@jenniferweiner, thank you for The Breakaway. It was my west Caribbean cruise book, and I appreciate your message on abortion. You have inspired me to start a girls’ support club at my school!

@Lennar, our closing time was scheduled for 11. We had our movers ready to drive four hours to be here by 12. It is now 1:00, and the attorney still doesn’t have our packet. Did I mention we’re paying the movers by the hour? Unacceptable!

Educator friends, if you have a master’s degree, can you comment on what it is in? I’m collecting data for a project.

@AmericanAir our plane in DFW had “maintenance issues” so we had to deplane and get on another one an hour and a half later. I can deal with that. But our luggage at RDU has been held captive for over an hour because it’s “stuck under a belt?” Unacceptable! #MerryChristmas

The seniors in this class started college in a full blown pandemic. If you’re mad at them for rushing the field after a 2OT win in a rivalry game, you don’t get college sports.

@RobLowe, my students are mad that I missed tweeting you a happy birthday on Friday. Hope it was gold. @se4realhinton

Putting love into the world comes back 3xs as much… thankful for everyone who has reached out and prayed. This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me! 🫶🏾3️⃣

Making History! 🏀 #GoFirebirds

Today a motivational speaker spoke to our entire middle school, asking students about their plans for the future. A sixth grader looked at the microphone, took a deep breath, and said, “I want to be @DrakeMaye2.” I get it, kid! @UNCFootball #GDTBATH

Every NFL team has changed their Twitter meme to honour Damar Hamlin. #BillsMafia

@JEFordNCTOY You were always Dr. Ford to me! Way to go!!!

Today, on my 42nd birthday, I successfully defended my dissertation. I am so overcome right now. It took 5 years, but it’s Dr. James E. Ford finally.

Week three down, and now I can REALLY plan. Now I KNOW my students - their strengths, their weaknesses, their interests. Time to get to work!

First teacher workday! Here I am circa 1997 when I said I loved teaching so much I would “do it until I’m 60.” Reached that goal and then some…Here we go, 7th grade!

Excited to welcome beginning teachers to @fallslakeacad today! Despite all the negative chatter out there, teaching is still the best profession there is…#Year33forme

After working as a teacher-on-loan to our state Dept of Ed for 7 years and as a reading coach in 3 different schools (and retiring), I'm now headed back to a 7th grade classroom in the fall. It'll be my first class of 7th graders since 2006, and I'm so stinkin' excited!!! #ELA

@SpiritAirlines, you should have seen the faces of my kids/grandkids after you canceled their flight to DisneyWorld at 1AM (for a 6AM flight.) Do you know it was impossible to get another flight? You should be ashamed of yourselves!
