Maaaaaaaaybe..

Can you believe I’m the only one in the family that made Old Mill? Did you see me when I ran? Did you see me when I kicked the ball? Did you see my new bow? Do you know how old Geno is? Are you coming to my house? Can I ride in your car? Did you know I can use my tummy as a drum? Did you know sometimes I smell my “armpicks”? Do you have a husband? Do you have kids? Do you teach second grade again? What do your students call you? Is that really your last name? Did you know we have another house? Do you like my dog Oreo? Did you know I like Oreos the most in my family? Can you make me a taco? Can you make me another taco? Do you know that shin guards make your legs feel warm? Do you know why my shirt feels so smooth? Do you like my unicorn pants? Are those skinny jeans? Do you wish you had TwinkleToes shoes too? Did you see my shoes light up? Can you see if they have fun dip? Can we pet the baby alpaca? Did you see that baby turtle? Will a pig make my hand slobbery? Can you carry me? Can I carry you? Do you want another Twizzler? You really like Twizzlers don’t you? Can we go on the hay ride? Can you really carry me now? Do you know my Lita? What did Lita look like when she was little? What was her last name? What was her mom’s name? Did she have a boyfriend in high school? Why do they play sad music on Teen Mom? Why is she doing that? Where is she going? Why is Sophia so strange? Do you want to be on Teen Mom? Can we get sunglasses like that? Where’s Nora? Can we call Nora? Do you have Snapchat on your phone? Would you get mad if I licked your neck? Do you like crispy Snickers? Did you know Isaac can’t use his phone anymore because he got in trouble? Did you know Iyari said the F word one time? Do you know how to spell the F word? What does it feel like when Itzel drools all over you? What does this word say? Where is my slinky? Remember when I fell down the stairs? Do you know my Tia Crystal’s eyes are big? Can you spend the night? Do you want the tour? When the new house is finished then can you spend the night? Will you marry me, my lady? 

I've only been there a few times and all the ones I've heard were great. This will be a wishlist. 1. Never Ever Getting Rid of Me from Waitress2. The Winner Takes it All from Mamma Mia3. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins4. Seize the Day from Newsies5. Maybe from AnnieHon. Mentions: You'll Be Back from Hamilton, Dawn from Jersey BoysAll from the musical versions, not movie. Just give me any showtune that I can sing along to honestly.

Happy Hamilton Eve! Tomorrow is the day. I'm pumped. Instead of texting my cousin repeatedly to see if his wife had the baby, I'm just watching to see if she's actively liking things on Instagram. Three days after the due date and still no baby Sara [I'm just assuming she'll be named after me]. My cousin was at both Jays/Rangers games the last couple days and has been taunting me with pics. He's a Yanks fan but lives in Texas. Elvis threw him a ball yesterday. I've got the Jays in the family bet. Mostly, I'd just like it to be anyone but the north siders.. I only know one person running the marathon tomorrow. It's weird. I had jury duty this week and actually got called into the courtroom. Didn't make it to questioning but at least it was twenty less minutes of sitting at a table. The rest of the time I graded, watched The Flash, New Girl, Dance Moms and Iliza's webisodes on the ABC app. Accomplishing day. None of the Chicago shows (Fire, PD, Med) are on Netflix and I was going to start one this weekend. Will someone do my homework? Cousin's wife just liked someone's pic of an ikea purchase. Still no baby.

My district has tech aides instead of actual teachers in our computer labs. This means they are not certified, can literally be anyone off the street and don't actually have to have any kind of tech background. Obviously this means we get the cream of the crop. Our first week of lab I didn't know what to expect so I had my kids bring their writing journal so they could type the paragraph they'd created about meerkats. Tech aide took over and had them googling "meekrats" and saying it that way for most of the class despite my and my students trying to help him out. Come on, man! This week at our staff meeting, he presented on "BrainBop" since our district just purchased it. In a room full of educators, he continued to mispronounce it. In addition to him yelling at my kids when they don't know how to do something instead of actually teaching them and allowing them to practice, I'm not sure how many mispronounciations I'll be able to handle. At my other school, I ran my whole lab time for my class unless she had something to teach. Supposedly there's an actual curriculum but other than opening Word to type their name and school, I've seen nothing. But here, Meekrats and BrainBop it is..
