Darn
I thought I was being sufficiently vague and discrete on here, when talking about school stuff. But older and wiser heads have told me otherwise. So I deleted my most recent post, and I'll delete any others that you guys think are out of line. In the meantime, where am I supposed to bitch about school if not on my "bitch about school" page???
Non-school stuff: The fair was awesome! In no particular order I:
-Saw the biggest pig I've ever seen in my life
-Saw some mutant pigeons, and asked Sam if we could buy one (they were only $10! He said no.)
-Ate a foot long corny dog
-Watched the 18th year of the bird show
-Got slingshotted (or just shot? is slingshot even a verb?) 220 ft in the air in less than 3 seconds...twice (P.S., that's a GREAT website, it goes into extreme detail...in case you ever want to buy your own.)
-Sat in a Yaris, the new car I want when I get a new car
-Watched drunk Longhorns and Sooners harass each other
-Saw a sculpture of Marylin Monroe and Frank Sinatra....made entirely out of butter
-Saw a cross-stiched portrait of Clay Aiken (it got second prize)
-Oh yeah, ate some fudge too.
Also, Sam and I made our combination birthday (both of ours)/two year anniversary plans. We're going on vacation.....to Oklahoma! Right before Thanksgiving. It'll be better than it sounds. We're going to the casino that's only about 45 minutes from our house, but we're staying in the nicest little B&B while we're there. It's also right near Lake Murray and Turner Falls, in case I get tired of slot machines (yeah right!) or run out of allotted gambling money. I'm really looking forward to it, since we've never been on a real vacation together before. :)
Anyway, enough of this. Love to all, even the anonymous student who wrote "bitch" on my door. I'll take it as a good sign that I'm not being too much of a pushover!

You're supposed to bitch about school on a website that hasn't got your name and photo on it. Bitching about coworkers on with your own name is like taggin a wall with your real name.

It's just that we would prefer you just be Crazy Aunt Lorien, not "Crazy Aunt Lorien Who Got Fired for Talking Smack About School." Then where would you get your casino money from?

Now that I've read your entire post, let me add:
Ironically, getting "Bitch" scrawled on your door is one of the highest honors you can receive as a teacher. It means you're getting to them. Do the really bad teachers ever get rude notes scratched on their door? No.

I was given this same advice not too long ago by someone - made me feel funky just trashing all my thoughts about things but I did it. And, I am glad.
I used to have a completely anonymous blog and it was a good place to "vent". But after a week or so I didn't want to anymore anyhow.
Those kids will take advantage and the need to know who's boss. Don't let them turn your passion into something you dread - it belongs to you, so does your classroom.
Good luck,
Angela
