Mystery Monday- Ow, my memory

 Welcome to Mystery Monday!
This week I am exploring the mysteries of my memory.
Like, why do I only remember the negative things that people say, and the nice things are forgotten so quickly?  It should totally be the other way around.  

Or whenever I do something stupid, I just can't seem to stop thinking about it, but when I do something completely awesome or cool, I forget about it after about 2 days! 
 
Why is it that when I run upstairs to get something, by the time I get to the top step, I have forgotten what I went up there for (I could run up and down the stairs all day!)

 And EVERY time I go shopping, no matter how well I am prepared, as soon as I get home I realize that I forgot one thing that I kinda needed!  (I would not make a good extreme couponer because most of the time it is my coupons that I forget!)

Mystery Monday- Disney Edition

 My Mystery Monday topic today is about Disney.
It is a mystery to me why everything is so much better there.  
Disney is able to mysteriously take anything and make it fun!

Let's take the ice cream bars for instance:

Look at that ice cream!  It tastes so delicious.  I would stand in line for 15 minutes to get one.  Especially today since it was so hot.  Anyway, I am sure it is just like a dove bar, but it tastes waaaay better at Disney World, doesn't it?!

Another mysterious thing that I noticed today is the sandbox.  Even their sandbox is better than any other sandbox I have ever been in.  Just look:

It is filled with teeny tiny pebbles instead of sand and there are plenty of shovels and buckets for all of the kids!  They had fans with misters and if you dig deep enough, you uncover dinosaur bones!  Awesome!

You name it, Disney can mysteriously make it better:

Standing in line

Getting from your car to the entrance

Medicine

  Now, if I can just get them to come home with me and work their mysterious magic on my life, things would be great!

It's Mystery Monday!
There is only one more Monday for the kids this school year!  Can you believe it?  It is a mystery to me how fast the school year passes by!  It seems like one minute I am setting up my classroom and having an open house and the next minute I am taking down all the posters and counting textbooks!  It is a mystery how at the beginning of the year my little 6th graders are so scared and small and by the end of the year, they are confident and taller than me!  How can they change so much in just one year?! 

 From now on, Mystery Monday will be a blog hop!  Tell me what is mystifying you today.   Leave your mysterious thoughts as a comment, or click the linky to add your blog post!  Please spread the word and let's have some fun!  *The only rule is, to post your link, you must be a follower of this blog* 

Mystery Monday- Driving

Driving around in Florida, it is a mystery I make it anywhere alive.  I mean, if there is an old person who should have stopped driving 5 years ago, a lost person, a person who can't manage to use their cell phone and drive at the same time, a bus- city or school, or a garbage truck anywhere around, I am sure to get behind them.  Especially if I have a hot pizza in the car and want to get home to eat it.  What is mysterious to you today?

Mystery Monday- Getting Personal

It's Mystery Monday and this week I have been wondering about some mysterious things that always seem to happen only to me.

Like how I can take a shower and forget to wash the conditioner out of my hair.  I mean, what exactly was I doing in there?!  It's not like the routine changes each time I shower: wash hair, apply conditioner, shave legs, rinse conditioner, wash with poof! 

Or like how one hour after I showered, the bottoms of my feet can be so dirty.  I am not running around through my garden or anything, maybe just out to the garage, but my feet, ugh!

I'm embarrassed to admit that this has happened on more than one occasion, but have you ever worn your underwear inside out and then not realized it until half the day is gone?  Nope?  I knew I must be the only one!

Finally, how come I always have to be the one who somehow forgets to zip my pants after using the bathroom?  And it is also a mystery how I can have 6 classes of 20 kids staring at me all day, and not one of them brave enough to let me know my zipper is down.  Would it be too much to ask that someone at least slip me a little note?

What mysteries are you pondering in your life today? 

Mystery Monday- Teacher's Edition

It is a mystery to me how kids can talk so much.  My daughter does not ever stop talking.  Sometimes she talks the entire way home from school in the car without even stopping to take a breath!  She even talks in her sleep.  The kids in my class would talk non-stop if I didn't make them be quiet and do some work.  They will talk to me, the kid next to them or anybody who will listen.  Do you know that strange children even come up and talk to me at the mall or the park?  Maybe they know that it takes a talker to know a talker, ha, ha!  When I was a kid, my mom would limit my caffeine intake because she thought that was what made me talk so much.  I don't really think it helped...

Mystery Monday

It is a mystery to me where all my bandaids disappear to.  What could my daughter be doing with them?!

It is a mystery to me how my daughter's socks can get so dirty.  I mean, she wears shoes, high tops even, so how do the socks get filthy?


It is a mystery to me how my daughter can have any energy for the basic functions of life when all she eats for dinner is plain pasta with no sauce.  As a matter of fact, she has so much energy people are surprised that she is not on a diet of straight sugar!
