Strikes

Today wasn't nearly as bad as yesterday's sessions with AISD. In fact, we discussed things today that actually got me thinking about my classroom management and how I do things and what things I'm going to do differently. I met our new principal's wife, a cute little thing from Puerto Rico, but raised in New York. Her husband was principal at a school of 5,000 students in the Bronx for 5 years. He thinks Crockett is paradise, apparently. Thank God for that! I want to have this feeling that he's going to do really well and help that school out with it's discipline problems. We'll see...

I got my new striker at the jewelry supply place today. I went out to work in my studio yesterday and I couldn't get my damn torch lit. Needless to say that made me "lit" and so I threw a temper tantrum until Sean forced me to go downtown with him and chill out in the park while he ran. I took my blanket and my chair, my David Sedaris book (because I'm white and white people like David Sedaris), and cooled down by the pond. Then we went to Zen and I had the tofu bowl with the dynamite sauce and brown rice - Yummy! 

Lucas and Sam have their own myspace pages now. I'm the ultimate kittie geek I've decided. I can thank Lee and Christine for that. Ever since I learned that Pling Pling had HIS own myspace page it has been my mission to make sure my children are included in the fun. I wonder if I can get them a facebook page?

My husband is screaming at me to watch the gymnastics portion of the Olympics which I will gladly do. Go China! That's a whole 'nother blog...
