Well...today I walked into a vandalized classroom. That classroom was mine. I've been egged (2x) and now spraypainted and books trashed. It's frustrating. It hurt my feelings. But, I'll go back tomorrow, smile, and tell them welcome back (Today was a teacher workday.)
Hopefully some of the things I do make an impact. Things like turning the other cheek when you really want to punch someone. I try wholeheartedly to practice what I preach---especially in front of my kids (both personal and school.) I've always believed in justice, that good things happen to good people. But as I get older, who knows anymore. I'll add the little angels to my prayers tonight and have a better day tomorrow. Good night.

Teaching, Talking and Teenagers...oh my
This is such an interesting week at my school. It's homecoming and apparently the kids think it's vacation time. They're wild and crazy! Me, I'm just CrAzY. Here are the pictures of the flowers I've always called fire flowers. Being able to come home and see things like this make it all better! There's also a pic of Mama's persimmon tree. The only thing I know to do with them is make persimmon bread. Any other suggestions?

The demon seed---Golden Rainshower trees
They are the bane of my existence. As you see, they grow anywhere and they LOVE my rain gutters. These pics are from my yard and Mama's. The biggest(the full shot) tree is the one in her yard that started it all. It was beautiful outside this morning. The air was a little cooler and there was a light fog. Ah, fall in Florida. More outdoor pics from this morning to follow.
