So, what to post today? I have spent a wholly unexciting week at home not getting the things done thet I need to, such as attempting to secure a post-school-year job. There is also the basement and garage over here that need some attention. And of course the blogging that I’ve ignored- sorry readers and […]
When one goes on a trip, they all go. I really need more readers for my blog. Sigh. Well, on the lighter side is a look at some weird computer keyboards I just read about on another site. Here are just two examples: Just click here to go to PC Worlds’s article and read about
Private school is where it’s at these days. Want proof? Just check out these pictures I took today (yes, with my cellphone- why, can you tell? 😛 ) in the preschool classroom room at my church (where they have school during the week): 😀 Oh yes, click for larger pics! 🙂 Derek

Yes, hate- a stong word for someone such as myself. Here’s the new thing in IL- mess up and forget to register your plates on time and you have to jump through bureaucratic hoops. I noticed yesterday my plates were expired. Oops- they sent me notice two months ago but it got buried and forgotten.

(From now I won’t add graphics to every post to save on time for me, and prevent scroll-wheel syndrome for my fellow readers with paltry sub-1080p screen resolutions 😛 ) There have been some strange advertisement campaigns in the past, but this is the first time I have heard of one like this.

This week certainly had some surprises, starting off on Monday morning. Having been extremely lucky, or so I thought, with a five-day assignment in 4th grade, I was a little surprised when the phone rang early Monday. Uh-oh. Yep, job canceled. It seems the school decided to use “one of their own” since it was

(imagine a picture here that I’m too tired to make right now) A little drama in accepting assignments- is the job his, or isn’t it…? Can eighth grade LD/BD kids really be quiet? What happens when a hand is put in front of the face of an autistic child who doesn’t want to work? Tune
Being that it’s been five days since my last post, I would suppose it’s time to write something again. But what? I suppose I can write about this weekend. This post will actually go back a bit though, since earlier events pertain to this weekend. For the most part the weekend was quite ordinary. 4th/5th
