Update and Silly Stuff

Ryan and I tell each other daily that we are glad to be together again. I didn't realize what I was missing until he was back. I need to write a country love song about it :) I didn't know I felt in danger until he was home to make me feel safe. I didn't know I felt lonely until he was there to make me feel companionship. I love, LOVE having him here!

We've caught up on the TV shows I DVRed while he was gone. We've talked about our time apart and how we've grown. He's been entertaining himself while I'm at work with new toys (guns and iphone 4). He helps around the house, so I haven't had the huge shock of more cooking or dishes. He's a sweet husband!

So, that's the Ryan stuff....

I thought you might also appreciate knowing a little about my day at school today.

I'm going to start the story by giving more details than you need...I've been giving a girl from the math class I teach rides to her dance class because it is on my way home and it is a help to her dad. Well, her dad brought me "chai" today. It was very sweet! Actually, he went to the gas station and got tea, cream, and sugar for me.

This same dad got our secretary something to drink, but she couldn't tell what. When I took my attendance sheet up to her, she asked me if I could tell. I looked at it and was tempted to take a drink, but I figured I should take the lid off. I am not sure what she thinks about sharing germs....but I quickly decided I didn't want to share germs. So, I popped the lid off! and spilled the mystery drink! on my off-white sweater! yay!

I said, "It's okay! It's okay! It's okay!" to reassure her that I wasn't mad or upset, but it sure was reassuring to me, too!

I went to the bathroom, tried to rinse the stains out, ended up with a wet, stained, off-white sweater. When I came back to the office, I was blessed by a mom who happened to have an extra large T-shirt with her. I came back downstairs to my classroom getting some questioning looks along the way :) Thank goodness I had a senior high class who could handle the brief distraction!

Long story short, it is a good thing my friend, Kim, lives near the school. She brought me a couple options. Whew!

And a bonus...

This is some of what I hear in a day:

"On the way to school and on the way home, I try to whistle to as many trees as I can."

"No one ever cares that I can put my leg behind my head."

"I never talked about shirts so much at school." (I have no idea what inspired that one!)

(singing) "...you will be attacked by a flaming rowboat..."

Talking about Robert Fulton owner of the first commercially successful steamboat: "People just call him Rob."

I hope I made you smile or laugh!
