I need a house for all my books already but the housing market is crazy.

Oh well. Looks like it's time to buy some new books.

@ThriftBooks Now, why would you do this during #TeacherAppreciation ?? Don't you know I am underpaid while still feeling like I deserve a little treat?? Don't you know there is only 10 days left of school and even less left of my self control??

Currently planning a picnic for my students to celebrate the end of the year--if you'd like to help click on the link!

Suppose that it is a sign of the times that the first time I bumped into one of my students in the wild last night, he wasn't actually there. He was on facetime talking with hi grandma. But he was still "thrown off" (his words) by seeing Ms Mason not at school. #teacherlife

My plans for this summer?? Wander around until I get lost in the woods on midsummer eve only to be whisked away by a handsome faerie prince with a dark past and heart of gold to save his kingdom and become his faerie queen for a thousand years never to return to the mortal lands.

My *classy* grandma on the phone: 'What have you been reading lately?'

My current reading list: The Cruel Prince, Bridgerton, and all of Sarah J Maas' canon for the umpteenth time

Me: *sweats internally*

Me: 'Oh, um, just things for school lately.'

@AndiWilson2 I'm rather excited to not get up at 5 am every morning.

Been teaching #PercyJackson to my Moderate-Severe Disabilities classroom. My student who consistently falls asleep at his desk (due to med needs) has somehow still been getting 100s on quizzes. As an OG Percy fangirl, my heart is so full. @rickriordan

Having to be around extended family has me singing "Waiting on a Miracle" yet again.

Pappaw: Well, you're getting to be about a smart ass in your old age.

Mammaw: Well you're getting to be about a dumb ass!

@isaacfordays @nancytaughtyou As a SPED teacher, I would settle for at least my paras being paid more so that we can retain them/have better training/etc.

[Mackenzi Mason @Macadoodle96]

I had an observation today and we were reading Percy Jackson. I asked them who the "demon math teacher" was.

Without missing a beat, one of my sweet angels shouts "Ms Mason!"

(In case you're wondering, yes I got the scary email that "one or more classes" did not have grades posted on time. It was one class. With two students listed in it. And former gifted kid me nearly had an anxiety attack thinking I had screwed up my career in the 1st year.)

[Mackenzi Mason @Macadoodle96]

On the one hand, posting 'grades' should be easy with only 12 students who all receive Progressing/Not progressing.

On the other hand, though there are only 6 periods in a day, in the computer I teach about 30 different class sections with very similar names.

They really need to rate party games based on a system of least likely to most likely you are to be traumatized by playing it with your grandparents on New Year's Eve.

Yo @BestBuy You shouldn't advertise "free installation" for car radios without adding the caveat that you have to pay $60 for an 'installation' kit.

[Mackenzi Mason @Macadoodle96]

@AwkwordlyEmma So.... You *like* to experience the uncomfortable existential dread that comes with watching a movie with animation that is deeply entrenched in the uncanny valley??

[Mackenzi Mason @Macadoodle96]

My pappaw is not by any means a 'religious' man.

But he has been calling up any preacher he knows to tell them the joke about the 4th wiseman.

Christmas isn't Christmas until Mammaw does the bird at Pappaw.
