why is it that i never really know what i'm doing?

i went to school. got the 27k in debt to prove it. they taught me all kindsa nifty stuff.

and yet, what do i do when an 8 year old pees on the floor in a stream from the self checks to the kids computers? (and just how big is an 8 year old's bladder anyway?) what do i do when a man with garlic and steak breath professes his undying love to me. again. for the 3rd time today.

this is a chronicle of what i did, when the crazy happened. which, in a public library is much more often than you'd think. and which, they also don't teach you about in liberry skool.

oh, and there's also a book review or two.

noodle-riffic

SwaySway by Amber McRee Turner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4-6 grade

when cass finds out her mom is leaving, cass's dad takes her on an adventure in an attempt to bring cass's hero worship from her rescue/adventurer mom to her plain old boring blah dad. mr. nordenhaur's attempt to bring some magic into cass's life is at first met with disdain, then met with enthusiasm and eventually comes crashing down on both their heads. a tender story of redemption with a really likeable main character. i especially loved her 'noodles' and wished i could see a real representation of her art work. highly recommended. a good 'safe' read for younger advanced readers 2-3rd grade as well.
