The Art of Paying Attention

"What do we do when we finish?"- This question will probably haunt me for all eternity as it's one I hear all day, everyday. It haunts me because I ALWAYS explain in detail what should be done when one might finish whatever we are currently working on. Usually "what you do when you finish" is accompanied by a worksheet or a map already sitting on a students desk so you think that'd tip them off. And yet, without a doubt, one or two students will ask that dreaded question. In one class, it's the same girl every single time. When she says "what do we do when we finish?" I want to scream at her...HOW ABOUT PAYING ATTENTION?!

but that's not nice, so I don't.

my husband, the heartbreaker

While watching the Bachelor "After the Final Rose" train wreck show last night, I couldn't help but enjoy hearing David laugh and watching him squirm at the incredibly uncomfortable situation going on. You see, apparently he had been in quite a similar circumstance back in high school. If you didn't see the season finale, let me explain a bit. Jason chose Melissa, breaking Molly's heart. However, after choosing Melissa he decided he made a mistake and in the aftershow, broke up with Melissa and professed his love to Molly.

outrageous right? apparently not if you are one Mr. David Haslam. now I absolutely chalk that up to high school immaturity and who hasn't done rediculous things back in the day. the person writing this had a pathetic crush on the same person for four straight years. love causes people to do crazy things.

however, this does sort of leave me wondering, with all his "love em and leave em" stories, how did I nail that man down?!
