Mr. E Killed His Bee


So it turns out teachers are a gossipy brood. I knew this, but I didn't care until today when I turned out to be an object of one of the rumors. About three teachers stopped by my room and asked how I felt about moving my room. I said, "I don't know what you're talking about" until the third person, and then, I have to admit, I started to freak out a bit. I teach music, and I have a lot of stuff. Moving this lot of stuff would be outrageous, but do-able, it's just the fact that my room is starting to look like somebody learns something there, not to mention my office is starting to look like an adult works there. Anyway, I freak out on Mr. E during naptime and he tells me what I know, teachers are a gossipy brood, but of course this does little to soothe my worry, and I go on my co- teaching way. Then, of course, after Mr. E distracts me with his whole saga~ he had been chasing this bee in his class all week, he finally got it today and proceeded to turn it into a science experiment~ my principal finally steps out of his ages long meeting and tells me he had stuck up for me and my need for my room, and that, teachers are a gossipy brood...

The other rumour going around my school? A second grader has swine flu. Yes, for a brief shining moment, I was as important as swine flu. At least Mr. E got his bee.

oh yeah, and the double windsor is crispy!

Currently

I weigh in every Tuesday. This Tuesday I weighed in at 185, which is just crazy. The last time I was 185 I was a sophomore in high school. Last Memorial Day I weighed myself before going to a friend's BBQ, realized I weighed 223, and vowed this will change.

I think a lot about my walk this summer. I feel so indescribably changed by it. I walked the Breast Cancer 3- Day, and I feel like I started one person and came out completely different. I'm more at peace with my life, though I know there is still a lot I want to change. What's weird is I feel different without even knowing why or how. Mostly it's just feeling older, wiser. I feel like I don't know who I am, but finally I've realized I'm worth enough to figure it out. This blog will help me to do so.
