Can I call you Ruffio?

And just like that, munchkins they weren’t. These are my boyfriends Gop and Nex fighting over me at school. If it were December of 2014, Gop would be writing me love notes and Nex would sneak up to kiss me on the cheek then run away giggling. This year they’re both still trying to getContinue reading “Can I call you Ruffio?”

Fri-Yay, not today

When the Director handed me the roster for tutoring in October, I did not like the looks of Friday.  7th grade boys any day is a tall order but Friday afternoon is really pushing it. They proved me wrong and today marked the 8th week of the boys not only having perfect attendance but beingContinue reading “Fri-Yay, not today”

Backpackers Need Not Apply

I’m in the process of re-doing my website and of course when I say “I” I mean Carlie is in the process of doing it. “I” maxed out my wordpress publishing for dummies skillset a long time ago. Several people have suggested I throw up an FAQ section for people who are interested in teachingContinue reading “Backpackers Need Not Apply”

Cupfake Wars

In honor of my golden birthday this weekend (28 on the 28th) the Munchkins and I are partying all week. It kicked off after school on Monday with “Cupfake Wars” 4 teams, 30 minutes…..victory, defeat, camera crew, an annoying host, and glitter, just like TV. Call me a monster, but my favorite part of anyContinue reading “Cupfake Wars”
