The “F-Word”
Did you know the “F-word” is FART. Yes, that’s right. In my classroom the “F-word” is FART. As in toot, pass wind/gas, flatuance. It’s not the good ol’ word that rhymes with Duck. The word I may use on occasion. Ok, more than on one occasion. It’s a very common word in my weekend vocabulary actually. I found it hard not to laugh. I heard one of the kids actually use the real F-word and told someone to F-You. But it was followed by the word Fart and this caused another child to get raised up in arms over the use of this word. The other big F-bomb flew under…

Oh what a life I lead
Ok, I had this well written post then used my better judgment and removed it. I didn’t use names or anything. I just vented and told some funny things I’ve heard and some down right frustrating ones I’ve come across. However, I was worried someone might actually be reading this and might actually care what I’m saying. So I took it out. Let’s just say, I’ve learned a lot more about people and their strange habits and beliefs. On with bigger and better things. Fostering individuality is important.

Today, club ownership is a rarely seen, seldom-quoted collection of suits. Clockwise from top left, Jim Leech of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan; MLSE chairman Larry Tanenbaum; MLSE director Dale Lastman; Robert MacLellan of TD Bank; Robert Bertram of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan; CTVglobemedia CEO Ivan Fecan. The Toronto hockey public has known the two extremes of sports ownership. Both, in very different ways, created a sense of tyranny and helplessness for Maple Leaf…

In a slump ?????
Why? Not sure. Just am. Or am I? You can’t tell on the outside, but I feel it. I think. I’m loving work. I’m loving the kids. I’m liking where we are right now. But something is lacking. I lost a fire. I’m feeling very unproductive at home. I’m not feeling like “me”. I’m not being the person, the wife, the daughter, the sister, the friend I’ve always been/I want to be. I have no idea why. I’m constantly tired. I feel withdrawn and alone up here. Yes, before I get flamed I have John and he’s awesome, nothing has changed there but I can still feel alone. He’s busy…
