Dear Educator, Stop. Dear God just stop…

It’s eleven o’clock at  night.  The homework folder is already completed because I am a responsible adult and can read/follow instructions.  A reminder to send in a folder is not necessary, two is too much.  Especially at this time of night.  Would you call or show up at my house to remind me to sign a folder?  I didn’t think so.  A text is just as intrusive.  Adults should not have their hand held and you are not responsible for making sure that folder is in there.  We are. 

Would anyone die if that folder was late?

The fifteen text in two hours this weekend was obnoxious enough.  A text at 1:30 in the morning on Sunday? GO TO BED! You have over twenty something second graders in a few hours, get some sleep. Aren’t you married and have kids? They need you. GO TO BED.  Yes you are a wonderful teacher.  Yes you are dedicated. We are grateful for that. But this is over kill.  
While we’re at the over communication subject: I’m pretty sure between your class and the school an entire Amazon rainforest was killed in a glorious rainbow fashion.  I have a dozen emails in my box from just this week, at least three dozen texts because, again, we are responsible and involved.  Enough already.  I know everyone is not as responsible, but stop babysitting adults.  If they haven’t gotten one avenue of communication then they won’t get the others. Stand up for yourself and let them take the consequences.  Quit punishing us who are responsible with irritating over kill of communication.  Leave it at the door and be a human being after hours.  Let us be one too.

Sincerely,

Unsubscribing and formerly informed

    Leave. Us. Alone. lol
    My work does this too. Two weeks ago, after receiving a 6am Sunday morning text (after which I never went back to sleep), I passive aggressively ignored the text until Monday. :)

Health Foodie Loving More Veggies... because Bacon.

This would not be categorized as a vegetarian dish because of our bacon entanglement.  Also, I am literally eating my words on this whole "I won't eat brussel sprout thing." This collaboration of previous brussel sprout consumption dare and my ghost child's new professed love of goat cheese with bacon enhancement.  All culminating in a simple and quick delicious recipe.  Anyone has the time and skill for this.

Health Foodie in the Quest for Italian Do Over

I miss Italian food.  Watching all these food shoes makes it worse, unless it's the one where the "f" word guy goes back into the kitchen.  It's kinda like finding out what's in spam or hot dogs, wish you had never known.  Being in the GF life has severely limited our gluten free Italian options.  Finding a non crunch lasagna noodle takes a trek across town.  I am a label reading fool.  I have found some GF penne and rotini made with ancient grains- brown rice and quinoa.  Jumping up and down giggling my friends.  If it has corn in the ingredients, it's crunchy pasta. Gross. Lasagna was my go to comfort meal.  Other than the gluten issue, lasagna tends to be high in fat and calories. Not good for your waist line or brain power.  What's  health foodie to do for comfort food? Make a redo.  The difference in my creation from other recipes are the switch outs.  Still easy with the Italian comfort; yet, no meat/more veggies and a better ricotta-like stand in
