which is fine with me anyway. When I eat with the group I usually end up with a belly ache or head ache from having to hear Mr. Levy, know everything about everything and complain and exagerate about everything too. Oh my, just gives me a headache thinking about it.
So that is my work update. I do have to say, Joel Hughes the PE teacher has been particularly nice to me recently which is a bit odd because he was the one who yelled at me last year because I was saying good morning to him every day last year. I am cordial but again, arm's length!!!
