OMGWTFSOK?!

The week is just shy of half over! I am not on my game. I keep having to interrupt my classes to take my kids to the computer lab for stupid reading tests. You may recall that they just took monthly tests at the end of October. Next week they are taking "level" tests. Then it'll be time for another monthly test. Sounds dreamy, right? Getting small children to listen in a foreign language is tiring and stressful, especially with the lab is, shall we say, not a shining paragon of modern efficiency.

Apparently next week is Thanksgiving! I don't know that I would have even thought about it if it weren't mentioned. One of the teachers has brought up doing something (even if it's something as minor as going to the Outback Steakhouse next door) after work. I'm not sure how I feel about all this but happy ain't it. At any rate, the Sock Goblin or whatever has been at it again...

I feel your pain. Is it sockicide that is happening? Will you end up hopping on one foot because you have only one sock? You are right to be disturbed by this development.

RE: The bug lady

i can't find the video about the bug lady however: I HAVE NEWS.

The first "sign" you tried is the ASL sign for "sea turtle". I had some difficulty demonstrating the second sign you attempted to use. Our conversation in sign and oral language related to these became hysterical by all involved - my deaf students, interpreters and me. The closest thing we could come up was "crazed bunny". I am sure the bug lady was thrilled to know you had neither in your apartment. It was difficcult to explain why I needed to know these signs because they are not frequently used in every day language. But inquiring minds always want to know....

November 16 is an important day....
