Playground Politics? Really.

Mamacita says:  Let’s start the New Year with some opinionated rants. I am not an A-list blogger/social network updater. I’ve always been more than just a little bit quirky and nerdy, and I still am. I don’t care. I’ve never been cool. Not then, not now. I don’t care. (much) In my Reader/friend list/etc. are [...]

Things I Still Haven’t Done Yet

Mamacita says: what’s the hurry, anyway? 1.  I have never used an ATM machine.  I have a feeling it would be the beginning of a bad personal habit. 2.  I still have never watched a single Survivor-type show.  Still not interested. 3.  Ditto for Oprah, and even less interested. 4.  The Christmas wreath is probably [...]

The Twelve Rules of Christmas

Mamacita says: There are, of course Twelve Actual Rules of Christmas, according to the law, and in case you don’t know what they are and have intentions of storming the school or business that’s maliciously ignoring your rights as a Christian/Jew/Catholic/Protestant/Wiccan/Pagan/Atheist/Order of Elfland/Kisser of Mother Earth’s Backside, etc, perhaps y’all should take a glance at [...]

Lighten Up, Oh Ye Of Little, No, or Different Faiths

Oh jeepers gee WHILIKERS, one of my posts has been syndicated on my wondrous BlogHer! ======== Mamacita says:  Okay, so, today’s what, the 15th?  It’s time for another politically incorrect rant!  Be warned, oh overly-sensitive types born without the ability to discern. . . . I am a Christmas fanatic. I live for this season. [...]

One Is Silver and the Other, Gold.

Mamacita says:  Something some of you might not know about me is that I love meeting people, and I tend to strike up conversations with them without ever knowing their names.  I’m also a bit of a card shark. My specialty for this seems to be airports. A few years ago I was traveling with [...]

Agog Amidst A Gig

Mamacita says:  I love to attend conferences; I don’t know how people “keep up” with all the new “stuff” in any profession without going forth and finding out.  Quite honestly, I believe that to fully appreciate the honing of one’s skills by attending conferences, we simply must attend more than one kind of conference. In [...]

Quotation Saturday: Never Give Up, and Never Surrender *

Mamacita says:  We all need to be reminded sometimes – probably more often than we ARE reminded – that we are only human, and that we can’t do it all by ourselves. Fortunately, as John Donne liked to remind us, no man is an island.  This is the key to all education, no matter what [...]

A Good Principal’s Qualities

The Education Wonks did me the honor of posting my opinion of what makes a good principal on his blog several years ago, and speaking of the Wonks, I really hope he comes back soon. Most schools are in their last couple of weeks now, so I thought maybe it was time to post this [...]

Scheiss Weekly: Age Six

Mamacita says:  I’ve been blogging for six years now, and it has changed me.  Even the way I blogged in the beginning has changed.  I think that part has changed for a lot of people. When most of us first started putting bits and pieces of ourselves “out there” for “strangers” to see, we didn’t [...]

Sunday Songlist, Territory, and the. . . . RED PEN

Mamacita says:  the weekend is almost over – indeed, on Sunday afternoon, the weekend is as good as over because that’s when the depression starts, although it’s not as bad as it used to be.  More than anything else, it’s the “have to get up in the morning as normal people always do” that hits [...]
