Tuesday Haze

Just a shot of me taking Sierra off to work as a start to my morning, only to find moments after returning home that she had left her phone and I would be getting back into the car yet again.

Productive Paranoia

Who hasn't been here before, waiting for a friend in a public place and thinking that a photo of a security camera might come in handy. Apparently I watch way too much CSI. But as usual I like to error on the side of caution and be amply prepared for all occasions.

Creative Ingenuity in Cooking

So more on the topic...
I wander downstairs this morning, to confirm that my house guests are indeed gone, to find a bag of trash leaking all over my kitchen floor, oozing it's contents and spreading the joy that comes with the scent of rotting garbage. Lovely...

With that disaster contained and after thoroughly scrubbing my floors on hands and knees well before 8:00 I feel very productive.

Moving on to the next mission I start foraging for food... 3 eggs and 2 slices of bread is about all that is left...
Aside from the plethora of frozen burritos that I rely on for every meal of the day...
Meanwhile I start up a pot of coffee, knowing full well that there is nothing to cut it with...
I had thought of breaking down and taking on the miny mission to get rations... but sunk back in the couch and thought,
what would McGyver do?

That's right, McGyver would take advantage of the abundant supply of ice cream in stark contrast to the overall absence of food in this house...

So Tin Roof Sundae Lattes it is...

That was my little victory for the day.

And I just received my new mic from woot, I don't know what it is called, or what I will do with it, but that in no way limits my enthusiasm for a new toy. And I am extra excited cause there is a little check box on the front of the package that says, "Looks Damn Cool" cant beat that.

Steve's Dinner

Down for the Count

After a 13 hour day, ending with a two hour dance for the little ones, I am completely exhausted...
Tomorrow will be grading for 120 students and then conferences with the parents and guardians.
And the same on Monday, with a little break on Tuesday to plan for the rest of the term....

I am so tired.

Positive Reinforcement

These are two of our straight A students who completed all of their work before the end of the term, when given an option for free time during a catch up period, they came down to visit my room, captured their photos in Photo Booth, imported them into ArtRage, modified them on a smart Board and captured their art with their phones...
Super cool...
I am getting more kids who want to create original works in their free time and look forward to the privilege.

My Vote: Best Costume

It's That Time Again....

And to make things more exciting, you can start and stop collecting data when you like, and publish the results in a graph!
