#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 17: TIME FOR REFLECTIONI don’t like changing the clocks. I don’t care if it’s spring forward or fall backwards, it makes me a little nuts. Fall back always sounds good, that extra hour of sleep blah, blah, blah. Are you kidding? I’ve laid in bed for an hour every morning this week waiting … Continue reading TIME FOR REFLECTION
#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 16: BOMB DIGGITY DOT COMI’m seldom up to date on the latest slang. I’ll often say a word that has a legitimate definition only to receive a laugh from my students. “Mrs. Selby! That’s not what that means!” For example: chill used to mean what you do to cookie dough before rolling it … Continue reading BOMB DIGGITY DOT COM
#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 15: COSTLY COMFORTWalmart pickup changed my life. I hate shopping for anything, but especially groceries. I don’t cook and I find no enjoyment in perusing grocery store shelves for something new to try. I messed up and didn’t place my Walmart pickup order last week. God help me, I do this about once … Continue reading COSTLY COMFORT
#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 14: MASS HYSTERIAI’ve been told by the man I treasure the most on this earth that I have no sympathy for him when he’s sick. He’s right. I’m shameless about it. But ladies, back me up here. Childbirth, mastitis, backaches, headaches, flu… we keep trucking. A man gets a cold and dang near … Continue reading MASS HYSTERIA

#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 11: THE TEAM BEHIND THE TEAMYesterday was the last conference game for the football season. That means it was Senior Night. There is always an air of excitement on game day. The players walk proudly down the hallways wearing their game jersey. They pop their heads into my classroom and ask, “What are … Continue reading THE TEAM BEHIND THE TEAM
#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 10: BURIED IN THE BUNDLEThe seniors got their graduation packets this week. The representatives met with them in the library and sent them out with a big envelope full of beautiful samples and catalogues so they can order everything they need to graduate from high school. There is “Class of 2023” clothing and … Continue reading BURIED IN THE BUNDLE
#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 9: TEMPERATE TEA I don’t drink iced tea very often but I do like ice in my tea everyday. My answer to “tea or coffee?” is tea. I started having a daily “cuppa” when I lived in Wales. Coffee was an adult drink to us and tea was similar. When we were immersed … Continue reading TEMPERATE TEA
#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 7: KEYLESS AND CLUELESSI got totally brain-shamed today and I totally deserved it. We finally got a keyless entry at work! We don’t even have to swipe that sucker; just hold it up to the little wifi emoji and beep beep beep - you’re in. The morning entry can be tricky to say … Continue reading KEYLESS AND CLUELESS
#thirtydaysofthanks #thirtydaysofgivingDAY 6: TOWEL TOWER OF TERRORThere are two kinds of bath towels in my house. The ones that are folded and the ones that are folded the right way. My husband and I have five sons. For me, three of them came already trained. They were teenagers when Doug and I got married and … Continue reading TOWEL TOWER OF TERROR
