About Me
Name: Chelle Y.

I am a mother of one beautiful seven year old boy, and I am a Die-hard Oakland A's fan. I was a history and algebra teacher for nine years before my son came into my life, then became a stay-at-home mom. That has been one of my greatest joys.

I love to play the piano and now I teach other children how to play piano too.

Passing Thoughts!

Hi, Everyone! I hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Year break! I know I did! I actually read four, FOUR books this entire break, and I do not mean, “kid books.” Real books! The books on my sidebar actually changed every few days, instead of months! Yay, me! I love to read! :)

  • I have not scrapbooked in a year. I really need to get back to it, but I have no motivation. It saddens me, because I think I did a pretty good job at it. Maybe I should look into the digital stuff? Would my little laptop be able to handle it? Any suggestions?
  • I miss blogging. I miss reading your blogs. I miss commenting too. Wow, things have been busy!
  • I did get some rest during the holidays which was what I needed.
  • I did not want to come back to work today, until someone commented on people not having a job. I should be thankful that I have one, right?
  • That still does not make me less tired. :)
  • Certain kinds of people frustrate me. Gotta let it go.
  • My crockpot was too small for my roast this morning. Had to wait until it thawed to squish it in. Sounds yummy, huh?
  • I have to pee, but am too lazy to get up and do it.
  • I have not had any soda for five days. I know that does not sound like a big deal, but it is to me. I have had mostly water. My kidneys and bladder are thanking me too much! :)
  • I am excited that all my favorite shows are back on NOT showing reruns.
  • I am going to have a Pampered Chef party in two weeks. Anyone want to come?
  • It’s raining outside, which means that my students will have “recess” in my classroom. Oh, joy! :)
  • Yep, they just came in. Four, rowdy boys. Thank God I already took some ibuprofen.
  • I am giving a few tests this week! I love test days!
  • I love “my boys.” They are great kids.
  • Hopefully, I will blog more this year. I will make myself!

Kid’s Say the Funniest Things

I need to explain the first one. My mom is from Thailand and there they call flipflops, thongs. We grew up hearing them called that, and now, my nephews are hearing the same thing. Well, my oldest nephew, Wesley, goes to a public in the area, and this is the conversation that took place. (He […]

A two week break from school! I love teaching, but I have been so tired lately. I am excited about getting some rest!
A Christmas party tonight! I love parties! I am such a social bug. Haha!

Thursday Thirteen #122 (Thirteen Things on My Mind Right Now)

I think it is about to explode!

Taking a nap - I am so about to fall asleep in my classroom right now. Thankfully, the students have not noticed yet.
What I am going to make for dinner tonight - I have no clue.
What is the next point on this list - Haha, I […]

Thursday Thriteen #121 (Thirteen Reasons Why I Have Not Done A TT Since September)

It has been a long time since I have done one of these. I have been meaning to post one each week, but things have been so hectic. Hopefully, I will be able to do more in the future.

I started teaching again.
I teach elementary, a level that I am not used to teaching.
It […]

Like Michael Jackson?

Jared (my nephew): “Hey! Guess who I just saw sing on T.V.? Michael Jackson!”
Mikey (my brother): “You look like Michael Jackson!”
Jared: “I’M NOT A GIRL!”
I guess no one told him that Michael Jackson is not a girl!

Say What?

Conversation heard from my classroom:
Wesley:  “Aunt Chelle is using the boy’s bathroom?”
Collin:   “She always does.”
Explanation:
I have a door in my classroom that leads straight to the boy’s bathroom.  It is so convenient for the boys in my class (I do not have any girls), but most of the time I use it too.  It […]

Meme I Stole From Jay

1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3. Something I have and YOU want?
4. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
5. Describe […]

Passing By With Some Thoughts.

Today as I was driving home from a long day at school, I happened to see a McDonalds to the left of me, as I waited for the light to turn green.  It is the same McDonalds that I pass every day.  The one that my son has gone to hundreds of times a few […]

A Comedian?

Brendan came up to me and said that he made up some jokes.
What did the toast say to the bagel when the bagel was eaten?
~Why did you get pick?  Now, I am toast!
What did the cow sitting on the sand say when he saw the moon?
~Mooooooon Sand
He was so proud of himself!  (Okay, he’s eight)
He […]
