Walking down the hall on Tuesday . . .

Two boys and a girl are walking down the hall. Let's call them B1, B2, and the girlfriend. The two boys are pushing and shoving each other in the hall. It's not a fight, it's just dumb sophomores pushing each other.

Me: Hey, you guys, knock it off. Keep your hands to yourself.

B1: We weren't doing anything.

Me: Just stop the goofing off in the hallway, please.

B2 grabs the girlfriend by the hand and the three continue to walk down the hall.

B1: Hey, Mrs Binggeli, aren't you going to tell them to knock it off. Look! They didn't keep their hands to themselves. Isn't that a public display of infection!

I ignore their "infections" and continue to walk down the hall.

alicia rugby game

I had the opportunity to go to one of the last games that Alicia will be playing for a while. See she has injured herself pretty bad in the area of her shoulder. She will be going to get it fix in awhile. I want to dedicate this post to her.

Time for a new post

Hmmmmm . . . . enough with the cheese grater post. It makes my rear end hurt every time I look at it. Ouch!

It's homecoming week this week at good ol' Tooele High School. Here are our dress up days if you'd like to play along at home. If anyone can explain how participating in this shows your school spirit and isn't just totally strange, I'd like to talk to you.

Monday - PJ's and crazy hair day
Tuesday - Blast from the Past day
Wednesday - Salad Dressing Day
Thursday - Super Star/Super Hero Day
Friday - Purple and White Day. Go Buffs!

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.
