Today instead of getting ready for a parent meeting, I came up with a plan to rename my high school: Dolly Parton High School. The plan is complex and well thought out.
“I appreciate Mrs. Thatcher because she is the best teacher I have ever had and she is so sweet and funny. I love her so much.”

Drawing and Painting students created some “mini watercolor landscapes” working from photographs of their choice. They’re in the library, check them out!
JUST IN: A bill that would allow some trained teachers and faculty who haven’t worked in law enforcement to carry handguns on school grounds passed the Tennessee House Tuesday.

Just thinking about the busy last couple of months at my job, and how grateful I am for these opportunities, and for my boss who allows it all! SO GRATEFUL!!!
Sobered by last night and trying to practice what people call radical acceptance, not of a presidential candidate because surprising things happen. Just plainly sobered by the thought that, with other individuals to choose from, masses of people still hail Trump. He’s what they actually want in a leader. A bully. A verbally abusive, artfully and purposely divisive bully who has all but left the Republican Party unrecognizable. I don’t know. I just can’t understand it. Maybe I’ve got a mental block. But, you who are staunch Republicans, why don’t you care about your own party more than that?
Forgive me. I don’t want to be a repeat performance of my 2016 self. I don’t. I didn’t like her anymore than you did. I intend to deal differently with this. I do not intend to get obsessed. I do not intend to lose more relationships. I don’t intend to talk about this regularly.
As the Scriptures say, I want to seek peace and pursue it. I want to be a person of kindness, love and compassion.
But I’ve got to move to a place of radical acceptance. It was one thing to cast a vote for a party’s only candidate, reasoning the choice as the lesser of two evils. This is quite another thing. This is wide-open-eyed, “we WANT Trump!”
Anyway, this is where we are. We can complain all we want about our leaders but, in this government by the people, at the end of the day and the beginning of November, our candidates are mirrors of ourselves.
