Student: Who are you again?

ME: I found this book in a park when I was on a camping trip? Would you like me to read it to you?
Students: Yeah, yeah. (nod in agreement)
ME: Have any of you ever been camping?
Student: Camping? (surprised and astonished look) That's dangerous!

This morning - very, very early in the morning Paul and I heard helicopters circling around and around.

"They must be looking for a fugative," I thought.

When we woke up we could still hear them, there is a rapist on the loose in our neighborhood (don't worry mom my husband is watching out for me and has pronouced death to the man who harms his wife) so we thought maybe they were looking for him.

That is, until I went to work this morning. I was driving to the Hawthorne bridge and just on the corner of Hawthorne and Grand is the courthouse building (about 12 blocks away from our home sweet fourplex) and all the gay couples were lined up to get married. There were reporters and everything.

Then I got to work and I had to call the person I was subbing for. Guess where she was? At the courthouse getting MARRIED to her partner.

Then as I was coming home I saw the same scene again only huge. News trucks, helicopters, the works. Paul and I are going to walk down there now and watch the circus. History in the making whether you like it or not.

I was just called by the phone-a-thon students. Those of you who went to MBC will recognize this as an incredibly painful but necessary night in which you spend four hours calling alumni and asking for money. Now they are calling me!

There are some seriously impressive blogs out there. It makes me feel humble. These people have links and you can leave messages for them and everything. It's amazing. I have been having fun checking out blogs from teachers and also christian blogs.
Check this one out from a christian teacher: What in Tarnation?
Also, this one is impressive. There is so much so see. I'm still trying to figure out how to let people email me. Jen Speaks
Stayed home today (no jobs) and washed all my windows, inside and out. The reason for this was because I really couldn't stand to look at another job posting. I would rather do housework than job hunt. I also found the coolest cow serving tray at a thrift store. The bad news is that there is no more housework to do, so if I stay home tomorrow I'm stuck with the job hunting.

Note I recieved today:

"I think Mrs. Robinson is the best supstut ever."

I was picking the students up from the playground in the morning where they wait for their teachers. The grass was moist and dewey and it was morningy.

Student: Mrs. Robinson, you shouldn't walk in the grass in the morning.
ME: Why?
Student: Because a lot of people bring their dogs here and the dogs go poop and the principal doesn't have time to clean it all up before we get here.

You are Marcie!
