I am SO excited about this!!! Â We had planned on going to the play this summer, but when I went on-line to buy tickets I found THIS!!!! Â There is going to be a Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe exhibit at Union Station and it looks SOOO cool!!! Â And (yes, it gets better) Â if you buy the tickets for the exhibit by May 1, you also get free tickets to Science City that you can use that day or another day. Â I love finding fun things to do!

I was talking to my brother this evening and he was telling me his wife (my SIL) had a dream recently where she was given the chance to go back in time and spend one day with their children when they were one. (They are now twelve.) It almost made me cry. Kids grow up so fast. I would love to go back in time and hold my babies for a day when they truly were babies. I would happily change their diapers, get up in the middle of the night and feed them and play peek-a-boo with them to their hearts content. As difficult as those days were at times, I am sad they are gone.

I found this fun little activity at Some of This and Some of That! Enjoy!
I have taught in four different schools, in two different states and in two different grades and there are some things that you can be pretty certain of no matter where you teach or what grade you teach. I subbed again today in the same class I was in yesterday and I could see little bits of former students in these kids. Almost every year I taught there was someone who I lovingly referred to (only to myself and obviously never to the child) as pigpen. This is the poor, sweet dear child whose desk is a complete pit even though you JUST had them clean it out yesterday and whose shirt looks like they used it for a napkin during a very messy spaghetti dinner even though it is 10a.m. and you haven’t even gone to lunch yet. Their shirt is always untucked and their fly is usually down. There is usually a student who has their own agenda…these are the ones that drive me BATTY because I also have an agenda and since the teacher (that would be me) is in charge, they should be following my agenda, not their own. There is the student that no matter what you do just doesn’t seem to be able to get their work done. Sometimes they are really trying and just can’t get it together and then there are the ones who aren’t trying because they are either in la-la land or they are too busy messing around. There are usually a couple of girls whose mission it is to please the teacher at all costs…I would like a whole classroom of these please. 🙂 There is the child, usually a boy, who feels it is his job to entertain the rest of the class. (If you can get this kid to come around and be your ally life is a lot easier.) Then there is at least one boy who is super smart, but not too cocky about it and usually very sweet. I’ll take a couple of those, too, please. Obviously there are all kinds of children that make up a classroom, but I couldn’t help but notice today that the kids in that class reminded me WAY TOO MUCH of kids I have seen before…it’s like I never left.
