I have been away so long, I am not sure if anyone is coming by to read this anymore, but I will post something anyway. I am doing well. Been busy, but who hasn’t, right? I should confess that if I really wanted to, I could post, but after teaching all day at school, then coming home to teach piano, I do not feel like doing anything but sitting in front of the television at the end of the day. 
I am trying to think what has been up since my last post. My life hasn’t been too exciting, so maybe that is the real reason why I have not posted. Haha! Yet, I have not been doing much of what I used to do. I was a great scrapbooker. I have done so much of Brendan’s life and was proud of my work. I have not picked up the stuff since last Christmas. Two Christmases ago! I am SO far behind and every time I think of it, I get more discouraged! Maybe, I really should look into the digital scrapbooking. It might make it so much easier. I do not want to regret quitting because the books are something I would love to give my son someday. I am sure he will not care too much about them, but maybe his wife will.
I do not even journal like I used to. I am not meaning by “blogging,” but I used to journal about my life in letters to Brendan. I started writing them when I found out about the possibility of adopting him, but I have even stopped that. I start to do it, but then I either get too distracted or have nothing to say that excites me. See, I am a mess.’
One thing that has happened since I last posted is that my “baby” turned nine! I cannot even believe that. He still sleeps with me, and it has been hard to get him into his own room. When I told him that he had to start when he turned nine, he asked me why that was the case. I told him it was because he was too old. He paused to ponder that, then said, “No I am not! Daddy was older than me and he slept with you!” Haha. He does have a point.
Anyway, I do think of all my “on-line” friends. I do see most of you around on facebook, so at least I am not completely out of the loop. I hope you are all well!

Just a quick stop by to drop a few facts out:
My computer does not work at school.
Meaning, I cannot get Internet access in my classroom.
This is really frustrating.
My son just told me that he could not “possibly” remember all the art terms he had to know by tomorrow.
He told me that he was going to [...]

I know it has been awhile since I have been on here. My intentions were to post at least a couple times a week, but I did not realize how bad teaching can get sometimes.
I have always told other teachers, after I left the field, to journal things that happen in their classes. [...]

I need to explain the first one. My mom is from Thailand and there they call flipflops, thongs. We grew up hearing them called that, and now, my nephews are hearing the same thing. Well, my oldest nephew, Wesley, goes to a public in the area, and this is the conversation that took place. (He [...]

I started teaching again.
I teach elementary, a level that I am not used to teaching.
It [...]

Jared (my nephew): “Hey! Guess who I just saw sing on T.V.? Michael Jackson!”
Mikey (my brother): “You look like Michael Jackson!”
Jared: “I’M NOT A GIRL!”
I guess no one told him that Michael Jackson is not a girl!

Conversation heard from my classroom:
Wesley: “Aunt Chelle is using the boy’s bathroom?”
Collin: “She always does.”
Explanation:
I have a door in my classroom that leads straight to the boy’s bathroom. It is so convenient for the boys in my class (I do not have any girls), but most of the time I use it too. It [...]
