Ain't no thang.

Back to the grind, kids. I woke up today feeling a lot like this....

And then I looked in the mirror at my bank account and got real post-haste.

However, I am glad I went to school because on the way to lunch I had the following conversation with one of my accelerated students who is like Tom Clancy, but twelve.

Picture this with glasses and more awkward, but in a lovable way.

Dialogue with Kid Clancy:

Ms. P: So, Kid Clancy, how was your break?

KC: (matter-of-factly) Pretty uneventful. I did finish my novel that I've been working on. Typed it up.

Ms. P: (sheepishly and less upbeat than before) Oh, uh cool. I...uh...made a wreath.

KC: Right. That's...nice.

Wondering what the heck I'm doing with my life,

Ms. P
