Today at preschool I gave an impromptu lesson I never expected to give: why we do not play hide and seek with a shrimp that we brought from home (for lunch).

Also, apparently the lunches I packed when my kids were little were way too boring!

Am I the only one who doesn't appreciate the trend of fast food restaurant drive throughs requiring significant merging?

The Ides of March is Saturday. I hope every single middle, high school, and college English class is studying Julius Caesar right now. You know, for cultural literacy purposes.

Mainlining pepto bismol and praying that I kick this stomach bug this weekend. I’ve been sick all week, and I still feel miserable.

I was just congratulating myself for making it through epidemics of flu an and norovirus at preschool, and I woke up coughing and aching and shivering and super queasy. Ugh. Hoping it’s short lived. Need to be back at work Monday.
