Fighting the Dark Cloud of pudge!!

I saw the show, Menopause Out Loud, on Friday.  It was very cute and funny, so if you have a chance to see it sometime, (and are of the age) do see it.

After my complaints, I am the one who has been off line for a while.  And thanks, Flower, for offering to create a surprise party for me!

Not much new here.  Lost the added pounds - well some drift on and off.  I think in part due to the extensive PMS I am having.  Blame “out loud” for that!

Went to another wedding show on the weekend.  Largely I went to try to get my hands on makeup artist contracts (what do they look like??).  Odd that booths would have show specials but no contracts on hand.  Obviously they are not as “legal” as some other contracts.

On Friday I had a problem with a behavioural student.  He is now suspended for three days - and somewhat surprised that holding a lighter to cardboard was something one could get suspended for!  He is a very attractive and articulate kid but seems to be missing a couple of necessary brain functions.  I am not being funny.  Kids like that can be scary!  After he was suspended (but had not left the building) he made a point of walking past my classroom (at the other end of the school) and swearing.  As it was late and most people were gone, the caretakers have the radio blaring through the PA system so I could not make out all of what he said.  Fortunately there was a caretaker nearby or I would have been concerned  for my safety!  Unfortunately, the caretaker only heard the “f” word that I heard and no more - due to the blaring music.

After some amazing PD I had on the brain and learning disabilities, I am teaching the kids about their brains and re-wiring of them - in my learning strategies class.  In all honesty, the standard curriculum for that class is too boring for this audience.

Ok, enough about my job.  I am off to walk the dog!  At least he doesn’t swear at me - as far as I know!

Cheers!
