Top 10 Reasons I love my job:

1.) Getting homemade tatoos from facepaint markers
2.) Having 130 people (or kids rather) think that my artwork is comparable to Van Gogh’s
3.) Teaching small very frightened kids to skate (especially since I’m not very good myself and they always want me to take them out for the hokey pokey song)
4.) Having kids actually fight for the [...]

Naming ceremonies

My plants are still alive so I decided to name them. The basil will be frank and the parsley will be pheonix in the hopes that the name will spur him out of his rather crispy looking behavior as of late.
In other news, the kids have almost completed the scrap book and have already finished [...]

Thirsty

I haven’t slept well this week, so i went to bed exhausted last night and woke up this morning feeling horrible. I contemplated calling in sick to work but then I remembered that Kayla was coming to the club today even though her dad had the day off because I told her I would teach [...]

I haven’t written in this category for a while. I’m not sure I’ve learned a whole lot here. I know a lot about love as duty. Kind of the way the Hebrew people approached God in the Bible for so many years. Love as a binding agent that keeps you somewhere not always because you [...]

False Alarm

I’m trying to put this thing to bed
I’ve drugged it in its sleep
There isn’t many memories
I’m comfortable to keep
This ball keeps rolling on
It’s heading for the streets
Keep expecting you to send for me
The invitation never comes
Each time I turn around
There’s nothing there at all
So tell me why I feel like
I’m up against a wall
But maybe [...]

Cave

I need a cave. I feel like a sleep deprived bear. I’m glad I had a field trip today, if I’d been left all day in that art room with the kids they would never speak to me again. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like sleep is in the future for me tonight either. I had [...]

Wrap-up

I’m going to Grad school. I just found out for sure this past weekend. Wierd. I have a strange habit of making life decisions at the last moment. I’m going to be a counselor. How crazy is that? Me. huh.
In other good news, Kara is back from Prague and the rest of my siblings are [...]

The Coliseum: pt 2

A few years back, I had a dream that a friend was in trouble. I found him with other people in a cage in the forest. There were strange elephant like creatures chained to trees with them. I snuck over to the cage but was seen. As a guard started coming my friend told me to step [...]

Still?

So there are some things that are really hard to get rid of. And the more you try not to think about them the harder it is. Nothing to do with Jack. Old stuff. Except maybe you don’t really want to get rid of them? It’s just surprising that they are still their pestering you [...]
