We Will Miss You

We will miss you grandpa. We all know you are in a better place and not in pain anymore. So here's to remembering the good old times. Remember when you would drive your old car in the parade? Remember the year that me and my sisters wore poodle skirts and threw candy? Remember when you would drive the restaurant float in the parade? You were always so proud looking then. Or when you would come into the restaurant and order fried chicken and french fries? I remember even when you used to still farm and you would come in all dirty after a long day in the field. You also used to get coleslaw, especially if it was fresh. And sometimes you would wash malt cups for us if it was busy. You never said anything bad to me about my dad, even though I know you were thinking it. I remember when we would come out to the farm and ride the three wheeler or walk through the sunflower fields. I also remember your shops on the farm. They were so big and I was always afraid the mice would come out. I remember snowmobiling at the farm too. I also remember riding the dune buggy and watching the farm dog run around. We all love and will miss you. We will remember all of our times with you.

Strange

Well, this week has certainly been anything but normal. I've been extremely exhausted, to the point of not remembering how I made it home and to bed the night before. I wake up realizing I have little recollection of the previous night and know that I was not drinking. The only thing I can come up with is that I'm fighting a bug. I hope this is the worst of fighting it as there is a nasty strand of the flu going around with 105 fevers and hospitalized people. I've had students out for days at a time. I'm hoping that I do not get it. I hate the thought of being sick. While I would like some time off, somehow the alternative to work doesn't seem inviting. And by the way badgergirl, I agree with the bad weather post. We had the same thing happen. Only, we did need at least a 2 hour delay the day of the "horrible horrible storm that will keep people trapped at home for fear of safety for the entire weekend", we did not even get that. Every school around had a delay or cancellation. Hundreds, literaly it looked like over a hundred listings online, of schools, except us. I can still not believe we went on time. In any case, one of my students ending up wrapping himself around a tree and one of our special ed buses was hit too. Way to make an executive decision huh? All the while, I have to tell the students that of course we should have had school today. There's no reason we should all still be snuggled up in our warm beds and not have to trek out in this rain/snow/sleet/slush crap to a school with half the students because half of them stayed up too late hoping for a snow day and when it didn't happen said screw it and didn't go anyway. (Note, if I were a student, I would have said kiss it and not come that day.) Anyway, I hope you are all doing well. I think I am done with my randomness for today. Sorry for the massive irregular sentences. Love you all.

OOPS I DID IT AGAIN (AND I'M NOT BRITNEY)

Everyone, I'm sorry I used real names as I didn't realize I shouldn't. Thank you to those who kindly told me. I have edited my posts. I hope this helps. As I said, this is all new to me. Love you all.

OOPS

Ok, I was just reading my last post and need to clarify something. J-Dog, I said I would like to visit you this summer and I'm sure half way through I would be complaining I'm bored. I meant half way through my summer break I would be complaining I'm bored and would love to come visit you in some of my "spare" time. Not that I would be bored visiting you. I read that and said woa! That can be interpreted wrong. That's all. :)

Hello Everyone

Thank you for adding me!!! Sorry you all thought I was spam. I'm trying to keep this general so I don't have to worry about kids. I want my own life! :) Thank you for the picture comment S, I was playing with the camera. Anyway, I hope you are all well. K, I love the pics of your new home. G, I'm not sure which of the pics is your new home, lol. :) Congrats on what I think is a new kitty S. I miss all of you!!!!!! Hey, J-dog, I just thought of something. Maybe sometime this summer I can come to Chicago and visit with you. I'm sure half way though I'll be complaining I'm bored. Anyway, I hope you are all well. Take care. (Oh and I know G already answered but it's Green Eggs and Ham.)
