I Love a Good Break!

11/25/2005

Yes! This weekend has ruled! On Tuesday, we had lots of fun events at school including the student vs. staff volleyball game and the turkey trot (kids race the 880). Those are loads of fun and it’s fun to send the students off for a good long break. Not to mention sending MYSELF off to Read More

Friday, I Mean Thursday

06/09/2005

I hate it when it’s a Thursday and it feels like a Friday and yet it’s still only THURSDAY! Grrr… My throat has hurt since last Friday and now it hurts to swallow. One side of my tonsils is swollen and it hurts. I called the doctor and they told me to drink lots of Read More

Grrrrrrr…

06/08/2005

I’ve been sick since Friday afternoon and, darnit, I’m sick of being sick! It’s one of those stupid head-cold things that makes your throat hurt and your sinuses clog and your general awareness of what is happening around you very foggy.

Back from the Hiatus

05/28/2005

Spring Break

04/24/2004

Feelin’ Low

07/24/2003

I don’t know what it is…maybe it’s just living day to day and the monotony of it all…but I just get down sometimes. Today I’ve just been emotionally on edge. There’s no reason I can think of for it. I have a happy life, happy home, good job, great husband, wonderful family, super pets, and Read More

Bat Boy Learns the Cello!

07/23/2003

Josh took me to see the musical Bat Boy yesterday at Lucie Stern Theater in Palo Alto. I laughed my head off. Part of it was sheer delight for actually seeing some theater again (the last show I saw was in February). The characters were spectacularly played, especially the lead of Bat Boy, the mother, Read More
