I can't "do" lids. I run out of patience. Thank goodness for aluminum foil!

This blog reminds me, I need to degunk my little refrigerator here in Fl. Even though it is a small space; stuff still gets pushed to the back. I've told husband to let me put away the stuff so I can put it in the same place and know what is in there....yeah right...he finds the first open space and throws it in....

I forgot to mention that my youngest sister is a teacher in Texas...same treatment by administration....it's all about state test scores and nothing about teaching or rules or fairness any more.

Teaching has become such a disrespected profession... Non-supportive administrations, comabative parents, and the pointing finger of blame now seem to be the norm, at least in NY public schools. It's sickening. I work with teachers, and they are dedicated, hard-working people who don't deserve the abuse that is being heaped on them these days.

Good admins are an absolute gift in education. As are good programme managers, having spent 2 days helping a friend from Early Childhood Education (preschool teacher training) sort out something that *my* programme manager would have just made disappear! What is it with lids and containers - there is only me in this house and I still have 20 lids and 15 containers and mismatches! Also ditto on the cookware - to the point I can't let anyone else clean it and if you touch my knife I get postively cheffy about it! Hugs Bels

We watched that Stephen Fry series - Stephen Fry is Da SHIZZLE. s x PS Re: School life and its many injustices - If you like, I could start posting entries from the daily 'behaviour log' from my school. Im sure it would make interesting (if depressing) reading!

I have to hide things in the pantry too as, if the object of desire is not right out in front, they will not move another object to find their desire and will proclaim either "We are out" or they will open a new one if it is visible. I don't really have to hide the multiples, I merely have to either put them on the shelves in the basement which, even though they each probably walk by them once a day, they forget exist. Or I stuff the extra one one row back in the pantry and it is safe until I 'unhide' it. I cleaned my fridge a little while ago but I know I have stuff lurking back there that should get the heave ho. Today I got rid of one crystallized raspberry jam jar and a jar with about 2 table spoons of apple butter glued to the bottom of it.

If you are looking for something to watch I like Lie to me. It's an interesting idea (deception experts hired to determine if folks are lying) and it is well acted. Only two seasons though. I'll take a look at the Stephen Fry show, sounds good.

Plastic containers! Arrrggghhh! How can the same brand (Ziplock) and the same size container exist(1 cup round) but the lids that came from one package don't fit on the containers from a different package. The containers are the same size and the lids are the same size, but some are blue and some are purple and they are identical but they don't fit. One of these days I am going to discard them all and buy a huge supply to replace them. (And they will be a different brand.)

I just emptied and scrubbed the fridge this morning. It had become utterly intolerable and I wasn't going to take it any more. Solution found, however, for the containers-without-lids dilemma. We bought a matching set where the same lids fit several of the set's containers and ALL lids interlock with their matching container/bowl. Then we proceeded to chuck everything that wasn't a part of the set. Smartest investment I ever made.
