Random thoughts

1) I was listening to some talk radio station when I got in the car to go tend Elliott tonight. It wasn't NPR, but some AM station that I'm really not sure how it got there. Anyway, some guy was interviewing Orrin Hatch about the state of our country. I almost wrecked my car when Borrin Orrin said that he doesn't like the Republicans OR the Democrats and that he was once in fact a "liberal democrat." Huh? What planet are you living on Orrin? A Democrat? When?

2) I don't like to iron. I have a pile of school clothes that have been worn once since I last ironed them, but can't really be worn again until I iron them again. The ironing board has been out for a couple of weeks now. I finally put it away tonight. The pile of ironing is still there.

3) I don't usually like forwarded e-mails, but I do like cheese. Ouch. Thanks, Chris!

Do you need to be in the special class?

As a teacher, there is one class every year that is always the dreaded class. This year it is 8th period. It is 9th grade Algebra 1-A. Half of the class is really great kids who try really hard, but the other half . . . .

Yesterday's activities include a drooling contest. How long can you get your spit to be before it drops on your shirt. Disgusting. Are you in kindergarten? Do you need to go across the hall to the class of kids who can't help but do this? Gross.
