So, do you recognize this woman?
and what did she do to her hair? was it the 30 crisis? No way. I'm just up for a change. Haven't had my hair this dark since one fall day in Sept or October 1996....
Ethan likes it. It actually looks goth....jut a bit, because it's rather short....but not without it's sweetness of course!

School officially begins tomorrow. I am so excited!! I can't wait to see my kids. See how they have grown over the summer, grown teeth, lost teeth, started meds, got off meds......maybe vacationed past WalMart.....

so much compliance crap to deal with it seems. the local school level, the local board of education level, the local Exceptional Ed level, the state level, the federal level...sheesh. where's my level? exactly. does that mean i'm not level, per se? don't answer that please!

if there is anyone out there reading this and wish to answer, please let me know if you remember how teachers spoke to you in 2-5th grade, and if it made any kind of impact on you. for example, a teacher that was fussy or really nice, a good listener, picky, mean.....just curious.
i remember my teachers being strict but nice. there was a distance, almost a professional distance, but they would extend loving attention as needed. i went to private schools up until 6th grade. what a year that was!!!!

My 2nd grade teacher made me cry on my first day. That about sums up the year.

My 3rd grade teacher was kind and respectful.

My 4th grade teacher was oblivious and played favorites. I wasn't one of them.

My 5th grade teacher was a hag. She was strict and mean.

Still love the hair.

I have very strong impressions of all my teachers from the early grades. Far stronger impressions of them than the ones I had when I was older.

My 2nd grade teacher was a hard-ass disciplinarian. I didn't like her and not many of the other kids did either. She was older and marking time until retirement.

My third grade teacher was a recent grad and I had such a crush on her! Cutie pie.

My 4th grade teacher was good but boring so we only paid as much attention to her as we needed to. I read a lot of comics. On the social front it was an important year since the Lake Clear school merged into the bigger SL school district.

My 5th grade teacher I had mixed feelings about since she was also a hardass but my parents loved her since she made me work. Most teachers hadn't known how to get me to do that. Thus my mixed feelings. LOL

...and I agree with Lora--that's one Hell of a good shade for your hair. Ou-la-la!
