Ouch goes the Meanie

Hey folks the mean one is recovering from spinal fusion and disc replacement, so maybe it was a good time to be laid off, if there is such a thing.
I am here hoping to have a job, waiting for a new grandson, and knowing I have tons of stuff to do and not wanting to do much of anything. The little girls are coming for the summer so I need to get my office/room that looks like a hurricane has just passed through it fixed up for them.
I have still been staying in pretty close contact with my former students. They have talked me into opening a MySpace page, and chaperoning their robotics fundraisers such as Activity night. They all get together, eat pizza, guzzle soda, play video games, watch silly movies, and just kick it together in general. They tend to complain that they aren't learning stuff like vocabulary, they don't like their new schools because they feel like outsiders, but the worst was when one of them said, "My new English teacher makes me feel small." Are there still teachers out there who fail to create a safe classroom where learning and the students are encouraged?! Please, it is time to retire. If you don't care anymore get out! I am dying to have your job!
On to something that won't raise my blood pressure. Went to see Ironman. Loved it. Going to see the Police with Elvis Costello this week, love that. Getting a new baby grandson any day now, really love that! The mean one strikes again, stay cool.
