I was scheduled to work a morning half day today in a school I went to at the end of January. However, on my way to the school this morning (amid the falling snow) I got a phone call from the secretary of the school telling me that the teacher needed to extend her absence to a full day and wondering if I could do the full day. I could, but unfortunately, I hadn't brought a lunch with me. I was about 15 minutes early though, and almost at the school so I just swung into a Fred Meyer nearby and went in and bought one of those microwavable pasta things. I could have just gotten a school lunch, but I didn't really want to fuss with getting in line with the kids and also, I just didn't want to eat cafeteria food! It seems like everyday I'm thankful that I actually feel like I know this city and can think of where stuff is in relation to where I am - made finding a grocery store much easier!
Anyways, the kids were fine today. A little wound up, but otherwise okay. It was a really busy day for me - only had a half hour without the class during the day for PE - and that time I spent reading the plans that had just arrived for the afternoon. Then I had lunch of course, which I spent eating! haha
So I was pooped. And my voice was sore because a cold is trying to get me. I am trying to teach it that it should fear me. I believe it is slowly realizing this fact, but it is having a bit of fun with my throat while learning this lesson. Zicam is my friend. End of blog.

Go Zicam! I'm glad you had a good day and it sounds like you were able to speak your native tongue. Hope the trend continues.
Love you!!! MOM
Glad you snuck in a full day. If you find a way to strike fear into a cold let me know, Tith and I have visitors in our throats too.
Hugs, Rhonda
