My week has been things back to back to back! This morning granted me a 2 hour snow delay and I'm trying not to let the things gobble up the peaceful feeling I achieved.

One of my middle school boys loves to ask me what I'm having for dinner -he's delightfully food focused and I'm here for it.

Waking up when it’s light out feels so much more humane. Dreading daylights β€œsaving” in a couple weeks

My family is a hockey family. But I couldn't watch that gold medal win without a churning bitterness in my stomach listening to the players extoll the greatness of 'Merica.

I thought I was done with this revision, but then I went back and realized I'd only addressed about 40% of what was in the editorial letter. *sigh*

There is so much to hate about she who will not be named -but what she wrote about those who have experienced death and how they can see things others cannot, was beautiful.

I wish I could tell my 12 year old self that the parts of her that she thinks "are weird" are destined to be the greatest parts of her - the ones that will draw in her greatest friendships.

Yesterday I set a ten minute timer to help a student focus enough and read and we both sat there in the bean bag chairs and read -side by side. Another student saw us and said, "Shh, Kauf and Ben are reading."

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol.

An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

I swear my feed is half people freaking out over the horrors and half people posting pictures of nature to recover from the horrors.
