Mamacita says: Most schools are in their last couple of months now, so I thought maybe it was time to post this again, in case a community is in the market for a new principal for next fall. If any teacher or parent has more ideas to add to this “list,” I’d appreciate hearing them. [...]

Mamacita says: The world is so full of lovely, kind, honest people. Seriously, I agree with Anne Frank, who said, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” How is it that in a world full of decent people, so many indecent and horrible people are able to rise [...]

Mamacita says: I’ll start this off with my usual flippant “Bring it on.” There is a child’s world, and there is an adult’s world. Often, they intersect. Sometimes, they don’t, and each is best kept in his/her proper section. Those who believe adults belong in every aspect of the child’s world are intruding, behaving inappropriately, [...]

Mamacita says: May you be buried in a casket made from the wood of a 100 year old oak That I shall plant tomorrow. Oh, tis a wondrous thing to be Irish, although the same could not be said earlier in our country’s history. Many people do not know how unwelcome the Irish were here, [...]

Mamacita quotes from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: Act 1, scene 2, 15–19 Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me? I hear a tongue shriller than all the music Cry “Caesar!” Speak; Caesar is turn’d to hear. Soothsayer: Beware the Ides of March. Caesar: What man is that? Brutus: A soothsayer bids you [...]

Mamacita says: Back when I was in college, one of my friends had a map of North America on a corkboard, hanging on his wall. When things were slow, we would take turns throwing a dart at the map, and wherever the dart landed, we would hop in a car and drive there. A couple [...]

Mamacita says: I haven’t watched the Oscars for years. It’s not because I don’t groove on the host; that’s often the best part. It’s not because I didn’t enjoy any of the nominated movies, although I seldom go to the movies because it costs so much now. It’s not because I don’t admire the [...]

Mamacita says: For Presidents’ Day, I thought I’d feature a quotation from each of our presidents. No matter what our personal opinion of a president might be, he is the leader of our nation and the position, if not the person, deserves some respect. It’s not Saturday, but let’s dive into some presidential quotations! 1. [...]

Mamacita says: It’s Valentine’s Day, and since many people associate this day with Cupid, let’s talk for a moment about the REAL Cupid. Well, the real mythological Cupid. Cupid is not a fat naked baby, flying around shooting arrows into people to make them fall in love with the first living thing they see, causing [...]
