In a Nutshell

P1000381.JPG

1. I took this picture on the last day we were at Momma's house, whilst cousins and grandmas and mothers and fathers were gathered in the kitchen. I believe that this is the one time I have thought that snow was beautiful. Probably the last, too.

2.) America, explain the following to me: It's hard to be humble when you have a SHIH TZU. Hunh.

3.) At school today, I realized I have little control over my class. While we're lined up for the bathroom, anyway. How does one occupy the class, while another is taking his sweet time relieving himself after lunch? I mean, we can only go through the ASL alphabet so many times. SO. MANY. TIMES. After 30 minutes of fingerspelling, I'm considering asking them to take off their shoes and try with their toes.

4.) Although I was happy to leave for work today, when I got to school and saw my magic parking spot (I! WON! IT! and it's really not closer than any of the others), I experienced a sinking feeling that I've not noticed before. I'm starting to think that teaching isn't for me.

5.) Momma took me for a fabulous pedicure and manicure. For two hours! They massaged my feet. Those people should be automatically sainted. Nevermind the 30 minutes in and out jobbie that they do here.

6.) I hope your vacation was peaceful and tryptophanic.

7.) Is it June, yet?

Join the club... maybe it's the age. I'm starting to think that engineering isn't for me.

Yep. I'm starting to think this Stay-At-Home-Blogger thing isn't for me. :(

I think we all have days where we think whatever it is we're doing, isn't for us. It's not just you. Sometimes, I think typing isn't for me. Other days, I think getting out of bed isn't for me. It just comes and goes.

But still love you dearly.

That's a pretty picture even with the snow.

We all have days like that.

I wish it was June too.

3. Teach them kanji. Just think, Japanese kids only have to learn slightly under 2000 characters to read a newspaper. That's a LOT of bathroom breaks, and educational too.
