It's funny though...I must read a LOT of British literature, because I'd have spelled it with ey. I read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and one of the characters in that is Lord John Grey...so I'd have gone with that spelling.

Oh, I'm definitely carrying my own weight in that department. I don't know how much I can up the level without crossing some line.

I keep getting derailed with my workouts. I don't get enough steps in when I have to work, so I keep planning to go on long walks on my days off, but then I keep getting called in on my days off, and if I don't, we end up with a major thunder storm and it's not safe to go out. And they are...

Yeah, and the Netherlands relies on bikes a lot more than the US does. Bikes here have built in locks. I had never seen that in the US...I always had a chain lock, but people can just cut the chain. Here, they tell you to use both a chain lock and the bike's own lock, because if you don't use...

I just got this one, but haven't read it yet. I also pre-ordered the next two in the series. The Christmas Tree Farm and the Strawberry Patch Pancake House.

This. And out of curiosity, can a teacher request a para after the school year has started or is that something that has to b arranged before school starts? And I'm also curious to know, do the paras there go with the kids to specials? Where I was teaching in Wyoming, paras didn't go to...

Do they take friendships into account at all? That can be a blessing and a curse. At my kids' elementary school, they always discussed the kids with the teachers of the next grade, and they'd look at friendship groups and try to make sure that everyone had at least one friend in their class...

Thank you! I actually think I look better with the shorter hair, but it's more important to me that some kid doesn't get bullied for having no hair. It's something easy that I can do and it's free other than the cost of the haircuts, which we would have to pay for anyway. Thank you for the...

Wow....so DID you tick off someone in admin?? How do they do class distribution there?

Ha, yeah, she's my mini-me. If we both had our hair down, we looked kind of twin-like already with the long hair. She's always looked a lot like me.

Are you the newest teacher there? I swear when I was in school they gave the kids the experienced teachers didn't want to the newbie. My sixth grade year, I had a teacher who was fresh out of college and they put a kid in my class who was known as "the problem kid". It's sad...it's not that...

Yep, that's why we do it. We grow it out for about 3-4 years, then chop it off and donate it. This is E's 4th time, and my....7th I think?

I HATE driving, so I love not having to drive at Disney...it's one of the main things that attracts me to Disney. I can get anywhere on property without driving an inch, which is a HUGE plus in my book. But we had issues back in 2019 when we took my niece out for dinner so her dads could have...

Oh man, I wish I could go to Disney! I could totally use a break! Tell her hello for me and E! I think of her often. We have some little wooden boxes where I work, with elephants burned into the top, but they don't have the trunks up. But elephants always make me think of her.

It is time, once again!

Sounds like a commercial for a store for eyeglasses!! They have those here...there's someone who goes into her new job as an aerobics instructor and does an intense workout and walks out and the senior citizens in wheelchairs all just look confused, waiting for bingo to start. Meanwhile...

Honestly, other than the not following expectations, the crying kid sounds like my son. He has always been a rule follower, so that was never an issue with him. But when he felt something was unfair, or when he didn't understand what was expected of him, he'd cry. I warned his new teacher...

Today was the day!
