everybody’s mom

Banana and mayo sandwich sorry guys

Dang I don’t know what went down on laclede west of grand but a whole lot of police are headed there. Fast.

I did take my medicine and it’s still distressing.

random allusions to whales

The k12-admin/consulting hiring thing needs to be investigated more.

He worked at our school district for a while!

Update: I forgot to take all my medicines today as well.

2016 S JEFFERSON AV is on the tax sale list

There‘s only a handful of shows that I have sat down and watched on purpose and very few that I watched while they were first on the air.

“On the air”… I am so old.

There are some cars here in St. Louis with the license plates but they don’t seem like they would be trump/tea party supporters

I haven’t watched it but my husband recommended it in his sermon today.

Sometimes my dual roles as school board member and education grad student just conspire together to make me really depressed.

Carolynne Hitter Brown’s SINGING THROUGH STRUGGLE reveals how postemancipation Black churches used music to nurture identity and resist oppression.

I still think St Louis needs to hold a repentance/exorcism service about all those mounds we destroyed.

11yo: “I want to be Jesus-possessed, not demon-possessed.”

We’ll discuss the Holy Spirit at lunch I guess

I think Roy just recommended K Pop Demon Hunters from the pulpit [music stand]??

Prayers requested.

Luke 8:31

And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.

H O L D hold that line!

I thought about it at Costco today.

Would just like to report that 14yo read Of Mice and Men at school and is now making Lenny jokes.

All four very large children pushing two full carts to our car in the Costco parking lot.

Living the dream.

Update: there is a Journal of Leisure Science.

Update: I have not yet found the document but I have found my passport.

Update: I have not found the papers I am looking for but I have found enough random stacks of papers to start hating myself a little.

(I’ll get over it)

Anecdotal data from our district is yes, at least 4 a year at magnet schools hopefully also at n’hood. Whether we have prepared kids to read by ninth grade is a different and very sad question.

More and more variations of the gluten-free soy sauce whose name I can’t remember!!

I did a seven day free trial that I will probably forget to cancel to read this but it is worth it. Anyway, I have raised four kids (17-11yo) and would say what kids need is not “you are good,” (I am Presbyterian after all), but “you are LOVED no matter what,” is far more important.

Rural schools use H1B visas to fill teaching positions. A $100,000 fee could end that. “No district could afford that even for one teacher, much less multiple teachers,” one Alaska superintendent said.

‘Absolutely devastating’: Rural schools say $100K visa fee could make it hard to hire teachers

And that’s why I have hip problems and back problems (probably not the only reason)
