If Only....

I could write an intelligent piece, or sentence for that matter. I blame my inability to write anything filled with substance and literary genius on my lack of coherent conversations I encounter daily with a 2 year old, 2 9 year olds (I'm counting Jonathan), and 50 something 7 year olds . I think I used to be an above average writer. I think. Now I write like the students I teach and my mind has slowly become mush. Everything I want to say comes out like I don't want it to sound.

Props to my high school friend, Deanna. Her posts are truly a work of art, composed with eloquence and full of voice. She scores a 6 on the six traits rubric. She is thoughtful, opinionated, poetic, interesting, politically informed, and hilarious. Check out her blog and enjoy....
