    Memories of the Month {3.2013}

    March 31, 2013 - By 

    This month I was happy about: Drew making Honor’s Band for next year. This month I was sad about: the Elton John concert cancelled 2 hours before the concert. Something I accomplished this month was: getting my bedroom clean and organized. Something new I did was: get an anti-biotic shot. Don’t think I’ve ever had one of those before. This year I’m going to rate the books & movies. Here’s my rating system: ♥ ♥ = Love it! A must read/see! ♥ = Really good! Highly recommend. ✓ ✓ = Good, not great ✓ = Not much to talk about…

    Duly Earned Award

    March 14, 2013 - By 

    Last week, Rob was honored to be given a much deserved “District Award of Merit” for all his hard work in scouts over all. Very proud of him! I was so excited to find out he won it, because I told him “Now you can resign all your district positions! Right?” Let’s face it. My hubs is a volunteer-a-holic!

    Wait…I know that kid!

    March 5, 2013 - By 

    A punch in the gut. That’s how I felt when I saw a headline on the front page of our local newspaper a couple weeks ago. I saw the picture. I saw the name. At first, it didn’t hit me and then it did. I know that kid! I taught that kid! And now…he’s just been indicted by the grand jury for capital murder and assault charges in connection with the deaths of two people last year. This is a kid who gave me so much trouble, when his mom forced him to come to school, which was only a…

    because I don’t want to forget….

    March 4, 2013 - By 

    On the way to take Alex from school to Rob’s work, he said, “Today I accidentally had a great example of cause and effect.” The cause was I spilled some chocolate milk on me. The effect was I smelled like sour milk. And another effect from it was that the janitor had to come mop up the floor.”

    Memories of the Month {2.2013}

    March 3, 2013 - By 

    Where is this year going?!? Really? How are we done with February already? So yah, I’m a little late posting this… This month I was happy about: because I have felt such a closeness to God lately…need to write about this. This month I was sad furious about: having people say they’re going to help with something, back out on me, and just leave me to do it without help. Something I accomplished this month was: eating healthier and going to the gym more regularly. Something new I did was: learned to use Google Fonts with a plugin to change…

    Library Story #7

    March 1, 2013 - By 

    Turkey Baaaster Ok, I have a work story for ya. It’s actually from back in January, but my student just reminded me about it. One of my student workers, Kelsey, was starting to read her textbook for her medical ethics class. She was in the introduction part of the book, where it referred to something about the unconventional use of the good ole turkey baster. Well, Kelsey had silently reread the sentence several times trying to make sense of the idea that the author was trying to convey. So she turns around and is like, “Ms. Lysha, what is a…
