All praises to teachers

I went with the kid's class to Tibet-Butler Preserve today, and came away not with new knowledge about nature but with even more respect for teachers (and as the daughter of a teacher, my respect level was already pretty doggone high).

Even though each child had a parent present ostensibly to keep everything under control, the energy and noise levels were incredibly high. Frustratingly high, in fact. Somehow, though, the preschool teachers managed to enforce order and, when warranted, encourage silence with a minimum of fuss. It was amazing.

They have skill sets I don't possess. It would be difficult for me to keep that number of children from accidentally maiming themselves each day.

Power and respect to them. They should be paid more highly.

Jeff Galloway's running program is awesome, and better than I expected

I'm doing Jeff Galloway's running program this session in a bid to (finally!) get myself to a marathon.

One of the people who is also doing the Galloway program summarized a bit of Galloway's inspirational message to all the enrollees last week.

Check out the summary at The Girl's Got Sole.

Mississippi Gov. Bryant antagonizes working moms

I wrote a post for Moms At Work today about Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant's comments today in which he blamed working moms for the "mediocre" U.S. education system.

Overnight oatmeal!

I was just thinking that I'd like to have oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow morning, and it occurred to me that I hadn't made overnight oats in a while.


I need to rectify that situation immediately.
