I've come to realize I will never be rich...lol

I'm too much of a softy. Someone's doing a charity walk and needs a sponser..."Oh, here you go $10." Someone's kid is selling items for a school contest...."Oh, here you go $25 Someone doesn't have food in their house...."Oh, here you go...a bag of food." Arbor Day sends me something in the...

Sometimes I get sad when I'm around married people

I see my stepbrother and his wife and their little girl and how incredibly happy they are and I get sad. They are a whole loving family unit. It's inspiring to watch them. If they have problems, they work together to solve their differences. They respect each other. And they both work very hard at... Sign in to see full entry.

Snot nosed kids make me glad that I can't remember being that young

I thought the worst a kid could do was wipe their nose on the back of their hand, but I was wrong. The worst a kid can do is wipe their nose on your brand new eraser and pencil. What else could I do when the child handed me my pencil back but to say, "No, you can keep it." Haha At this rate I'll be... Sign in to see full entry.

S A Y W H A T ?

That's probably the first thing that came out of my mouth, although I was stunned speechless for a second; and then of course, I had to laugh at the ridiculousness of it. What am I talking about? One of the kids I tutor (age 4) saw a blender on his worksheet. He said my dad has one of those, and... Sign in to see full entry.

I seriously do not look my age, but 13 !

So today I was tutoring a kid in math at our local library. One of the librarians came up to us and asked if we were both 13. She was pretty close in guessing his age as he is 12. She was far off in guessing my age though because I just turned 33. I sat there in disbelief for a minute or so. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I think the dog just meowed.

So it's raining outside, pretty hard. It is also thundering out. I need to head out and get stuff done, but the rain is preventing me from doing so. I don't think I'll be like the Witch on the Wizard of OZ and melt, but I hate driving in this weather - the perfect conditions for a car accident.... Sign in to see full entry.

Where do kids get this stuff?

I teach creative writing classes to youth, and I also tutor them in math and reading. The other day I was with one of my students (she's five), and she looked at me for a few seconds, cocking her head from one side to the other before saying, "How come you don't brush your hair?" Oh dear me... Then... Sign in to see full entry.
