Long Time No Write

Okay, sooo it has been a while since I've written in my blog...geez, it's only been 10 months - that's not even a year!

Well, to recap...I am no longer coaching debate and no longer at Hillcrest. I am...gulp...a Middle School English Teacher. I've been told that being such assures my place in the Celestial Kingdom but there are days that even that incentive becomes questionable. I suppose 45 years old isn't that much but my patience is not what it used to be. I have learned how to be more patient than I thought possible. There are days when I wonder why I went to college to have the pleasure of saying, "Tom, get up off the floor, we've talked about that!" or "Please, get off that student." or my colleague's favorite "Take the markers out of your nose!" These are 8th graders we're talking about; however, my family sees a lot more of me than they used to last year.

I will try to update this more often and...dare I type it? I plan on trying to write a complete short story before March is out. I will tell you my adventures of being prompted by someone who didn't even really know me to get published...so I am excited about it.

So glad to see youer blog post! I have been sorely missing you.

Middle School is a total mystery to me. I think it confuses kids. I suppose it is supposed to help them transition from grade school to high school, but I question how well it works. I think too much of middle school is kids trying to act like dumb teenagers who are aping immature adults. I think it would be better for them to be the mature ones and leaders in grade school than in that funny limbo land of middle school. I will say however, that my Ruth did have a very good middle school experience. That's one.

I am looking forward to your story. Any hints about what to expect?
