It's amazing that now that I'm sitting down to blog nothing profound or interesting comes to mind.  I've been meaning to do this all week, all these great topics going through my head, but now that I'm actually sitting here, ... nothing.  I don't remember one thing I was thinking of earlier.
Unfortunately, time is ticking away and I have to melt some chocolate on the cookies I made especially at my hubby's request.
Where are my good ideas?  Hello?  Is anything in there?  Oh and they were so good!  I think I must be experiencing holiday prep overload.  I have too many things to think about to get ready for Christmas that there isn't room for anything else.
That reminds me of a professional development day my school had a few years ago.  We had this guy come in and talk about how we learn.  He had a glass on a table and a pitcher of water.  The glass represented our brain, the water represented the things we learn or think about.  He poured the water into the glass until it was completely full.  Then, using our classroom environment as an example, "here's a new Math concept.", poured more water into the glass.  Of course water poured out all over the table.  The moral of this story?  When our heads are full of "stuff" something has to give in order for anything else to be learned or remembered. 
I think that happens to me all ---the---time!!!
Okay I'd better go now.  (Hey, did you know Firefox spell check doesn't recognize the word okay?  That's crazy.)
Now I'd definitely better go.  I sound like I'm losing it.
