Sam has a system for eating breakfast burritos in the car. He asks for taco sauce in a cup.
Bite of burrito:
Sip o’ sauce:
And that, kids, is how it’s done.

When I was a kid, my bothers would set up their bedroom as the bridge on the Enterprise, complete with a bean bag on the bed as the captain’s chair. Mark was Kirk, Phil was Spock, and I was Uhura (with a spool in my ear for communications). We probably only did this one time, but the memory has stuck with me.
Thank you, Lenord Nimoy. You were and will always be a treasure.

Well, it was a day. It is bitterly cold and we didn’t go outside at school. Our motto is ‘If it’s above zero or below one hundred, we go outside.” (That’s regarding degrees, not number of scorpions on the playground.) The wind chill was well below zero, so we stayed inside. Awesome.
i stopped at Runza on the way home, got in the drive-through to order and…. my window was iced shut. Awesome.
Once home, I took the spirit of Beth’s list and threw away some stuff from one drawer. One drawer! (Fist pump!) Actually awesome!

We had another successful Bad Movie Night on Tuesday, and Lauren is finally letting me write about it. We didn’t go into it thinking it would be anything out of the ordinary. Samith investigated the movies this time around and presented us with two choices: Jupiter Rising or Kingsmen.
Samith characterized Jupiter Rising as, “potentially having some love story element involved.” And he characterized Kingsmen as, “Has Samuel L. Jackson ever disappointed us?” Or, in the case of Bad Movie Night, maybe that should be, “Has Samuel L. Jackson ever not disappointed us?” Or maybe, “Has Samuel L. Jackson ever appointed us?”
They* say that good movies are all good in the same way, but bad movies are all bad differently. I think it’s fairly safe to say that Kingsmen was bad in the Oh-Sh*t-We-Ran-Out-Of-Money-And-The-Film-Isn’t-Done sort of way. Which is sort of, but not quite the same as Dusk Til Dawn’s I-Bet-You-Didn’t-Know-This-Was-A-Vampire-Movie sort of way. Oh, and belated spoiler alert for Dusk Til Dawn.
Afterwards we ate a Five Guys and reminisced about other spectacular Bad Movie Night Movies. What are some great bad movies that you’ve seen?
*No one says that, I just make things up.

I’ve been going to bed early since I’m fighting my cold. (What a wonderful excuse to be lazy!) My elbow is acting up again, so I give myself full permission to check out of reality and lie down.
I’m falling asleep listening to a very nice station on Pandora. (You can go to Pandora.com or get the app.) When I was subbing in the toddler room for a little bit at nap time, the teacher had the ‘Instrument Quarter’ station playing, it was so peaceful, I felt like I was in a little toddler spa!
Ahhhhhhh….

Sooooooo many people at work are sick. Sooooooo many people in Seward are sick. We have a wellness policy at the CDC that has very clear guidelines: You can’t be at school until 24 hours after you are fever-free/vomit-free/diarrhea-free, but we can’t battle the common cold. You can’t make children stay home just because they are grossing you out.
In an environment primarily filled with adults, I think it might be possible to escape the germs. Not in preschool, though. Despite my constant, constant, constant, constant reminders and warnings – “Catch your cough!” “Get a tissue!” “Your finger was right in your nose! Wash it!” – it is a losing battle. I have children who cough in your face, spatter the room with snot, a little girl (Ella) who went through a box of tissues Tuesday and then another one Wednesday (I am not exaggerating), and there is nothing to be done about it.
Several of our staff have caught it, and I held off until the weekend. This cold? I shall call it Ella.
