Starting with the first day of school in January, I had a contract with one of my students. If he could behave well (this was spelled out and multiple conditions must be met) two days in a row I would make him homemade cookies. It took him until today to have two "good" days in a row. He was a little jerk yesterday being all disrespectful and sullen, but he got enough points, stayed out of ISS and the like. So I just finished a half batch of cookies and will be delivering his dozen cookies to him tomorrow morning.

This kid, like many of the others, have so many strikes against him. Unlike many of the others though, I believe he's got two parents who care about him and want him to succeed. And while I just want to strangle him sometimes, I am happy he finally made his two days giving me an excuse to make him cookies. I hope his next two good days in a row don't take so long come.

Here's the recipe if you like.  I think they turned out well.  Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

---------------------

Now a quick meme stolen from [info]om_mani_padme_ who stole it from someone else

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

Page 123 from Uncle Sam at Home:  Civilian Mobilization, Wartime Federalism, and the Council of National Defense, 1917-1919 by William J. Breen

Overall, the Woman's Committee had reason to be pleased with its contribution.  There had been some opposition to the pledge.  Rumors were rife.

As I've not gone through this book yet, I can't tell you much about it aside from what you might be able to infer from the title.  I am hoping to use it (particularly anything about the Council of National Defense) in my research. 

------------------

Time for bed n ow.  I'm exhausted.

Simple pleasure - more cookie dough to eat!
Peace
24th-Jan-2007 04:46 pm - Lazy = meme time
tea cup
I feel lazy about posting lately.  Saw Chicago on Sunday with Molly.  It was good.  We went out for dinner at Fuji-Ya afterwards.  It was good.  Work has been a bit nuts this week, but today was ok.  Taking students for a state capital tour tomorrow after breakfast at Mickey's Diner  And I got a cold sore for the first time in two years.  Yipee, no kissing Sarah for a week or so!  /sarcasm

Now, I think I'll steal a meme from [info]sonrisa_78

Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favorite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favorite icon.

It's not my default icon for now because my Nataliedee icon just seems so appropriate lately, but my teacup icon is my favorite.  To me, it says peace, calm, mindfulness, and all of that in an environment that I like to be in.  So, yeah.

Simple pleasure - looking forward to swimming tonight
Peace
