You can recognize a good friend when she buys you this ice cube tray for Christmas and the first thing you both think when you see it is "autism awareness" (although I'm not sure that's what IKEA had in mind).

Showing Off
I have been called a fair share of names during my time in special ed: Miss Dallas, Miss Thirsty, Leroy, B*^&%, etc.
One student this year even thinks my name is "Cooking Miss Darcie."
My favorite name was dubbed this week. Transitioning back into school after a glorious break has been quite difficult, and I've been a tad bit cranky. I was really cranky this week after trying to convince a student that, no, actually, it's not ok to pretend to have epilepsy and writhe around like you're having a seizure. After escorting this student out of the classroom, I passed by my next door neighbor's classroom, who happened to have a sub. My Don't-cross-over-to-the-dark-side-student was yelling and being just so loud.
I peeked my head in the door and griped, "Hey Dark Side-knock it off."
He glared back at me and looked at the sub and said," What's that show off cooking lady's problem?"
Show off cooking lady? I kind of like it.

In pursuit of my Olivia Walton-ness (you thought I was kidding, didn't you?), I've decided to become more thrifty. Ok, really I just find bargain hunting fun. I've been reading Money Saving Mom's blog and have found her info on CVS quite intriguing. This week I decided to try my hand at their supposed amazing deals. With Bucks Back, coupons and sales I got $30 of stuff for $0.81. Amazing!

Personal Problems
I get to hear a lot of things from my students-often things I don't want or need to hear. Today, I think, took the cake.
Student: "Darcie, I kind of have a personal problem."
Me: "Ok, can you whisper it in my ear?"
Student (whispering and very serious): "My butt crack feels like it's on fire."

Ewww...
The following conversation is why I have problems being ok with my singleness.
Great Aunt Jo: Darcie, Georgie (another great aunt) and I were talking about you the other day. Are you seeing anyone?
Darcie: Nope.
Jo: Would you be opposed to dating one of your cousins? He's a nice guy.
(Ok, she is one of the funniest people I know and wasn't being completely serious, but eww, eww, and more ewww.)
