Fresh Off the Needles #3
John and I have been walking a few miles a week to prepare for the Avon walk for breast cancer research that we're going to participate in this October (39.3 miles!)....recently it has been quite chilly on our walks, so I whipped this up to help keep my brain warm....
And here I am wearing it....

General Rules About the Grocery Store...
that we all should already know. (Please excuse me while I rant for a bit.)
1. If you are walking, with your small children, in the MIDDLE of the road, please do not give me dirty looks and hand gestures for driving. See, the road is for CARS and even they tend to stay to one side or the other. Get your butt over to the edge of the row!
2. Do not huff and puff because I am taking 30 seconds of your valuable time to pick out decent tomatoes. I'm sorry that you have had the misfortune of arriving at this section of the store a couple of seconds later than me, but this does not mean that I'm going to buy the first mangy vegetation I see so that I can hurry out of your way. Be patient and hope that the person that's waiting on you isn't as much of a jerk.
3. Dear Cashier,
Please stop slinging my produce at Mach 7 speeds toward the "already bagged groceries" area. I had to endure some jerk's huffing and puffing just to get that produce and I would like to bring it home unbruised. It really doesn't save you that much time to throw it anyway. Hell, you could just hand the bag to me and I'd put it in my cart because I'm nice like that. :)
4. If you are driving across the parking lot with complete disregard for lanes, spaces or common sense, DO NOT honk at me when you almost hit me as I drive down the road like I'm supposed to. Grrrrrr.
Really, just because it is supposed to snow does not mean that we are living out some "world gone mad" scenario of chaos, anarchy and doom. Geez.

I Can't Wait for School Tomorrow!!!
Because....I can't wait to tell my kids that the NC Poet Laureate read and responded to their poems that we posted on her blog! They are going to be so excited! I wish it was 4th period right now. :)
If you want to see the poems (or just check out a really cool blog), go to http://ncpoetlaureate.blogspot.com/2009/01/renga-journals.html and read the comments. All of the poems were a collaborative effort by all of the students in my language arts class and the kids had a great time writing them.

The Battle of the Sexes Rages On
Grace shared a poem (of sorts) that the 2nd grade girls like to say...
Girls go to Mars
To be stars
Boys go to Jupiter
To get stupider
Oh, how I giggled. :D
