i am NoT your number one fan! okay, so maybe i am a science teacher. so maybe i do love the scientific method and experiments and making mistakes and learning from them and getting messy and wearing super-goobery goggles and my black rubber boots and cute aprons, BUT i do not now nor ever did like the science fair. i am pretty close to loathing it or as my close friend, senor thesaurus, would say, i feel repugnance toward it.
not sure if you're aware of this, i'm somewhat of a professional crastinator.
professional crastinator - one who waits until the very last second to do anything, but still gets it done. one who will do anything and everything he/she can to put off work, including writing definitions into the Urban Dictionary. one who procrastinates in every aspect in his or her life.[shout out to urban dictionary :)]
apparently, the pain of having to turn one of these suckers in does not go away after you graduate!
yeah, yeah...i love my kids, i definitely chose to have them & completely understand what a gift and blessing each one is (i really do mean that!), but because of them
YOU STILL HAUNT ME!!!
you stress me out! it is pretty much a fact that i can never do the same thing twice or at least not even remotely in the same way...have you been to my house?! the floor plan is different every week! have you ever known me to have the ability to do something by-the-book or follow rules ever? do you realize what you have just now passed on to my three children? or really what won't be passed on?
phew. i feel a little better getting that off my chest. thanks.
well i'll have you know that i'm really trying to overcome my disability somehow....maybe i'll start by making a list of new, fresh science fair project ideas...
hmm.
- how many science fair projects does it take to send my mom to the looney bin?
- how many loads of clean laundry do you need to dump in a pile before they fold themselves and put themselves away?
- which is more painful: the thought of cleaning the bathrooms, the thought of no diet coke, the thought of ever being a den leader again, or the thought of a clown coming straight at you?
those are just a few ideas to get a head start for next year's science fair. aren't you proud of me?!
woohoo. i am pumped!
spitefully yours,
sanford
disclaimer: aside from the above rant, i am extremely proud of my boys and their hard work on their science fair projects this year! they deserve huge extra credit or some special judges' award for having to work with me! ;)
