It's All Fun and Games

Until someone gets hurt.

Yep.

Fun.And.Games.

First goes Middle Chicklet.


Piece of cake.

Next up...Eldest Chicklet.


After the candidate for Mother of the Year (insert my picture HERE) stops hysterically laughing, it occurs to me that the Eldest Chicklet isn't moving her arm.

Hmmm...

Next step.

This is where we meet Captain Obvious.

Captain Obvious - "So you hurt your arm snowboarding down a playground?"

Eldest Chicklet - "Yes, ma'am."

Captain Obvious - "Well that was stupid."

REALLY?!

'Cause we didn't already KNOW THAT!

Thankfully, THIS

is not what happened.

More like THIS.



A "jammed" elbow.

To which I say, "How exactly do you jam an elbow, because I've never heard of that."

Captain Obvious, "(Insert eye roll and "Are you really that big of a dumbass" tone) Uh - just like you jam any other part of your body."

K. Thanks for the explanation.

Poor Chicklet.

At least she has ANOTHER snow day tomorrow to recuperate.

Every Monday Matters

Last week I started Every Monday Matters.

I wrote a letter of appreciation to someone in the military.

Not only did I do it, but I challenged my 52 fifth graders to do it.

Over HALF of them wrote letters!

I'm incredibly proud of them.

Our service this week..

Letting the support personnel at our school let them know how much they are appreciated.

Just today, I've witnessed kids walking up to custodians, look them in the eye, and tell them thank you for making our school a clean place in which to learn.

I'm humbled by the service I have already instilled in these children.

Who can you thank?

Sunday, Sunday

Sunday - already!

The weekends sure do go fast.

Countdown - 4 weeks until spring break.

***********************

This morning...

Baby Chicklet: "I think my contact fell out."

Hmmm...she's 5.

Obviously she's heard that around here more than once!

Let's Get It On

Let's Get It On...

Kicking off some of the SUCKIES off of American Idol!!!

I can't believe how many of both the guys and girls BOMBED it!!

I mean, I know you are nervous and all, but this is Your.Big.Chance.

Shake off the nerves and sing your heart out.

Of course, this IS coming from one of the worst singers on the planet. I think one of the reasons I like the auditions so much is I get to hear people who actually sing WORSE than I do!

I'm a sucker for a story. An easy way into my vote, I mean heart.

But, come on, peeps! We gotsta SING!!
