I’m so happy to announce that Mosaic Minds is live! At least it looks live to me. Kisha hasn’t given me the official word yet, so there still might be a few screwy things, but it will all be good within an hour or so.
I really didn’t think we were going [...]

It’s been such a long week. Would me saying TGIF be too cheesy? I think it would be, especially since it makes me think of Full House *shudder*.
I really don’t have much to say tonight. I feel completely brain dead. I did have a very nice day today, so no rants shall [...]

It may just be a miracle, but I think I am feeling calm today. I only had to work half a day, and it was a very nice day. I got to watch the teacher teach for about fifteen minutes and I totally dig her style–firm and fair with high expectations. She [...]

If you wouldn’t mind, I’d like you to go fill out a poll in my LJ. You can find it HERE.
We will have all of the reviews in this issue, but after a mass exodus of staff, I’m not sure I really want to replace people. We WILL need a new Joyful Girl [...]

It may not be Friday, but it WAS my last day with the class from HELL. Amazing how three kids can totally ruin a group. The worst offender was out on suspension today, so I thought we’d have a semi-pleasant day. The other two had cooled their jets considerably after lost recess [...]

Anyone out there feeling joyful? Have you seen a good movie lately?
We are having problems at MM and are in dire need of a Joyful Girl article and a good, long movie review with lots of fun and snark.
The Joyful Girl article should talk about ways that you make your life more Joyful. [...]

Today was FABULOUS! Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!
You know how I’ve mentioned this class if full of violent little felons on their way to some hard time on Alcatraz? You know how several of them have had to go to the ER? It was all a build up to today. Guess who they tried [...]

I suppose a good day had to be balanced out with a bad evening.
The day was absolutely brilliant. I don’t know what happened to my students, but I suspect it involved alien invasion or subliminal messages on the Nickelodeon. The children I had today were not the children I had last week. [...]

Mike has declared that I’m officially showing. This morning he was feeling my belly and his eyes got really big as he announced he could feel something in there. I guess the uterus has popped out of the pelvic region and into my abdomen. [schmoopiness] He’s so cute about it! He [...]

You’d think getting four more kids in a class would make things worse instead of better. The laws of normalcy don’t seem to work with this class, so I”m pleased to report we had a much better day together. Two of the students were the listed teachers helpers, and it is such a [...]
