What just happened?

I wrote an entire blog, and it disappeared. It was good, too, or at least I thought so. I have no idea what button I accidentally hit, but whatever it was.....it made my blog zip to cyber space forever without even one view. So sorry, guys, for those of you waiting for the next word.....Today, the word is SAVE YOUR WORK OFTEN!!!! Now I know why I can't play the orange button on Guitar Hero....stupid pinky finger! Stupid mini keyboard on my netbook! Oh let's get real.....STUPID ME!!!

And 15 months later.....She's back!

I have had several folks "ask" for me to start blogging again. So, I have succumbed to the pressure of sharing my crazy life with the world again! Today, I have felt more like a counselor than a teacher. I guess both jobs go hand-in-hand as I have found an effective teacher wears many hats: mom, dad, coach, referee, entertainer, comedian, nurse, doctor, custodian, librarian, media specialist, babysitter, and oh yeah, counselor and teacher. Yesterday, one of my kids lost her dad to cancer. She was brave enough to be with him when he left this world. I could never have done that at 15. I could not even look at someone dead at 15, let alone my parent. Then another student, who lost his mom to cancer several years ago, felt responsible for her death because of his bad behavior. Can you imagine carrying around that load all these years? That you felt that you deserved for your mom to die because of your bad behavior? A conversation with another student last week led to church

Fear of being "Caught in the Act"

I must say that I could write a book of all the stupid things I have done in my lifetime and probably fill up the Library of Congress! No really.....I am notorious for doing the dumbest things at the most inopportune time. This morning as I was driving to school, several of these faux pas (is there a plural of faux pas?) came rushing to my mind. Luckily I was by myself at the time this incident occurred, but the thought of being "Caught in the Act" brought feelings of despair and extreme embarrassment! Oh well, here goes..... Yesterday, I bought some of those flossing placker things that looks like a toothpick but have dental floss on them, too. I actually spent several minutes at Rite Aid looking at the different brands and prices, trying to figure out what was the best ones for me. I chose one that was reasonably priced, had a rather good amount in the packet, and seemed a fair quality of placker-thingy. My purpose is to starting flossing my teeth after having

You just thought you knew everything there is to know about me, huh? Let's see....I am a teacher....check....huge Tennessee fan...check....hate raisins...check....a Christian...check...loves music...check...former hitch hiker....check..no wait...what? Ah, so you DON'T know everything about me! Okay, let's start with the latter... 10. I went to Europe the first time as a junior at Lenoir-Rhyne. I was with a family from LR, and then we also traveled with two guys from New York and a girl from Canada. Most of the group went to ski. Me...I tried skiing for 30 minutes and almost did not live to tell about it. So I went sightseeing, and how do you sight see in Europe? Hitch hike!! It was totally safe, and I was always with someone in the group, usually. And I decided it was best not to share this news with my parents until AFTER I returned from Europe! 9. I have a hard time telling my left from my right. I have to stop and think about it almost every time. Ask my husband and
