29 mars Announcement about Weekend Blog Walk
Midweek Spaces Walk, Week 7: TeachersMidweek Spaces Walk, Week 7
Hosted by Dave
This week's topic is Teachers
I had a lot of teachers who made a real difference in my life. When I was in the 5th grade, my dad was really, really sick and I was going through a lot and my teacher Mrs. Hen was very supportive, not only to me, but to my Mum as well. When my dad died on the second-last day of school and I missed the last 2 days of class, she was so nice and so helpful. She's one teacher that definitely sticks out in my mind...I even still see her every once in awhile.
Another teacher that I see every once in awhile is my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Smith. I don't remember her as a teacher but as a person she was and is exceptional. Kind, caring, warm, smart, funny and very genuine and sincere. I love running into her because even after all these years, she stops to talk to me, knows me by name and still seems genuinely interested in my life.
Teachers from high school who stick out in my mind and deserve to be mentioned are: Ms. Kruk, Ms. Fanjoy, Ms. Villamere and Mr. McWhirter...I know I'm forgetting some, but those 4 teachers really had an impact on my life, for different reasons and I liked and respected all of them, as teachers and as people.
I liked all my teachers in college: Janice, Joyce, Pam, Mary, Linda...these women, especially Janice, were not just teachers, they were friends and confidants. I knew I could depend on them and they taught me so much, not just about school-related stuff, but about life.
I was really lucky to have some great teachers over the years...of course, I had some not-so-great ones but thankfully, it's the good ones that stick out in my mind.  27 mars B!tch Fest Monday: Parents
This is really hard for me because anyone who knows me well...hell, anyone who knows me at all...knows that my Mum and I are REALLY close and that she's one of my 2 best friends in the world. She and I get along great and she's so good to me.
BUT...the theme is parents...it didn't say WHO'S parents!! lol...so...since I can't (and frankly, won't) talk about my mum (and my dad died when I was 10), I think I'll bitch about OTHER PEOPLE'S parents, lmao. One friend's parents stick out in my mind...well, she and I aren't really friends anymore, not in my mind anyway. Her parents treat her like she's a god...they worship the ground she walks on. They've spoiled her since the day she was born...every time she did something bad or screwed up, it was like they would reward her for it by buying her all kinds of stupid shit, giving her money, throwing her parties, etc. I don't know of any time she was ever punished.
And now, she's fucked up her life ROYALLY and they're still helping her out of her messes...it's ridiculous!! I mean, I know that good parents love their children unconditionally...my mum loves me unconditionally, no matter what, but if I screwed up the way this girl has, I wouldn't even blame my mum for telling me I was on my own. I would deserve it!
So that's my rant for this Monday lol...Tammy, I hope you don't mind that I didn't bitch about my own parents...at least I bitched about someone's! LOL

Have you ever had a surprise party?
What would be your ideal birthday?
Slightly long topic, I know, but I'm trying to make up for not posting one last week! lol 22 mars Midweek Spaces Walk, Week 6: Childhood BooksHi everyone!! I know I haven't been around lately but I should be around a bit more from now on. Before I do Dave's Midweek Spaces Walk, I'd just like to thank everyone who participated in my ~"Kiss Me, I'm Irish!" Day~ and made it such a success. Thanks also to the people who stopped by for Terrie's St. Patrick's Day Guestbook Signing! I have a photo album with all the St. Patty's pressies people left along the side.
Midweek Spaces Walk, Week 6 Hosted by Dave!
This week, Dave asks..."I thought this week we would get our literary hats on and think back to childhood books. What sort of books did you enjoy reading when your were a child, and did you ever see yourself in any of the stories."
Well...when I was really little, my favorite books were the Berenstein Bears books...every time we went to the store where the post office was, I would beg my dad to buy me one and he always did. The stories were things that most kids could relate to and they had great messages. When I was working in daycares and schools, those were always my favorite books to read to kids and then discuss the morals afterward.
When I got older, my favorite book was Anne of Green Gables. I always imagined myself being Anne or at least being friends with her, because I was a lot like her in a lot of ways, especially the extremely overactive imagination and our outlook on life.
Another childhood favorite was BFG by Roald Dahl (who also wrote such classics as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach). I had to read this book for school (I believe it was the 5th grade) but I loved it so much that I borrowed it from the library a number of times and I LOVED the movie. I actually just bought the book last year through my nephew's daycare's book club thing so I could have it in my collection.
Thanks for an awesome topic this week Dave, I think I'll take a trip down memory lane, get out some of my favorite childhood books and read them again!
16 mars Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
