mosquitos

Hi everyone! Not too much going on lately, I've just been extremely busy with school! Over the past weekend the rooms in the older part of our school, mine included, got new wallpaper. The room looks great, but now I've been busy all week rearranging the room and redecorating as well. We have a big event coming up at school, the Pajama Party, which also is requiring a lot of preparation. My boss is really stressed about it and wants everything to be perfect. I'm sure it will go well. At least her worries have given me good motivation to rearrange, organize, and clean my room, which is always on my list of things to do, but somehow never gets done. I have found that I'm an extremely messy teacher! My desk is always full of anything you could possibly imagine! To me it is organized chaos, to my Korean co-teacher, however, it is just a headache!

Other than school, my back is doing well so far. I went and got acupuncture in my back last weekend. It is an ancient Chinese medicine that is supposedly good for everything. I got 13 needles in my back and a couple going down my leg. I'm not exactly sure what I was supposed to feel from it or how it is supposed to effect my body, I suppose I need to do some research on that. I would have asked the doctor, but she didn't know too much English and didn't really give me too much information. At least I feel good, and I guess that is the important thing.

I took my kids to the park today because it was such a beautiful fall day! They are just so dang cute that I had to include some pictures of them!


I'm going to end on a completely different note. Some of you might know that I really dig spoken word poetry. I've recently come across a poet that I really enjoy both listening to and reading. His name is Tshaka, you can check him out at www.naturalkink.com
This is just a few lines from one of his poems, "Mosquitoes" that really made me think. Go ahead and chew on it for a while...

Cuz nothing matter anymore

Unless it affect us at the core

We forget what we just saw

adore making love to life In Nano seconds

ignore our responsibility to remember life

lessons get lost from the truth no less than 2 seconds after we've held its hand and claimed it as our own.

Don't ignore it
