Spring Break

        I am so glad Spring Break is over….said no teacher ever.  It looks like I will be setting my alarm tonight!  I might set my wake up alarm to the Jaws theme song!

Password Time to Change it AGAIN

          I absolutely cannot keep up with my passwords! AND about the time I think I finally have a few memorized, of course, it is time to change them again.  This is when I keep getting, “You have already used all your grandkids names, idiot!”  or “Really, you are actually going to use your birthday!”  UGH…..”Once again your password will not work, Brenda.  You must include:  a symbol, a number, a hieroglyph, a gang sign, an inspiring quote, a poem that you just wrote, a picture of your favorite animal using only characters on your keyboard, oh, and go ahead and throw in an uppercase letter while you are at it.”  This is just way too much to have floating around in my brain.  Hopefully I am keeping hackers from getting all up in my business.  Hashtag this:  How does 1234 sound to you?

Spring Pedicure

        Spring is in the air and it is time for a little foot pampering. This is that time of year when women quit wearing closed shoes and/or boots. This might come as a shock to men, but at this point, most women have….well shall we say 7-11 feet. You know it is time for a pedicure when you can exfoliate one foot with another. I just recently had my first “time to shed my shoes pedicure”…..it was wonderful! However, the exfoliating scrub on my legs did not last as long as I wanted it too….probably because I did not pay for the Spa Special Fruity Tuti Not so Cheap Pedicure. Footnote: I don’t care how cold it is outside tomorrow, I am wearing my flip-flops to show off my pedicure. No, that is not really my foot in the top picture.

Yoga

          My grandson, Cross, was born with his legs up around his head, and he was perfectly content to keep them there. He looked like he had been practicing yoga in the womb and was really good at it.  He was so flexible that with ease he could do the Reclined Spinal Twist pose.  Swaddling him in his baby blanket was like trying to swaddle a baby orangutan. I came across this adorable puppy picture recently and guess who he reminded me of?  Yep, Cross!  Footnote:  Cross’ legs are no longer up around his head….they are now straight down and running full speed ahead experiencing all life has to offer.

High Heels Ouch

   Sliding my foot into my daughter’s red and gold high heels, I envisioned myself walking down the hall with a sharp click, click, click. Actually, I only tried on one heel because once I attempted to stand in it, my inner voice said, “Are you crazy?” So, I have now decided, high heels, ain’t nobody got time for that!

Germs at School

      Teachers are definitely on the receiving end of potential germs. We hear hacky coughs around the room, as wads of used Kleenex are piling up on desks. While peering into droopy eyes, I remind myself that germs are lurking on desks, pencils, and writing assignments. My inner voice is saying, “Don’t touch your face, don’t touch your face; while my eye is screaming, “I itch!” Pass the hand sanitizer please. This doctor has some great advice; however, I am not sure how a teacher can honor rule #1 and keep their job! Hmmmmmm......
