My dad sent me this hilarious twitter link.

I don't do all that facebook, twitting business but THIS is good stuff.
I am laughing so hard over here that I am crying.
I think that I should blog all the weird crap my dad says. That would make for some hilarious subject matter most days.

Rainy Days and Thursdays always get me...
I was going to say down, but truthfully I am not down. It is rainy, really rainy today. I love rainy fall days.
I was thinking today about all of the projects I would like to get done at home. Sometimes I wish the work week was 4 days and the weekend 3. Hear me out. I know I would not get much done at school (work) and I know that would mess with the rhythm of the world, but to be honest I wish I had one more weekend day consistently to get some things done.
I had a group of kids the last 2 mods that are flat out AWESOME. Some of them were not done with their assignment for today. I told them that they need to write and get their narrative done since it is due tomorrow, and if they were finished they are working on a peer editing activity. They are all quietly and diligently working. Watching little brains grow bigger really fulfills me. I wish sometimes that they got excited about the little things and thought that being smart was "cool". I think some kids really get it, but others get so wrapped up in the hype of trying to be just like everyone else and cool that they forget that their differences are what make them "cool".
Take me for example. I absolutely LOVE it when kids tell me I am weird. I AM WEIRD!!! I want to shout it from the highest mountain top, because weird is so much more desirable than mediocre, robotic, and assimilationist clones.
I seem to get a writing bug in the fall. I am feeling it lately, but I have so many papers to grade I am pushing it back. I think I will continue work on a short story I started about 4 years ago.
More to come as I get more motivated to write...
