I'm sitting at my computer working while my kids are working independently. I'd been sick for the first two days of the week with the flu and returned on Wednesday. I probably should have taken one more day, but it is such a hassle making sub plans that I decided to just tough it out and be at school. My nose was all plugged up so I took a big breath with my mouth. One of my students heard me and said:
Her: Mrs. C, are you feeling OK?
Me: No... I probably should have stayed home one more day with this awful cold.
Her: Maybe you can get a prostitute to come in for you this afternoon.
Me: (Shocked) A SUBSTITUTE????
Her: Oh. Yeah. A substitute.

Music Monday (on Thursday) Long Cool Woman
My mom LOVES this song. I think it might be her favorite. I have it on my iPod and it came on this morning on my way to school. Here's to you, Mom
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of moneybags made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall
Just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
I saw her heading to the table
Well, a tall walking big black cat
Charlie said, "I hope that you're able, boy
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at"
Suddenly we hear the sirens
Everybody started to run
Jumping under doors and tables
Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well, the DA was pumping my left hand
She was holding my right
Well, I told her, "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared
I'm gonna be forgiven if I wanna spend my living"
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall
Just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
She had it all, she had it all, she had it all
She had it all
You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all, got it all, got it all, got it all
Pretty long cool woman had it all
