Charli’s Carrot Ranch prompt this week:
September 5, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that shows true grit. You can use the phrase or embody the theme. Who or what has true grit? Go where the prompt leads you!
It’s not easy, teaching.
Sure, the kids are there from 9 to 3ish, but I’m still up at 6 am, at school at 7.30 am or a bit later if my kids drag their heels.
I set up, get the classroom ready to engage the minds of little sponges.
They go, and I’m there past 5 pm, clearing up the messes their enquiring minds created, assessing, planning, preparing for the next day.
Then I go home to be wife and mother.
I’m exhausted.
Don’t mention holidays…
But I love it.
It takes true grit to be a dedicated teacher.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Sept. 7/19
September 6, 2019 by LindaGHill 3 Comments
It’s the last day of the workweek and time for your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. It’s been a crazy week for weather on this side of the Atlantic. Hope everyone is and stays safe and dry. Here’s your prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “weigh/way/whey.” Use one, use ’em all, bonus points if you do that last thing. Enjoy!
The way to reduce the amount you weigh is to use whey protein in your shakes!
Boom!

Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt this week:
Forlorn, he stood waiting.
The game should have been over a long time ago, but no one had found him. No one had called out to say it was time to go home.
Patrick felt himself wilt.
Had Bob and the gang forgotten him?
His arms began to stiffen. He really needed to get back into the water. But should he risk it?
Here he was, poised on the brink of victory. He’d never won a game of Hide & Seek with Bob before. That Bob could squeeze himself into some tiny gaps. He was impossible to find, sometimes. Well, what do you expect, with him being a sponge.
Patrick raised his starfish head. No. I’m going to sit this out, just a little longer…
This story was inspired by the photo, and Spongebob Squarepants, as the figure I saw made me think of Patrick the Starfish straight away!
