Todder Tunes (and Pre-Schooler)

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Now that I teach daycare, I hear kid music all day. I thought I’d focus on some of my favorites and put them here for you to listen.

Right now I’m loving Justin Roberts “Meltdown” album. It’s really good dance music  and the lyrics are clever. My favorite line, “It’s outrageous, outrageous but meltdowns are contagious, contagious!”

I’m a lame blogger

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Wow, I’m not much of a blogger anymore. Not that anything isn’t happening, oh hell yes it is. It’s been hard to get to a computer at work.

One that doesn’t have Sims 3 on it anyway.

I spend my days telling two year-olds what do, and praising them when they do it well on their own. I also work with a woman who acts like another giant two year-old that I must also keep in line with mini M&Ms.

Since she’s deathly afraid of computers, I have zero fear that she’ll read this blog by chance and read through the lines that I’m talking about her. The problem is she isn’t good at being told, “STOP! You’re risking the lives of children!” She turns beat read, flicks her hair, and resembles Kathy Bates in the movie Misery. It doesn’t help that she indeed looks like a plus-sized version of Kathy Bates in Misery.

Unlike the Kathy Bates, this woman is not only crazy, she’s about twenty marks below the 100 line on the old I.Q. I seriously wish I could share all my stories. They are quite funny, crazy and would probably cause mass panic. She can do one hell of an “Animal Boogie,” laughs a lot, and when she is cheerful she is very, very cheerful and when she is sad, she is…..
