I haven't whined about Menopause for a while now; I have quietly and graciously accepted the night sweats, the long weird hairs growing on my chin, the weight gain, the indigestion, all of the various abuse heaped on women during menopause, but I do have to admit I was fervently hoping that along with all those glorious side effects I would also finally be graced with an end to my monthly period. It seemed like an unfair trade-off, but at least it was a trade-off…but I was wrong. This week I was reintroduced to my monthly visit from the cranky, irritable, bloated and all around yucky feeling that comes along with a visit from my ‘Aunt Flo’. The ONE benefit of menopause is that your period finally stops. I had such high hopes – I had gone almost seven months without a period! I thought I had finally made it to the Promised Land, only to have my hopes dashed. I wish I had this Uterus piñata so I could take my frustrations out on it and beat the crap out of it. My mean spirited uterus just won’t quit. My hubby says that because I am such a fierce Mom, my estrogen is just tougher and more plentiful than other people. I wish there was some way to tell my uterus to knock it off already, that it's time for my uterus to retire, but it seems my uterus isn't willing to just ride off peacefully into the sunset. So now I face all the struggles of getting older along with my stupid old period. I should have known better, after all drug stores put sanitary napkins right next to depends pads - they must know that aging is a gradual and frustrating process. Yes, in nature’s cruel irony, I have the pleasure of dealing with gray hair and oily skin on the same day and it’s not fair. I know there are worse problems in the world, but I really, really, really want to be done with this by now. I doubt I even have any eggs left, and the crazy spring inside my fallopian tubes are blocking those eggs from coming down anyway. Hopefully one of these day my uterus will get the message.
Hundreds waited in line at the Sunnyside Dispensary again Thursday, the second day of legalized recreational marijuana sales in Illinois.
'SunnySide Matinee' is part of an ongoing series of acrylic on wood panel paintings titled 'You Can Never Go Home Again'. This series of paintings reflect my own nomadic experiences of different Canadian cities. 'SunnySide Matinee' is based on my experience living in Toronto, Ontario within the Parkdale neighbourhood and specifically the SunnySide lakeshore area. Each painting from this ongoing series begins with a process of arranging found images of figures from magazines in order to create interaction between the characters. Once an arrangement is decided on, figures are translated into paint. The setting/scenario is created through my own imagination guided by the figures within the painting and my own experiences of my environment and surroundings during the time the painting is created. Medium: Acrylic and graphite on wood panel. Measurements: 24 inches x 30 inches, 2 inches thick

It’s that time of year again, when everyone digs through piles of crumpled receipts and tries to make some semblance of organization out of the chaos. Yes my friends, it is tax time and while I do understand that preparing taxes for most people is about as much fun as a root canal, there was one small bright spot for me this year. Between all the sorting and adding, I took a minute to appreciate the fact that once again this year I will have to claim income as an author. Yes, I am actually happy that I have to pay taxes on my book royalties, because that means that once again I HAD book royalties. I do have to admit it is not an incredibly large amount, but as my wonderful husband/biggest cheerleader reminded me, I have earned income because people paid money to read my words and ideas. This really is something to celebrate. Although I am not yet making enough with writing to give up my current teaching job, I am hopeful that my royalty income will continue to grow. With two books and one short story so far, I have seen consistent sales each month. I am continuing to use social media to market my books with fairly good success. Looking at my total yearly revenue gives me inspiration to keep working on my new projects. I don’t really mind paying my fair share of tax and hopefully next year I will have to pay even more taxes – for a really great reason.

Assessing elementary music students should be quick and easy. Why not try exit cards to check for comprehension? When students line up to go back to their classroom, use these exit cards to assess various tempo markings. Each card has a tempo and a corresponding card with the definition. The following terms are in this deck: Largo Adagio Andante Moderato Allegro Vivace Presto Grave Lento Accelerando Ritardando Rallentando This set includes: 12 color cards 12 black and white cards Comes in PDF format for printing Specials teachers (art, music, and physical education) have a short amount of time to teach a huge amount of content. We don't stop moving from the minute they walk in the door until the minute they walk out the door. And then? We start all over again with the next class! Assessments should be quick and easy to document. I started using exit cards when I had to turn in documentation for a Unit of Instruction and my Professional Development Plan. I kept a roster on a clipboard to record student progress, then transferred it to a Google Doc! Voila! Documentation for Administration! Please follow my store for new materials!
