I have a lot more meal prep to do tonight so here are tonight's THOUGHTS BEFORE BED, a little earlier than usual. #YoureWelcome

1. Today, a woman driving a bright yellow car nearly hit me as she sped about 50 MPH through the crosswalk by the doors at Walmart. She nearly dropped her phone & her cigarette when she screeched to a halt a foot away from me.

2. #Irked (That's how I feel when someone takes my humor and turns it into an opportunity to teach me a lesson.) 🙄😐

3. Some folks work overtime trying to be profound.

4. That said... "We should be the answer to our ancestors' prayers." (Sean Sherman, Sioux)

5. The other day, a couple of the kids in my 8th hour were having a hard time. One was sort of unusually defiant & the other was so sad. I took them both to the hallway to talk & finished with hugs. Then my co-teacher joined in a group hug with us. Returning to the room, I asked if anyone else needed a hug before we moved onto something new. One by one, hands went up. I walked the room and hugged my kids until nearly half the class was hugged. Then, we moved on. Some days, it is NOT about English. #hugastranger #hugyourkids #hugyourcoworkers #HUGSOMEBODY

6. I wish I could sleep past 6AM on the weekends. If that's not possible, I would at least like the motivation to actually GET OUT OF BED when I wake up.

7. Rachel Leigh Cook might be one of my least favorite actresses. #Hallmark

8. Quiet joggers... the kind that sneak up behind you and scare the crap out of your dog... are pure evil.

9. I don't know if you heard but TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD has been banned in Mississippi. Banning a book is just motivation for me to teach it. :)
