Six Word Saturday

Mamacita says:  Six Word Saturday is like a teeny tiny Twitter: it forces me to say “it” in a precise and stripped-down way.  Thank you, Show My Face. You don’t know me, but I found you on Magical Mystical Teacher. I wish the weekend lasted longer.

You’re Not The Boss of Me.

Mamacita says:  I think, sometimes anyway, that it’s when my students get into hot and heavy “discussions” – most of which I jump into as well, that I like my job the best.  The public school discouraged discussion; there were too many things to drill and practice before the almighty ISTEP, and besides, there was [...]

Quotation Saturday: Back to School

Mamacita says:  It is a sad and sorry thing that most public school children have been back in the classroom for a week or two, or more, by now.  Even though many schools are still not air-conditioned, kids have been sitting in crowded rooms, sweating together and looking longingly out of the windows – if [...]

Thises and Thats, Part 799

Mamacita says:  I would be very grateful indeed if you would go look at my review on this here other blog and comment.  Please?  I do not do paid reviews on this blog, as it is my personal journal and I just would not DO that to my readers, but on that other blog?  Bring [...]

It Ain’t Just Toddlers Who Melt Down

Mamacita says:  After a summer of rationalization and whining, I finally did get the yard work done today.  I feel so much better about my home when the lawn looks nice.  I do not want to be “THOSE people” when it comes to my lawn. I also HATE the sensation of wet grass slapping me [...]

Quotation Saturday: On Sunday, and From Hoosiers

Mamacita says:  I just got back from BlogIndiana a couple of hours ago, and I think I’m going through withdrawal. Hanging out with a large group of awesome people who understand the jargon and purpose of social media and blogging is such a wonderful experience, and I firmly believe that bloggers NEED each other and [...]

Ten Things Tuesday

Mamacita says:  It’s hard to type with a cat curled up on the keyboard. 1.  My two cats follow me all over the house, and lie down to nap only when I sit.  They fight over who gets to nap on the table by my left arm.  The loser naps on my feet. 2.  My [...]

Six Word Saturday

Six Word Saturday is something new for me, but already I like it. Thank you, Show My Face. You don’t know me, but I found you on Magical Mystical Teacher. Saturday afternoon, and I’m finally awake.

Quotation Saturday: Writing

Mamacita says: My obsession with writing has extended itself over into Quotation Saturday! 1. There’s nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. –Walter Wellesley “Red” Smith 2. The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable [...]

BlogIndiana, WordCamp, BlogHer, BlogWorldExpo, and Pickles

Mamacita says:   In a few days, I’ll be off to Blog Indiana – which you don’t have to be from Indiana to attend, why don’t all of you sign up, too? I’m hooked now on writing conferences.  Social media get-togethers have become my crack cocaine.  No longer do I have to cook my meth [...]
