Can you tell what this is?? OK, I’ll tell you…they are sunglasses. More specifically, Steve’s sunglasses. Apparently I broke them. I don’t remember breaking them but he said I did. One day after I drove the jeep I pulled the emergency brake to park. I guess the sunglasses were under the brake and I crushed […]
The other day my mom asked me whether or not the baby was getting enough folic acid. (This was before I had the baby.) I said yes and told her that I took folic acid pills everyday. She actually meant the “other” baby, you know, James. James was sitting at the table eating lunch at the […]
Here are some books that I read that truthfully helped me with teaching. If you are an educator of any sort, I believe these books will help.
Educating Esme By Esme Raji Codell, Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill 2001.
What Great Teachers Do Differently By Todd Whitaker, Eye On Education Inc. 2004.
Dealing With Difficult Parents […]
This morning, the boys and I decided to try something new. Usually Thursday mornings are reserved for storytime at the Northeast Library in Wilmington but today we went to the first meeting of Stroller Strides. Stroller Strides is a total fitness program for moms and their babies.
Around 10:00 about twenty moms and one dad got […]
….After leaving UNC Chapel Hill in 2001, I have completed nine college courses. Five of them were through UNC, either correspondence or online, three of them were through UNC Wilmington, and the last one was through the University of Texas at Austin (online.) Nine courses in seven years…not too bad. Taking distance courses requires a lot […]
Zen teaching:
“Do not grasp another’s bow; do not ride another’s horse; do not meddle in another’s affairs.” Though this is a commonplace saying, it can also be sustenance for entering the Path. Just examine yourself constantly: from morning to night, what do you do to help others and help yourself? If you notice even the […]
Last Wednesday, early morning, around 1:30 AM, I woke up with excruciating back pain. I didn’t think I was in labor, I thought I had a kidney stone or something. I got out of bed and started pacing and holding my back. It was pretty painful. I didn’t hesitate to call the doctor. I told Steve to get […]
Steph received sunflowers as a gift for having a baby. I must say, sunflowers are so awesome. They really are a “happy” flower. You cannot look at sunflowers and remain angry or mad. Once, while driving through Kansas, I had to stop the car and gaze in amazement at the 7 foot tall sunflowers! They […]
Well, my brother-in-law Jay called tonight. He received his Cooper’s Micro Brew kit in the mail today. How exciting! He already made his first batch. Of course, compared to my Mr. Beer’s 2 1/2 gallons of beer, his Cooper’s will make 6 gallons. Let’s look at this in a really good way, that’s 8 1/2 gallons […]
To all of my loyal readers…I AM DONE!!
Last year, after taking French 1 and French 2 at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW), I started searching for a French 3 course. You see, I was a visiting student at UNCW and I took the classes over the summer. I was unable to take […]
