Mamacita says: I posted this in 2006, but I’ve been thinking about this same thing all day so here it is again. My blog, my rules. Here’s the post: Is anyone else out there lucky enough to have a job that makes you so happy that all you have to do is walk into the [...]

Mamacita says: These are, of course, Things Nice People Already Know. Basic Elevator Etiquette for Dummies: 1. Push the appropriate button. If the button is already glowing, do not push it. If you repeatedly push an already-glowing button, everybody will know what you are. 2. Stand back. LEAVE ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO EMERGE FROM THE [...]

Mamacita says: Why is this day a holiday in most communities? (This community doesn’t consider it a holiday, but that’s typical for this county.) (None of our schools closed. None of our schools has EVER closed for MLK Day.)(They don’t close for Veteran’s Day, either.) However, intelligent, sensitive, educated people understand that today deserves respect [...]

Mamacita says: Let’s talk about simple, basic, seasonal etiquette. Where is it? I will never understand why some people feel they have to be so defensive and hostile all the time. These people whine “insensitivity” but the truth is, THEY are the ones who are insensitive. This time of year, in particular, one reads article [...]

I’m running this again because that house down the road has put up those depressing blue lights again. Mamacita says: A house down the road from us has deep blue lights festooning its shrubberies, hanging from the eaves, and framing the windows. Their tree is white and covered with blue lights. It’s a beautiful blue [...]

Mamacita says: I see no real harm is a cat in the kitchen unless it walks across your plate. Or sheds a lot. Or thinks it’s a human and demands its own place setting and chair, but I can deal with that. As long as it’s sitting in a chair and has its own plate, [...]

I love children, and I love students of all ages, and I love teaching, and I love genuine education in all of its 6-degrees-of-separation wonder. Everything is connected – everything in the known and unknown universe is connected. Nothing exists only within the four walls of a classroom. It often happens – I sincerely hope [...]

Mamacita says: First of all, I despise censorship. Banning books is akin to banning people; both are abhorrent to the collective intelligence, and both bring us down as a culture. It’s one thing for someone to decide that a certain book will not be allowed in his/her house – every parent has that right – [...]

I’m re-running this post from over three years ago because, you know, deja vu and stuff like that. Mamacita says: I got home from class late tonight, around 9:30, and had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for supper. (We have less money than usual this week. Ouch.) As I looked at the containers, and [...]

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 [...]
