Miss Bates is poor and annoying and everyone knows it, including Miss Bates
civility requires maintaining the polite fiction that she's neither of these things
Admin: You know the saying "Maslow before Bloom"?
The teacher version of that is "PD AFTER room."
It is really tough to focus on any PD, no matter how valuable, when we know there is a mountain of furniture stacked in a corner of our room.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Lincoln JUST woke up, I’m in the bathroom. From the bedroom, I hear:
“GASP!!! It’s my BIRTHDAY! I’ve been waiting for this day for a WHOLE YEAR!!”
My little boy is so big!! Happy birthday, Lincoln!! 💙
Lincoln (4yo) just told my bellybutton (aka “Baby Sister”) the following:
“Now stop kicking mama. That’s not manners….but I love you. And I promise to be-tect you when you’re out of her belly”
Stoooop 🥺😭
Listening to Audiobooks is reading.
Say reading.
Reading does not occur in the eyeballs.
It occurs in the brain.
People can use their eyeballs to read
People can use their fingers to read
People can use their ears to read
It’s all reading!
If they question you, refer them to me.
It's GAME DAY! Your Lady Blue Jays are on the road to take on the Great Bend Panthers! Tickets are $7 for students K-12 and adults. We hope to see you there!

Lincoln (4 yo) felt baby girl (30 weeks old) kick today. He was giving her advice.
Through my belly button (because it’s a direct line, duh)
“Now sister - remember. You eat milk. Don’t eat Legos, giraffes, or bubbles. Got it? I love you!”
We’re telling 👦🏼 (4yo) about the Blarney Stone & how it gives you the “gift of the gab”
👦🏼”so I’m the gift? Of gab”
👩🏼”no. The stone makes you talk a lot. That’s what gab means”
👦🏼 “then I HAVE the gift??? Of the GAB!?”
🙄👨🏼”Yes Lincoln. Mama must have passed it down to you”
We're listening to music and playing legos. Little Mermaids "under the sea turns on"
🦀 sings "life under the sea is better"
👦🏼(4yo) sings: "actually life up on land is pretty greeaaaaaat!"
I forget sometimes we don’t live in the city anymore! Yesterday, I saw a gaggle of turkeys in our neighbors yard! And today there were lizards and a preying mantis on our back door! And we found a baby FROG in our kitchen!!! 😳😅🫠
Getting ready for bed:
👦🏼daddy? Will you snuggle all of us?
👨🏼of course buddy! You, and mama, and baby sister?
👦🏼yes! I’ll make a wish for you to have a ghost third arm so you can reach baby sister, too.
