Class wasn't as bad tonight.....I did do a "pulloff" though. That's when a trick goes wrong and you can't hold the bar any longer. Actually, that's how I tore my my right hand. The left was from hesitating instead of poping into a back ended bird's nest. sigh. I WILL get this. <img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l286/danastone/trapeeze/DSC00513.

Dear, have you ever considered that the two (trapeze lessons and massage) might present a conflict of interest in regards to your hands? *fingers in ears* LALALALALALALAAAAAAAA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!!!! Actually, this is the first time my hands have been this bad. Most of the time, with a

Have you ever completed an amazingly hard physical challenge and had the scars to show at the end? Even though your feet are blistered from running a marathon or your body just aches, it's okay...the pain is a badge of pride and just shows how hard you worked.... Today wasn't one of those days. After a little more than a week off, I had the chan

We need our educators to realize that not every student is going to college. Not every student can, not every student should. I have very mixed feelings about denying them a high school diploma simply because they are not college material. But this wasn't College material....I could see how it was the bare m

This is just a bunch of random stuff that makes me happy to be a mom.... Connor was playing a friend's house last week. He decided to teach his friend to to trapeze tricks....in the bedroom closet, on the clothes rod. They were frustrated by the shelf that "made us not go upside down" but still had a blast doing tricks. *big grin* I love my kid!

I just took the English portion of the TAKS test......I would be happy the kids actually graduated with enough skill to pass the test. It would prep them for Comp 1 at the very least, which BTW, I just took a few weeks ago. Anything less than that is not going to prep them adaquately for life or further education. That being said..... There were a few questions that I did think were intentionally missleading or phrased in souch a way tha

No, I don't pity our nation, not yet. But I am disgusted with the path we're on, and I see it ending in a pitiable place. A pitiable place indeed. That is why I pity our nation...not as it is now...but as it will inevitably be if we continue down this path.

As I scrolled through the comments, my long comment seems to be missing, so let me summarize. I agree that teaching to the test is doing out kids a disservice. Even when I was in school, I knew I was getting a second rate education. I realized that I didn't understand a lot of US History and Government, even though it was a mandatory course to graduate. The teacher preped us well, everyone passed the class if they paid attention. The probl
