Pulled up to my kids' school right as something big was about to go down in my audiobook, so...
They won't mind if I'm 10 minutes late, right?

I had a dream in which I was brainstorming a new book idea with a group of high-profile book people, and a very famous author who I don't much like turned to me and asked if I wanted her to write the book instead because then readers would actually enjoy it.
What is my brain trying to tell me?

Teacher-tired is realizing AFTER you've sat down for the first time all day that you also haven't peed all day and you're about to burst BUT... the thought of actually putting energy into standing and walking to the bathroom is just too much.

I just love finding old notebooks and flipping through them to see what I wrote way back when.
On one page, I have deep concepts I want to explore on future projects.
On the next, I have, "two corndogs"

Some days, you run your classroom like a master at your craft.
Other days, you superglue all your fingers together in front of a class of 15 year olds.

It feels crazy even typing this, but as many of you know I live in Kansas City. Born and raised here. I love this city.
And what should have been a day of celebration was ruined today, by senseless gun violence.
But also by terrible gun policy.
I'm safe. My family is safe.

A student told me she's keeping track of the books she reads this year by crocheting a granny square for each book, and I am absolutely stealing this idea.
I'm planning patterns by genre, colors by book covers.
I'm honestly so excited by this project. Give me all the book recs!

Sister: I just started reading Pride & Prejudice. It is hilarious!
Me: Yeah, Jane Austen is really funny.
Sis: It reminds me of Bridget Jones.
Me: ... that's because Bridget Jones is based off P&P...
Sis: Oh, that makes sense. I thought it seemed really similar.

Is it considered self deprecation if I describe cello players as the comic relief of the orchestra in my current WIP, or is it just accurate?
