A Virtual Writer's Notebook

Being a teacher carries over into many aspects of my life: the way I interact with children and adults, the way I use my "teacher voice" when my husband is acting up, the way I view the world as a wide open place to learn, and the way I want to capture every thought, image and encounter on paper. Hopefully this blog will help me to bottle and share at least a small piece of the world (and the way I view it) wih others.

The time for sharpened pencils and bookbags returns...

Last night I am sitting on my couch, watching TV with my husband, when I pick up my day planner and started looking through it. All of a sudden, I hear a high pitched noise that resembles a siren. I look to my left and see my sweet husband, almost in tears, with a big frown on his face- and the noise is coming from him! I ask, "What's the matter?!" He points at the planner accusingly and says, "What is THAT?!" I say, "It's my planner." He says, "Why is it here? It means "Fall Cat" is coming soon!" I say, "I guess so, I only have two weeks of summer left and I technically have to go back to work next week." He is devastated to lose his summer love. So I implore you my friends, help me keep Summer Cat alive all year long. Remind me of how much fun I am during the warmer months and help me to do all the fun things I am capable of during the school year! My husband deserves a summer wife all year long. :)
