• Quotation Saturday: Community

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  “Community” is something that many people take for granted, and even discount or abuse, but when all is said and done, this “community” thing is the backbone of society.  Those of us who work in social media know this, but I wonder sometimes if everybody realizes how very, very important our ...

• The Mother from Hell.

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  Several years ago, back in the middle school, we had a student whose mother was referred to as “the mother from Hell,”  and everyone in the building knew exactly who we were talking about whenever someone said it.   She snooped through everything. She criticized the subject matter and placement ...

• Mamacita Likes Southwest Airlines

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Well, by now you all know me pretty well, and you know that I love kids. I love my kids, and I love your kids.  I also love most of you, and because I love most people, I made sure my own kids knew how to behave in public so you would not be inconvenienced, and I fully expect YOUR kids to know how, too.  And, I ...

• Happy Hallowe’en. Eat Up. Sing Along. Read Up. Jerk Down. Smash. Freeze. Blow Up. Enjoy.

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says: Of course, you all probably already know that if you mix candy corn and salted peanuts together in a big bowl, you’ve got handfuls of PayDay bar goodness. Peanuts are a meat substitute, and candy corn is pretty much fat-free (paraffin never hurt anybody) so really, a big bowl of candy corn and ...

• Social Media: An Innovative Way To Complete an Assignment

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  I have long been a fan of Chris Brogan, and now I think I might love him madly. As a teacher, I am always on the lookout for new and better things to do, and for  better ways to do what I have always done, and Chris’s daughter Violette has shown me yet another way that social media can be ...

• Things I Haven’t Done Yet

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  I’m listening to Straight No Chaser , and it’s impossible to be completely whiny when those blazingly, almost impossibly, talented guys are singing straight to me and me only. . . . I know they’re big stuff now, and I’m glad because they so totally deserve to be big stuff, but let it be ...

• Crabby Appleton Lives Here

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  I am very grouchy tonight. I’m not sure why – yes, I do* – but I’m really flashbacking to one parent conference after another: conferences that took place eight and ten and more years ago, even.  What the heck is up with me tonight? I am so sick, sick, sick of selfish grown-ups. ...

• Quotation Saturday: It’s All About MEEEEEEEE! (Selfishness)

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  Everybody is selfish on occasion; it’s human nature to want to “feel good,” and “look out for Number One” and think things like “this is best for ME,” and “I won’t share my candy!” and “It’s all for me and about me and because of MEEEEE and for my benefit!!!!” and “I want ...

• This Night Is Full Of. . . .

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  Why yes, actually, I AM having a rather bad evening.  Thank you so much for asking. What tipped you off? I blame it on the fact that I hate Gatorade. Hey, you wouldn’t look so hot in my shoes, either. Thank goodness for laptops. Be right back.

• Update: Quotation Saturday: Children’s and YA Literature Quiz

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says: By popular demand – and I really had no idea I was popular at all – here are the answers to the literature quiz of a few weeks ago.  I would have posted this sooner, but teachers asked me to wait a little while as they were using this post in their classes.  I’ve never been so flattered in my ...

• Full Body Cavity Searches and Naming Names

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says: I just got back from Blog World Expo in Las Vegas and I’ll tell you honestly that I didn’t want to leave it.  I love blog conferences and I love Vegas.  Can you tell?  Does it show? Jim Turner of One by One Media did a FANTASTIC job on this conference.  I’d like to have a nickel for ...

• I Love the Sin City

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  A full week without updating – this is a record for me, and not one that I’m proud of.  I could say I’ve been really busy, which is true, but it’s never an excuse, is it.  Not a viable one, anyway.  Mea culpa. I’m in Vegas at Blog World Expo , and since Vegas is like Disney World – ...

• Quotation Saturday: Autumn

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says: Summer is gone and will never return.  No, really, it won’t.  Not that summer.  A new summer will eventually appear but it will be a different one, not the same one.  The same can be said for all four seasons and, in fact, for every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week ...

• Poetry Friday: Stephen Crane

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  Many people do not know that Stephen Crane, author of  The Red Badge of Courage and The Open Boat – among many other works – was also a poet. Crane referred to his poems as “lines,” but I call them poems, and I like ‘em!  Most of them are short, but hardly sweet. In The Desert ...

• “Slow Down” My Aunt Fanny

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  I hated elementary school, and by “hated” what I really mean is, well, HATED. I learned to read when I was really little, but I have never read as most other people do.  When I read, I look at a page and immediately, that page is affixed inside my head.  I can later “bring it back,” inside ...

• Them Ol’ Midterm Blues. . . .

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says: Midterms are next week.  Bummer. You see, I really like most of my students, and it makes me sad to see so many of them stressing over their midterm tests.  Some of my students have several different midterm exams in the same week, which really puts the crunch on their time and nerves. I recently ...

• Following Simple Directions

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:   Back when I taught sixth grade – and y’all will find this hard to believe – there were times when it was really difficult to get those kids to follow even the simplest of directions.  Verbal directions. . . written directions. . .  it didn’t much matter because so many of them were off in ...

• Quotation Saturday: Business and Customer Service

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 121
  Mamacita says:  I”m feeling pretty jaded lately about many things, but I still believe that if everyone in the world would just buck up, show some spunk, and do the right thing no matter how they may feel and what they might want, the whole universe would right itself.  Right and wrong do not depend on our moods ...
