Open mouth ... insert foot

I'm very fond of words, and you would think I'd have found a better filter by now for those words that emerge from my own mouth. The UNC-TV people were at our methods class tonight (our room is nifty), with equipment & whatnot. I happened to ask Camera Lady why they were visiting, and she told me it was for a program they produce. In my signature style, I verbally processed this information and said, "Oh, good. No one watches public television anyway." Hopefully I'll have learned better responses by the time I'm a teacher. She handled it quite well, I'm happy to report.

B's wedding was beautiful & fun. Aside from a sprained ankle (bride's mother) and misplacing several important bouquets (including the flower girl's basket, which upset the child considerably), there were no major catastrophes. And despite my regrets over agreeing to watch the M girls this weekend, they were worth it. I wish I could find a way to bottle all their praise & positive attention for moments when I really need it. They're sweeties ... even if L. does have the disturbing habits of decapitating her Lego people (hey, it could've been me!) and dumping the contents of her unwanted dinner down the front of her shirt. Lovely. And people wonder why I want to teach high school students instead of elementary kids. :)
