Full Day Surprise

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
