carrie in chaos: October 2012
http://carrieinchaos.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Escaping from the chaos to communicate the chaos and depending on Jesus to keep the calm. Saturday, October 20, 2012. When life feels like a lemon, just add some sugar. I was really trying to be optimistic about going back to work. But inside, I was weeping. The anticipation of saying goodbye to these faces each day, made my heart sink. Wednesday came with a meltdown. Some sweet new friends knew it was Jason's birthday week. And graciously offered to babysit so we could get a date. On a separate note.

Misadventures of an English Teacher: Sh!t My Students Say
http://whatarewesupposedtobedoing.blogspot.com/2014/01/sht-my-students-say.html
Misadventures of an English Teacher. Saturday, January 25, 2014. T My Students Say. During Leadership, we were talking about the activities for the upcoming rally. We always have a competition between grade levels, where we play part of a song, then turn it off, and the class has to finish it. We joked about giving the 6th graders something really silly like "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.". Then Ruben says, "I always mess up that song. It's the knees and toes part that gets me.". Hyperbole and a Half.

Misadventures of an English Teacher: March 2013
http://whatarewesupposedtobedoing.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Misadventures of an English Teacher. Monday, March 25, 2013. The other day, I started thinking about derby and my place in it, what it means, how it has changed my life, and what a crazy, insane subculture it is. Above all else, it is a sport. Those who don't understand it often ask questions like, "So, you beat people up on skates? It's fake like wrestling, right? And, a favorite among the derby community, "Where's the ball? There are rules. Say whaaat? One of the skate pad companies, donated all new pa...

carrie in chaos: June 2012
http://carrieinchaos.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Escaping from the chaos to communicate the chaos and depending on Jesus to keep the calm. Wednesday, June 27, 2012. In a dark room. Im sitting in a dark room right now. This has become a bit of a routine lately. You see, the little one has a weird obsession with hair. Her own, and other peoples (i.e. her big sister). She likes to play with it.and pull it. This especially becomes an issue at bedtime. Sweet-sleeping Aidan wakes up to find Haley right in her face pulling on some curls. Monday, June 11, 2012.

Maybe World's Best Mom Wears Crocs - Semiproper
http://semiproper.com/maybe-worlds-best-mom-wears-crocs
Maybe World’s Best Mom Wears Crocs. One thing I originally thought was weird but that I’m super into now is that Remmy is required to write with a fountain pen at her school. A super fancy buy-the-ink-cartridges-separately fountain pen. Had it been my preference, I would have thrown a box of Bic Stics in her backpack and called it a day. Like, I’m standing up right now with my Merriam-Webster dictionary over my heart, waving palm fronds in the air because I love that. I got it and I was like. Remmy, woul...

PSA: It Might Just Be Cranky Resting Face - Semiproper
http://semiproper.com/cranky-resting-face
PSA: It Might Just Be Cranky Resting Face. At the conference in Orlando last month, I approached a friend who was standing inside a room, and she looked mad. I walked up to her and was like, “Hey, what’s wrong? 8221; She told me nothing was wrong, and I gave her a look and I’m all “No really, are you okay? 8221; because we’re friends like that and I can push a little with the questions. She responds, “What, is it my face? Roo, I just have bitchy resting face, okay? OH Oh, okay. Jen @ the well read fish.

Misadventures of an English Teacher: On Getting Back on the Horse
http://whatarewesupposedtobedoing.blogspot.com/2014/06/on-getting-back-on-horse.html
Misadventures of an English Teacher. Monday, June 16, 2014. On Getting Back on the Horse. I haven't blogged in a really. Long time. The last half of the year was insane. It's summer break, but I haven't really started yet. School got out on June 6th and I haven't stopped working. I've had Common Core workshops and now I'm in an AVID Critical Reading workshop. However, after tomorrow, I will be officially on break! On Facebook and it could not be more on point. I printed out a list of every single kid in ...

Misadventures of an English Teacher: September 2013
http://whatarewesupposedtobedoing.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Misadventures of an English Teacher. Monday, September 30, 2013. Exciting things are going to be happening in my AVID classroom. I can't wait to post all about it here, but my students don't know about it yet, so for now you'll just have to guess. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. I am not ashamed to admit that I'm pretty on top of current pop culture. I rarely hear my students talking about something and think, what is that? For an interactive whiteboard and a set of student clickers. Monday, September 23,...

This is How I Feel, Volume 52 - Semiproper
http://semiproper.com/this-is-how-i-feel-52
This is How I Feel, Volume 52. This is how I feel. If you’re new here (hello! This is How I Feel happens on Fridays, reflecting my deep, deep love of GIFs and dumb captions. When out with a group of friends: “Where do you guys want to go to eat? 8221; “Um, IDK, how about that place on Temple? 8221; “I was there last week.” “No Chinese.” “I’m vegan again.” Meanwhile I’m slowly dying of starvation…. When there’s a line behind me and I’m trying to pick out a movie at Redbox. Want more This is How I Feel?
