Kristin, I'll take whatever sharing you've got! Like, I totally forgot about bathroom passes. Totally necessary and simple, yet totally forgot.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Another thing I do early on is make email lists. Do your students have school email accounts? If so, you can create mailing lists including all the students in each class. That little trick has saved my butt many a time when I realize I've forgotten to tell a class something or when I want to let them know about upcoming dates.
Re: bathroom passes--depends on age and school rules, but I've found a clipboard sign-out sheet hanging by the door with a generic hall pass to be effective for high schoolers. That way they don't interrupt the class to ask to go to the bathroom--they know they can sign out and sign back in on their own, and you have a written record of how often they're leaving class.

Our wings are not tired
I need to get my crap together and throw a change of clothes in a bag for yet another trip to Florida tomorrow morning.
I'm also trying to get a utility rack for the new truck ordered before I leave.
I'm tired.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
ND: are you flaying out of Burbank again or might we meet for a cocktail in the lounge at LAX?

The haircut is gorgeous SA. A gorgeous cut and just absolutely lovely on you. I am so jealous of your curls.
