I don’t know about where you live, but we here in Tulsa have been having the craziest mix of weather I’ve seen in awhile.
Example: Yesterday we topped out at 62 with lots of sunshine and pretty strong winds out of the south. Then, at about 6pm, a cold front pushed through, the temp dropped 20 [...]

Silhouette of what once was a huge pecan tree, decimated by ice and wind.

Prima Donna Daughter hugging another broken pecan tree. She said it must have hurt when the branches broke like that. Notice how one of the limbs came down with such force it punctured the earth and is stuck there without any support. [...]

Second Son had a friend over for the weekend (a friend who’ll likely get nicknamed Adopted Son because he’s pretty much campaigning for me to take him in and finish raising him, but that’s for another post) and Prima Donna Daughter was feeling very Prima-Donna-ish due to lack of attention and being deemed the pest, [...]

They were “in costume” for one of the songs her class was doing in [...]

Ok, maybe I won’t ever “get it”. I just don’t get how a certain someone could consider it any kind of evil-doing on my part to send his daughter to stay the weekend with him. I just don’t get how I end up in the bitch category for that. Particularly when we have no [...]

Well, I declared that back on June 21, 1981 when I was shanghaied and dumped moved here. But I was 17 at the time and had a bad attitude.
And as I’ve stated before, I’ve had plenty of time to leave, so I try to keep my disparaging remarks to a minimum. But this declaration does [...]

I only WISH I appeared this calm, cool and collected to my students this morning!
It was…one of THOSE mornings…
I had woken up at 5:30am, glanced at the clock, and happily turned over and burrowed back under the covers for another hour of slumber.
