My Anger Management Class Really Ticks Me Off!

Alice has been rageful the past few days. Here are three examples:

1. She was waiting for a friend because she was the friend's ride and it was taking too long. So she squealed her tires in disgust as she drove away leaving the friend behind.

2. She yelled at her 8th hour and told them that she does not get paid to monitor their conversations but rather to make sure they get some learning.

3. She almost lost it as a co-worker tried to keep her locked out of the main office.

Luckily, each of these rage experiences ended well:

1. She drove back to get the friend because she decided that the friend was not trying to get her mad but rather having a conversation. Said friend and Alice then went for a walk and had many epiphanies.

2. Alice made a seating chart for 8th hour to nip the problem in the bud tomorrow. She has threatened this 100 times so the frustration of the constant class disruptions is partly her fault.

3. She breathed and got over it.

I think when Alice does not sleep enough she gets crabby. Too bad it is midnight right now and she is still up blogging and not sleeping.

Funny ending story. Some punk kids at the grocery store were trying to be funny and put cough syrup right on my nice new loaf of bread. Because I saw them do it, I followed them with the cough syrup and when I caught up with them I said: "I think you forgot something." and slid the syrup toward them on the floor and it hit one in the foot. I just couldn't take teen not so funny attempts at humor at that moment. Idiots. I guess I am just full of anger lately. I have no clue why. I also have no clue why I wrote most of this post in 3rd person!

Funny Quote

I am very much a lunatic today.  In the faculty room at lunch, I was just hyper girl.  I do not know where this is coming from.  Anyway, of my students said something sweet in class today.  I was telling them that I can't just go with them everywhere and help them make good decisions and that I could only give them good information(we are talking about drug abuse) and she said:  "I have an Alice on my shoulder that helps me!"  I just thought that was cute.  You may not think so, but I do and I am in control of what is put on this blog so there!  I will write more about movies later! :)

Half Way and Okay!

I was just reflecting on my job and really I do have a great job.  I guess having a week away from my students has made me appreciate them more.  We are already half way through our first day back.  I love lunch.  I think I can make it through the next six weeks! :) Later!

Lists?

For some reason, it seems that writing lists instead of blogging are more appealing to me lately. Today was just another Sunday. I am not excited about going to work but I think if I were to vacation anymore I would become bored, so maybe it is good to be back.

I am sitting here wondering what list I should make. Should it be all the interesting places I have been, should it be a list of all my favorite movies, should it be a list of all things on my floor? What should it be. I think I am just going to make a list of all the movies I own, well at least the first shelf on my DVD storage place:

1. 13 Going on 30-I love this movie. It is chickflickishous! Imagine being able to have visited yourself as a 30 year old when you were just 13!
2. A League of Their Own-Any woman baseball fan would have this movie in her collection. What a fabulous array of famous actors. I wish I could have lived during this time and been a professional baseball player.
3. As Good as it Gets-I love Helen Hunt and in this movie she is superb. Seeing the transformation of Jack Nicholson's character from a bitter, mean, OCD patient to a nice, loving man was awesome.
4. Aspen Extreme-This isn't the best movie in the world but I watched General Hospital religiously at one time and Finola Hughes was on there so I had to check out the movie she was in.
5. The Bachelor-Great movie. Renee Zellweger is one of my favorite actresses and Chris O'Donnell is quite handsome. It is also a great movie about either getting married or stopping a relationship because there is just nowhere else to go.
6. Bewitched-I love Will Ferrell, he is just hilarious in any movie he is in. This one is a cute story of a clueless witch finding love and really it is based on the TV series so it has to be good!
7. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen-I like teeny boppy movies and I really like Lindsay Lohan in these types of movies. I really have no clue why!
8. Dan in Real Life- One of the best movies to come out this past year. It has everything: humor, love, heartbreak, and my favorite talent: "Murderer of Love."
9. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood-Just a heartwarming story of growing up and having great friends to share memories with.
10. Electra-Jennifer Garner as an assassin, need I say more?
11. Elizabethtown-Such a good romance story. I wish it were as easy as it was in this movie. Just give me a map to my husband would you?
12. Enchanted-Even though my friend, Moo, hates this film, I love how Disney allowed a movie to pretty much make fun of all the Disney princess movies. I love how well Amy Adams played a clueless princess who truly finds reality and grows into a pretty amazing real person. LOVED IT!
13. Fever Pitch-Hello, the perfect combination of baseball and romance. I watch this at the beginning of every baseball season!
14. Finding Forrester-Haven't watched this movie in a very long time. Its draw comes from the whole I love writing business. I should watch it again one of these days.

Well there is a glimpse of my video collection. Maybe I will continue this tomorrow. We will have to see how exciting the day is. Notice that my movie are in alphabetical order, one of my few OCD tendacies.

Memoir

She Wore Many Hats and Lived.

Pretty much I don't have much today. One of my friend's tagged me, so I had to write my own six word memoir.

I always have a hat on my head. I also do many different things in my life, so I thought that was a pretty appropriate dual meaning quote. I think it is important to live. This doesn't just mean breathing, it means actually enjoying the journey of life, which I try to do.

1. Daughter

10. Dreamer
11. Realist
12. DVR Watcher
13. Movie Connoisseur
14. Blog Writer
15. Diamondback Mountain Bike Rider
16. Scoreboard Operator
