Does Pixie Dust Help with Decision-Making? A 2012 PTR! NEW! 6/30 pg.85

Mice in your classroom definitely doesn't sound pleasant!!! I hope that's worked out soon!!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I can definitely identify with life getting in the way. But I can't identify with rodents (other than Mickey) getting in the way. That really stinks for you! Ugh, I hope that gets taken care of soon.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh no! I knew that you had one little pest in your room, but more? I had no idea!

I hope they do move to friendlier living quarters....

 

[Charleston Princess]

LOL, I can relate to the school work. For some reason, writing IEPs is not as fun as Disney trip planning and now learning how to plan for the DARK SIDE.

But rodents in your classroom?!? YIKES!

Nope, IEPs and the other paperwork required in teaching is just not as fun as planning park days.

Mice in your classroom definitely doesn't sound pleasant!!! I hope that's worked out soon!!!

Me too! The custodian keeps telling me they have moved on, but I think he is just saying that to make me feel better.

Thanks! If everything would just calm down a bit, I would be much less stressed.

Yes, there was that first one on January 13, followed by two more on January 20 (one of those may have been the first one since it wasn't caught), and then two more on January 24. Ugh. The kids ask me everyday when they come in if there has been any more mouse sightings.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I don't think I would be able to function with mice around!! I certainly hope they have moved on!!!!

Good luck with soccer and your classes. Hope you can fit trip planning in from time to time since we all know the planning is an integral part of the fun and anticipation!!!

 

[MeMom]

I am already tall, but I might be teaching standing on a stool until all the mice were gone! I might just resort to wearing stilts! I can totally empathize, because we had them in our school last year, but I am VERY happy to report no sightings this year. (Hoping I didn't just jinx myself.)

It's exciting to hear about soccer starting up. That will keep you plenty busy. I recall those days fondly - starting practices in the cold, lots of playing in the rain and rained out games, and ending in the heat come tournament time.

Here's hoping you can sneak a little Disney into your paper. It will make it a tiny bit more bearable. I don't know that you'll be getting much DIS time over the next few months, but it should certainly make the weeks zoom by bringing trip time to you before you realize it!

We will see you guys at Wigd's Stormalong Bay gathering or somewhere else along the way. I think Anita said something about getting a group together at Beaches & Cream at some point, so maybe there. Who knows? I am hoping we can have one 'cross paths moment' while Jill and Bella are still there. Maybe another Small World ride or Jungle Cruise or something. Maybe Living with the Land? I'm thinking of things that have room for lots of people. We haven't begun any daily scheduling yet. I do know that we will be there 21 weeks from yesterday.

With so many cats in my house....we never have a mouse problem inside.
But they do bring home all the "mousy gifts" they catch outside.
Sorry you had to go through all that. Let's hope they are all gone now.

I hope you have a great soccer season with a lot of wins!!!

Your DIS meet sounds wonderful...Stormalong Bay or Beaches & Cream. Two awesome places I have never been.

 

[Happydog]

So tell me, where can I find a Tokyo Sunset? The saki bar? I'm guessing Japan and I have no idea where the place is but I'm going to find it in March and try it out, just for you!

NOT that she will remember, but we ALL had Tokyo Sunsets together at the F & W festival in October.. LOL!!!! SO Ms. Anita, you HAVE had a Tokyo Sunset... Megan can remind you

Jackie, I totally get real world work getting in the way, that was my deal last week, too... and the count down with my magnet screening and selection process as well as course registration is a total whirlwind for me these next few weeks.. the good news is that a cruise is at the end of the tunnel....

 

[Native NYer]

I think I have T-Rex pics on FB. I'm going to repost them today.

I hope things quiet down for you soon! This time of the school year is always so busy.

 

[ampc3]

I've been such a bad diser lately.... I've tried to keep up with everyone's PTR's that I've been following, but to hard to always comment.. Saw about your "little friends" on FB... I would go nuts! must have a little family somewhere

if I remember correctly you are staying at POR this time? That is where we stayed our last family trip you will love it sooo pretty... We loved Ohana, and plan to do that again next time.

I have to say I just found HappyDog's TR's (about a million of them lol) haven't commented on any of them yet...: but have been sucked into ALL of them! of course I am dying to take a cruise some day!! so Happy Dog if you see this... love your TR's and family

 

[DisMomAmy]

Yikes! Mice in the classroom! That's no good at all!

 

[MEK]

I read about your rodent problem on FB, but I didn't know your total count was up to 4. UcK!

However, your mice pictures are adorable.

42 girls for 18 spots is pretty impressive. That must have been a difficult decision during the try outs. I think you need a B team with all those girls. It must be nice to live somewhere where the weather is good enough for try-outs.

Looking forward to a trip planning update. I am still keeping the crab nachos on my list after your last update.

 

[MHTeacher]

Sadly, reading about the effects of great teachers on student learning is not nearly as exciting as trip planning.

I must agree. As much as I tell my students that math is the MOST exciting thing, it does pale in comparison to trip planning!

I remember, I remember!!!

I just want to make sure that I get another one in March! I just might have a new favorite drink...
Step aside slushie.

 

[eandesmom]

As sad as I am for you about the mice, I did love your book blog on it!!!!

YAY for soccer starting, I know it's nuts but it is a fun kind of nuts.

The way we keep growing with this trip we may need Ellen.

No step aside, just put in the other hand. They seem to be adding more cocktails in WS. We should be able drink around the world that way soon. Except now we may not make it all the way around.





ICK - rodents in your classroom. Nothing like little furry creatures to keep you on your toes in the classroom. Tip toes that is.

I hope things ease up a bit and you get into a nice routine soon. I have started several things before other things have ended and I am still not quite sure where I am going most days.

 

[brookelizabeth]

And I feel like this was aptly named -- the American Dream -- it has certainly played a large role lately in my daydreams -- softserve ice cream and slushie stuff. Yum!!!

Catching up...from last year!

The American Dream is deeeeeeeeeelish!!!!! I had one in August, it is the perfect warm weather treat!

Your trip binder is adorable, very nice work! And your ADRs look awesome. You will all love 'Ohana!

I hope they have gotten those mice taken care of, I cannot imagine being able to fully concentrate with the thought of them making an appearance at any time, dancing in your head! And I completely agree with you...while they don't scare me, I DON'T like them. We occasionally have one that likes to visit us as well.

Getting caught up Jackie

Understand how the crazies of life get in the way of Dising

Hope the mice issue will be under control soon...euw!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Oh my goodness! You sound incredibly busy!! Good luck with everything! I read your post about the mice on FB! YIKES!!! I can't stand rodents!!!! Expect, as you said, ones affiliated with the Walt Disney Company! I hope you get them all!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Jackie! I did see your FB account of the mice visitors! I hope you can get someone to find out where they are coming from and take care of them. Of course, I have an answer, but it's not very PC.

I've been really busy, too, so I don't get caught up as often as I would like. I'm glad your planning is in full swing - that's almost as fun as doing, I think!
