What Does It Mean When Your Eye Has Been Twitching For The Past Three Days?

It means the school book fair is next week.  Tomorrow is the dreaded set-up day.

Book Fairs

Are they really that bad?

Mariah does not get Scholastic packets anymore, since changing schools - I really miss them. And they don't have library - weird, eh? They do have the book fairs though, once or twice a year during conferences.

I was thinking about how kids get hooked on reading, and I think the monthly Scholastic orders is what really did it for me. I always ordered a couple of books. I still have some of the paperbacks from 2nd and 3rd grade. Hard to believe they lasted so long.

Or that your conference paper is due and you keep getting late recommendations from your supervisor. And remember that it will be on the internet for the rest of your life for people to mock. *twitch*

oh, book fairs! I used to love book fairs, until I went to middle school and my mommy, who volunteered (and coordinated the volunteers) at the elementary school, would never be home during the book fairs, but I'd never get to go anymore.

So I understand both sides of the coin, I think. Anyway, good luck!

(another possible interpretation is that your eye has known subconsciously what you did not: your "readings for the week" in your history class include pages 1-93 in the textbook, along with at least 15-page excerpts from three other readings, and that you should have started three days ago, instead of tonight.)

Today I was helping the librarians set up for a book display of all the new nonfiction books for the teachers. I feel your pain-- thought it wasn't that bad I can imagine how it must be to do a whole fair...

Is it odd, that in times of stress, everyone begins offering everyone else food? :) I just read Emmaco's comments and realised that really, we have it pretty easy.

I'm listening to your first readaloud chapter (she's about to cut off his hand!) You have a lovely reading voice. :) Completely absent of wrath.
