Full Moon and Snow

Pretty much equals the worst combination for a teacher.

I've said it before and I'll say it again because I truly believe kids can predict the weather...and apparently lunar gravitational pull (haha I just made that up...but in all seriousness my students can predict it)

I think stories about werewolves aren't too far off...people seriously go crazy when there is a full moon. 

Then add a little snow in there, some barometric pressure falling, and BAM! 

{Not a fun day}

In Colorado we have a saying, "Wait five minutes and the weather will change!"  As annoying as that statement is, it's true.  The other day we started out with sunshine and blue skies. A beautiful day.  Then sometime after lunch my students started acting up. Not just the usual one or two, but the entire class. And it wasn't just my class, the entire school was a buzz with loud, restless behavior. Call me crazy, but an hour later there was snow on the ground.  See? Not so crazy huh?  

Someone should write a book called, Teaching Children Based on the Weather with a chapter on Children and Lunar Activity.  It would be a best seller. 

does this make me look fat?

Yesterday a certain someone (who shall remain nameless) asked if I was expecting a "Baby Wolfe"  They said this with their arms extended waaaay out in front of them, like unecessarily far in front of them, like I was carrying a pack of wolves in my belly.

I sort of stood there waiting and then realized they were being serious.

"Ummm, no.  Does it look like it?!"

"Well maybe it was the holidays...you know eating all that food!"

Oh. my. gosh.

If any of you know me I have the lowest self esteem of anyone. I already don't think very highly of the way I look...I know I know, I'm working on it.  But when someone you don't really know says that to you, what are you supposed to think?  Does it make it true?


I wish I had been brave and said something.  Instead, being my nice self, I laughed and said something like, "Hahaha well then I guess I won't be eating my lunch today and will go run a few miles on the track next door..."  I'm pathetic.

{Hmph}


poopy person (yes that is a five year old vocabulary word: poopy) 


I guess I'll go cuddle with my family because I know they love me even on my most unattractive day.

Fabulous and 30

It's my big sister's birthday today! 

She has accomplished more in 30 years than some people will accomplish in their entire lives.
By day she is Dr. Redente, a cancer fighting machine working towards a cure and by night she is the best biggest sister you could ask for (she's a pretty awesome big sister during the day too :). Having her in the same city as me makes me one lucky person...she takes such good care of me.  


Happy Birthday Elizabeth!!!
Have a very special day :)
