it can't be

guess what time of year it is? 


I swear, it can't be here already.

Here's my financial tip for the day, if you ever want to buy a notebook, crayons, markers, or other school/office supplies, whether you are a teacher or not, you should buy them like you are a freakin' hoarder in August because this stuff is cheap baby.

mo money mo problems

This is what it looks like when Biff tries to tell me to stop blogging and take him for a walk.
I try to remind him that it's 90 degrees out and he will just lay down in the shade after a while and pant for at least a half an hour following it, but he just doesn't understand reasoning and logic?



Whatever happened to cooking for two tuesdays? Nobody knows.  My computer has a few files with pics of dinners waiting to be shared, but somehow it just never happens.  So what does any good procrastinator do when in the middle of a project and you have been stalled? Obviously, any good procrastinator knows you should start a new project.  Am I right?

So, a new feature/theme is about to enter this blog.

Wait. For. It....


Finance.


And it will be fun. shockingly. mostly just little anecdotes about funny experiences related to budgeting, reading a plethora of finance novels, and some pretty common sense crap that you should already know like: don't spend money you don't have. you know really deep stuff like that. maybe even some Suze Orman. Where did those capitals come from? I thought they were on strike for this paragraph? Weird!

Did you know I almost changed my major from elementary education to accounting at the last second, but somehow I decided against the change.  It was a close call, that one.  Sometimes I dream of crunching numbers all day in a cubicle while actually secretly playing tetris a la Office Space, but then I realize there wouldn't be any ten year olds to say really awesome things to me like,

"It looks like you had a hole in your skirt and tried to sew it up yourself?" (maybe because I did)

or

"What is that on your chin?" (a pimple)

or

"I think you should bring Biff to school." (me too)

or

"What is a romantic movie to go see in the theater" (What?! Why?!)


Needless to say I love my job.   And I am not an expert on money, but for some reason I feel like telling you some funny stories about money, lattes, living in trailers, and fire dancers. It will all make sense later.  I'm just trying to reel you in.

weekdays

"something you do every day"


I don't teach every day, but I don't do much every day besides eat and sleep. I run a lot, but I take rest days. 

What do you do every day?

you

I am behind so I am going to have to post twice today. Yikes!
This is for yesterday... a picture of you.

I drew this self portrait while I was teaching my students how to draw their own. I should probably become a professional art teacher instead of an elementary teacher who has to teach art sometimes because that drawing is pretty much an exact likeness, right?

soldiering on

Some of you or your children finished out the school year this week.


In case you're wondering...


I'm still here.


Until July, 1.


Grading these


and recording these


and shamefully drinking one of these


Don't tell my dentist!
