I got a flower!!

So tonight is the first night in two weeks that I am just going home. No after school meetings, no expectations, just me...an episode of Gilmore Girls, a few papers to grade and some laundry to wash.....wow just thinking about it is heaven. I think I'm getting old...and I think I'm fine with it. Home sweet home...

She's a BIG Girl!!

So, I'm a little proud of myself. Since I moved to Florida I have lost a grand total of 20 pounds. It makes me happy and thats all there is to it..and today I was feeling particularly svelt...when I was very justly put in my place.

Picture if you will me, in front of the class, drawing the sun on the white board to illustrate the earth's orbit around the sun. When one of my student who has gotten into the habit of calling me "Miss Beautiful". Asks, "Hey, can I call you Miss Sunshine?" To which another pipes up "Or Little Miss Sunshine?"
All of a sudden I hear a shocked--"NO WAY--She's not little!!!!"
Thats right - I am LARGE AND IN CHARGE BABY!!

So much for my skinny day!
I love teaching!
