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.

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 [...]

Mamacita says: I just got back from BlogIndiana a couple of hours ago, and I think I’m going through withdrawal.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
