THINGS THAT SOUND DIRTY ON HALLOWEEN BUT AREN'T:

10. She's a goblin!
9. I'd like to get a little something in the sack tonight.
8. Just get on your hands and knees and bob your head.
7. She's got a couple of nice pumpkins on her porch.
6. If you just lick it, it will last longer.
5. Let me see your big sack.
4. Can I eat your zagnuts?
3. Have your mom check it before you put it in your mouth.
2. You scared me stiff!

And the dirtiest sounding but not-dirty Halloween saying is...

He's got candy spread out on the living room floor!

In the final analysis, it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.

I went to Houston last weekend to see James. And two weeks before that. He's such a sweet sweet boy. But he got me sick, and now I have too much snot in my head. He's not sweet for that.

For the few Hobbs people that read this, I ran into Pam Cox tonight. She lives in Aubrey with her husband and 3 kids and is a realtor. She hangs out with Koko (Kori) Melvin and her husband and 2 kids because they live in Corinth! So weird! I was walking into Bed, Bath, and Beyond and I heard my name...and there she was!

My parents are moved in. They are officially Denton residents. I'm happy they are here, but will be really happy once they are settled.

Ok, I'm off to bed.

Coming from someone who doesn't like Halloween, this is super cool. I especially like the x-ray button.

We started measurement in my class today. I held up a regular ol' 12 inch ruler and ask them if they knew what it was.

Sweet boy #1: "Yes, it's a peter stick."
Me: "A meter stick?"
Sweet boy #1: "NO, a peter stick; my Daddy calls it a peter stick cause it's the same size as his peter."
Sweet boy #2: "Do you have a brother named Peter? A baby?"
Sweet boy #1: "Nope, don't know who peter is..."

I damn near died.

So I missed the actual Banned Book Week last week, but I'm just now getting caught up on my email. I am rather amused at the list of challenged literature. Kinda makes me feel like a rebel because I have read several from the list. Mostly Judy Blume books. I can't believe she would be challenged. She rocks.

SO my school has a new principal as of today. Actually, we were told Friday after school. My stress level is dropping daily...I am just very relieved. And my bruises are healing nicely too. :)

I'm going to go call Misti. I don't remember what her sweet voice sounds like it's been so long...
