Happy Halloween!

by Rachel on October 31, 2009

Happy Halloween! It’s a rainy Halloween day here, I hope it clears up tonight so all the trick-or-treaters won’t get soaked. My Halloween began yesterday, when I took the Pre-K class I am working with right now “trick-or treating” around the high school building they are located in. They loved it. Well, aside from one [...]

Because D Went to Get A Movie…

by Rachel on October 20, 2009

D went out to get a movie, so now I’m sitting alone, waiting for my laundry to finish so I can finish packing. Oh, technically, I guess I am not alone, since Miss MJ is  sitting on the couch next to me. She is taking up over half the couch by the way, AND her [...]

A Serious One

by Rachel on October 20, 2009

What do you do when  you REALLY know that something a friend is doing is, well, moronic? Do you talk to them about it? Ignore it and see what happens? Voice it (semi)anonymously on the internet? Said friend doesn’t read my blog, but I still don’t want to air all her personal problems on the [...]

I Like to Live Dangerously

by Rachel on October 20, 2009

Guess what bad-girl thing that I did now? I put a (60% cotton 40% “Modal”(wtf is that?) ) sweater/shrug thing in the dryer. EVEN THOUGH IT SAID TO “HANG OR LAY FLAT TO DRY”! What will happen? Will it shrink to a size so small that I will have to give it to Miss Mayzie-Jane [...]

Funny Kid Quotes

by Rachel on October 17, 2009

Week after next, I begin a new teaching experience.  Every new experience brings different things, some good (drawings, hugs, and high-fives given to me by the kids) and some bad (germs and temper tantrums), but EVERY experience brings something funny. Here are a few of my most favorite quotes from kids over the last few [...]

Boredom Busting Ice Cream

by Rachel on October 16, 2009

This post over at beagooddad.com made me think of one of my favorite things to do with kids that is SUPER easy. Ziploc ice cream! First, take a gallon sized freezer bag and fill it about a third of the way full with ice. Then, put in two good handfuls of rock salt. Ok, now [...]

Happy!

by Rachel on October 15, 2009

I forgot! I will be getting to see Sister V next week, I haven’t seen her since August! I have missed her like WHOA.  I can’t wait to hear things like this again: Sister V: “What the hell did you put in this? Arsenic?” Me: “Do you REALLY think I could afford poison?” (I really [...]

Fuddy-Duddies

by Rachel on October 15, 2009

I am bored, and home all alone.  I have a strange craving for Mexican food…and none of my old-fart friends can be persuaded to go acquire said Mexican food with me. True, it is after 9 pm. I get that friends. I own a clock.  That’s prime Mexican food getting time! I guess I will [...]

Rain, Rain, GO AWAY

by Rachel on October 14, 2009

I swear, it rains nearly everyday here in Nowhere, Tennessee. All this rain has made me think twice about wishing I was shacking up with the Cullens in rainy Forks, WA. It really is ridiculous here. Last month the rain flooded some apartments (18+ inches of water in them)  ruined those, and this month, which, [...]
