I came across this interesting article yesterday, and I can’t seem to get it off of my mind. Perhaps it is because as a parent myself, I am constantly evaluating how I think I am doing in said role. Or, maybe it is because I currently teach 135 high schoolers and see the results of others’ parenting up close and personal every day. So, if you have a moment, please read it and let me know what you think.

This is from one of my favorite “feel good” blogs. I hope you all enjoy!
What was your worst job ever?
Yes, we were chatting about bad jobs the other night and I said unclogging grease traps with my bare hands was at the top of my list. Pulling out that rusty Black Box of Death from under the triple-sink released a foul Rotting Meat Scraps From Six Months Ago stench that was seared forever in my brain.
Scott said his gig was worse: scraping out urinals at the bar he worked at in high school. Being the low man on the grill meant whenever someone created a horrible mess he was thrown a handful of paper towels and told to get to it.
We all thought Scott might have won the title but our friend Tyler said collecting shopping carts in the grocery store lot was worse. “Think about it,” he started. “There’s that constant search for lost carts, snapping them all into mate-mode…

So, this is the first Saturday — or any day of the week for that matter — in forever that I do not have anywhere that I have to be. Don’t get me wrong, I still have a ginormous list of things to do. But, knowing that I am not scheduled to be anywhere makes my list much more manageable. Happy Saturday to you all!

I have been listening to older music lately. It should be noted that I am using the term “older” very loosely because I am referring to CDs from the 1990s, and I am most certainly not old! Nevertheless, hearing artists from the 90s brings back tons of wonderful memories from my days as an undergraduate student at Clemson as well as a graduate student at Auburn. Here’s a list of some of my favorite bands from that decade:
Pearl Jam
Nirvana
Gin Blossoms
Counting Crows
Goo Goo Dolls
Jane’s Addiction
The Cranberries
Smashing Pumpkins
So, I am curious which bands my readers dig from the 1990s?
