One of my fav blogs... Hello...From the Nato's. is giving away a bajillion things. For reals.
Check it out...and not just that post, she has some great Black Bean Brownies which my students thought tasted like dirt and the teachers devoured...it's because of our advanced pallets. DUH!

Dear Blogger -
I have been teaching my students to write courteous complaint letters so I am modeling that now. Your schedule function is not working correctly. It is making me very annoyed because I like to blog a few times then not post them all at once. However; your non working function is making that impossible. Things are not showing up when they are supposed to.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some feed back on what I am doing wrong, or fix the issue. I like all other aspects of your service and would like to continue use with Blogger.
I look forward to a speedy conclusion to this issue. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Kayla Taylor

Thankful November Part 3
First - this was supposed to post on the 20th..not sure why it didn't. Sorry!

Who's there?
It's me!
Me who?
You forgot about me already?
Time for the third installment of "Thankful November"
November 14 - I am thankful for my car. It gets us where we need to be safely and without worry. It has high mpg and is very comfy. I have driven cars that were not so good (I miss you Milliemobile) like windows don't roll down (oh yeah, like the time you go pulled over and had to open the door to talk to the officer who proceeded to laugh but still gave you a ticket...nice guy!), no heat, be sure to check the oil before you go ANYWHERE kind of cars. So today I am thankful that we have transportation that is not sketchy.
November 15- I am thankful for my co-workers. They bring joy to my day and are a source of assistance. While I sometimes wish for a quiet lunchtime having them all in my room is funny and loud and it is nice to have some adult interaction midway through the day.
November 16- I am thankful for my student aid. She is a great senior and has a fun sense of humor. As an FCCLA officer she has been doing lots of work for me this year and our chapter is running quite smoothly.
November 17- I am thankful for our dog Maggie. She is Carly's friend and pillow. She hears Carly stir before we do and she lays beside her whenever she can. Carly likes to hug Mags goodbye before we leave for school, just like she does with Daddy. I am so happy my girl has this furry friend, even if she does call her Baggie.
November 18- I am thankful for friends with skills today. Especially my friend Jessie who does some BA photography work. She took family pictures for us and it was great, there were some beautiful shots of our little family. Earlier in the day Carly decided to only take a 20 minute nap and then get all squirrely and combative after the outdoor photos but hey...Jessie has a sweet play kitchen in her studio and all Carly wanted to do was play with the cool new toys. So the second part of our real fun day was shot to hell - we are going to try again on Wednesday. That's the beauty of having your friends do stuff for you, you make them do it again and they don't complain because you are friends and you have a really cute kid that thinks "Essie" is the bees knees. Who uses old cliches like that...I do, deal.
November 19- I am thankful for running water and a sense of humor. Carly pooped in the bathtub AGAIN and this time I was surprised because she didn't get all silent and stop splashing or start grunting she just yelled "Done mama!" so I went in the bathroom and was surprised and said "Oh Damnit!" real loud...like real real loud and sort of exclamationy. Carly then, of course, looked at the poop and repeated "Oh damnit, oh damnit...ohhhh damNIT" over and over and over. I had to leave the bathroom I was laughing too hard. you left your kid in the bathtub not once but two times, the second with some poo in there with her? You are a horrible mother. Don't get all judgey on me...I was in the hallway the whole time, BESIDE the DOOR. She's a shy bather. Anyways the "oh damnits" got more and more destressed and that made me laugh harder and harder, like cry down my legs hard. So I fished out the poop, let the water out, rinsed the baby, cleaned the tub, rewashed the baby and then had a glass of wine. Drinking and poor parenting....tisk tisk.
November 20- I am thankful for vacations. I like my job and my students but sometimes it is nice to not think about it for a bit. I go home each day and do some laundry, wash dishes, feed my family and then grade papers or plan for tomorrow...so work doesn't stay at work. It is nice to have a job but also nice to have a break.
