So my nephew Drake came over with a Monster Burger from Hardees……. My sister told me he wouldn’t eat it because he thought there was a monster in it. LOL. He finally took a bite and then I asked him if he swallowed a fang. That didn’t go over too well……. Poor Drake……. oh to be a kid again!

I did a little school shopping today- bought some border, some chart paper, and an inflatable globe- I know- control your excitement….. I was in the store listening to all the other teachers talk about dreading the beginning of school and realized- in that moment- that after 8 years of doing this- I’m still excited. I can’t wait to meet 150 new minds- 150 new souls to learn from, grow with, and befriend. I love my job. I love these kids. I love to learn.

I’m finding myself doing more things like my mother and grandmother….bittersweet, I think. But yesterday was not sweet at ALL. My friend Kati came by to drop off some school things for me and it happened. I stepped up onto my porch and I fell. Flat on my glutious maximous…..scraped my arm……and hit my head. We laughed together, but she assured me it was ok to cry (several times). How funny. I’m a little sore today……my pride mostly injured……

Simply amazing….. like poetry on screen…… Legder has my Oscar vote. Go see this.
