Baaaddd Jokes

I have the cutest group of Freshman this year.  I love them almost more than my Freshman group from 2 years ago.  And that group was my favorite group- since the year before them!!!  Do you see a pattern? 

One of my favorite things to do with high school students, is to tell really dumb jokes and laugh and laugh at their reaction.  I mean- they want to laugh a little bit; but at the same time, it's just so dang bad they're really in horror over how I can make such bad jokes. 

Today was the best worst joke ever. 

We are reading The Odyssey.  And the main character has just met a cyclops, defeated him, insulted him, and stolen a few sheep to top it all off.  As we're reading the story, and I'm re-capping what all has happened, I said, "He made a baaaddd choice stealing those sheep!" 

There was silence.  And then . . . "Latta! That was the WORST joke!" 

I paused, and said, "You mean . . . a . . . baaaadd joke?" 

One kid said, "I see how the rest of class is going to go.  We should just leave her now." 


HAHAHAHAHAHA

Let Me Count the 13 Ways . . .

Today is mine and Doug's 13th anniversary. As we were sitting at dinner I was thinking, "Man is this night a LOT different than this night 13 years ago." Here are 13 ways my life is different than 13 years ago. 1. My muscle tone- particularly around the midsection. 2.  My hair which has more grey, but yet it is still so much better!  ("wisdom" and vanity cause me to spend ridiculous amounts of money on hair products- more than I spend on clothes) 3. I fed a small person ravioli's, while they wiggled and jostled next to me in the booth, and dropped forks with spaghetti sauce on my pants- tonight. 4.  I am relearning elementary school math.  I think I've got the hang of fractions now. 5. I know Disney Channel characters.  I am able to tell what show either of my children is watching- from another room, just by the voices of the characters 6. My friends are now made at my kids extra curricular events, not at work, not at the gym, not doing a hobby....

Wedded Bliss . . . Ten Years Later

Image
Yep.  Doug and I have been married TEN years!!!!  Can you believe that?  Well- not quite ten years, yet.  On Thursday- April 7- it'll be TEN years!!!!  And I am pretty sure we still love each other. I know I still love Doug and quite honestly- how could he not love me?  I am never a pill and always a delight.  In honor of our almost anniversary- I am including a copy of the email I sent my mother raving about him, after our first date- with hardly no editing and only a few comments in parenthesis.  Enjoy: Mom!!!! (I loved exclamation points way back then, too)   I went out tonight with a guy from school.  He's a teacher.  (let me clarify that I was also a teacher).   He's not married (thank goodness) and he's SUPER nice.  He's an Agriculture Education teacher- think Future Farmer's of America (uhhh- ok?!!)  But, anyway, he sat with me at the football game the other night, and tonight after che...

He's Got Her Back

Sometimes I wonder if Andrew will actually look out for Alexa.  Mostly he just seems to look for ways to aggravate the *&%^ out of her, but every now and then he indicates that he does have her back- if she needs it. I remember one time we were doing some yard work in the back yard.  Alexa was super little- like sit her on a blanket and she didn't move- little.  He was supposed to be keeping an eye on her, because I was helping Doug take a tree down.  He suddenly started screaming.  He was panicked because . . . Alexa had done some rolling and maneuvering and face planted in some dirt.  Andrew apparently thought she was going to die.  Hey kid, "Dirt Don't Hurt!"  That was the first time I was reassured that he would save her- if he had to. Another time she had somehow gotten herself in a spot, where she was pretty close to the edge of something off the ground.  Andrew freaked then too.  Freaking isn't exactly the reaction I want hi...
