Frog, Frogs, Arlo & Susie, The Frog Prince, and Me

May 24, 2011 – 3:00 am

Mamacita says:  Sometimes I wonder how I ever decided to become a teacher, what with my lower-than-low opinion of people who aren’t interested in lifelong learning, my intolerance and complete disdain of willful ignorance, my disregard of any rule that I personally find stupid, and my total lack of interest in staying inside any kind [...]

The Cream Deserves the Perks. The Dregs Do Not. Nice People Rule

May 19, 2011 – 6:00 pm

Mamacita says:  Most teens are far nobler and kind than the media would have us believe. The creeps, jerks, and bullies are the minority. I wish this minority didn’t get so much publicity. I know! Let’s give the majority of our attention, time, and money to the nice kids! What a novel thought. The lowest [...]

May 8, 2011 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says:  This Sunday will be, appropriately enough, a day filled with mothers.  Mine, my sisters, my niece, grandmothers, aunts, daughters, cousins, me. . . . all mothers, and several of them more than one KIND of mother.  (no, not THAT kind of mother.  Perhaps you were thinking of YOUR family?)  Many mothers. Once upon [...]

April is Poetry Month: William Wordsworth

April 3, 2011 – 8:58 pm

William Wordsworth She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways She dwelt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove, A Maid whom there were none to praise And very few to love: A violet by a mossy stone Half hidden from the eye! Fair as a star, when only one Is shining in the sky. [...]

There Are All Kinds of Enslavement

February 18, 2011 – 4:31 pm

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 [...]

Love Stays

February 14, 2011 – 3:09 am

Mamacita says:  Happy Valentine’s Day. Not because it’s a man-made holiday that exploits the guilt feelings of both men and women and forces them to go forth (or fifth) and spend a lot of money on flowers that will die and candy that will be eaten, but because it’s just one more excuse for people [...]

I’m really up for some good willie waught. Who’s with me?

December 31, 2010 – 3:50 am

Mamacita says:  Well, my dears, here we all are once again, celebrating another new year with our real life friends and our other real life friends.  Six years ago, I didn’t really consider my internet friends to be really and truly real, but I’ve learned better since the beginning. Online friends are as real as [...]

The Twelve Rules of Christmas

December 24, 2010 – 8:21 pm

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

December 15, 2010 – 8:26 pm

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. [...]
