Today’s Continuing Education Chronicles… I’ve run out of time and curriculum so I’ve opted for weather courses. They are very interesting and no one student is trying to take over. However, I’ve had to listen to someone open all these tootsie rolls for the 3rd time. Twice Monday, today, and from what they said, they’ll… Continue reading 05.15.2019

Today’s End Of The Year Parenting Chronicles… Michai logged on to his school account from my phone so I get a notification anytime he goes on Google docs. This came today. He has always been literal and also very honest about things he’s passionate about. Global Warming is one of those things and he somehow… Continue reading 05.14.2019

Today’s Volunteer Chronicles Part 2…(Pastor Edition) I forgot to tell y’all this. My mother told us to never walk out of a store without our products in a bag because: 1. You don’t want people to think you’re stealing and 2. You don’t want people to know what you have Well, we pulled up on… Continue reading 05.10.2019 part 2

Today’s Education Chronicles… My student’s were so engaged today on our FINAL day together. Against my better judgement, I took them some cupcakes and I’m glad I did because they earned them. It was my mother’s idea so I guess mothers DO know best. While working on their activity, we needed some REAL glue so… Continue reading 05.02.2019

Today’s (A Whole Lot Of Stuff) Chronicles… Attended the AHA Go Red Luncheon. While it was quick, it was very informative! Nurse Valda sprinkled so much intentional and unapologetic Black Momma Magic in that room. She talked about there being 365 days in a year, 1,440 minutes in a day and 23,040 breaths taken in… Continue reading 05.01.2019

Today’s Football Mom Chronicles… In the event your 8 years with your current mattress has expired, here’s your opportunity to purchase a BRAND NEW (I don’t even know why this has to be stated because it should be against the law to sell used mattresses…has anyone watched Dateline?) Mattress Firm mattress at the non-Mattress Firm… Continue reading 04.30.2019

Today’s Parent Chronicles… I bought this shirt YEARS ago when it was “cute” to reference him as such. But since he has now been working out for ~5 days, he’s feeling himself and decided to wear it; wrinkled and tight (particularly on his arms). When I mentioned how it fit his arms and how long… Continue reading 04.26.2019

Experienced my next to last visit with my readers yesterday and it was the BEST visit this year. They were ready, engaged and excited to participate in all activities. I felt like it was an open door to do my usual pep talk about how learning to read will help keep them safe. The reader… Continue reading 04.25.2019
