First time leaving has sunk in.

Well, I had two very distinct & difficult moments today. We met with the architects regarding remodeling the science prep space. Two things happened:

1)The whole set up of the two "science prep" rooms represent my second and best incarnation of science teaching to me. I looked at all of that old stuff & visualized it being gone or at least totally rearranged into a foreign space & it made me sad. Difficult moment #1.

2)As I stood back & watched & listened to both Kat Stewart & Sara Johnson very confidently express their vision of what must happen for that space to serve its best purpose, I felt very, very proud while at the same time feeling very, very sad realizing that our careers would parallel one another for a much shorter amount of time than I would like. Difficult moment #2.

I'm almost glad that I got a preview. It serves as an awesome reminder to not take time together for granted. I am glad for today.

Open up my email: From Mother Dearest:

No matter what his other accomplishments, Tiger Woods will be remembered for proving once and for all that hearing about other people's sex lives is even less interesting than watching golf on TV, and that's a considerable achievement.

Jessica, Stearns County through & through. I LOVE this girl!!!!!!

Her MaMa :)


I took this pict. just after Jess & Dan got back from fishing on Beaver Lake yesterday afternoon just a hop-skip & a jump away from our house.

Dan just said to me in our morning conversation , " my grandfather fished on that lake 114 years ago.". I think he was more or less talking to himself, but I looked at him and said, "wow" & imagined what the countryside must have looked like 114 years ago.

Since Jess has been on break, she and Dan have caught enough fish on Beaver for two nights of fried fish. Have you ever eaten fish that was alive just an hour before you ate it? Maybe that didn't sound good... but you just can't beat it.

Flash!

Cute.

Woooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I just came home from school and bit everyone's head off. I had to call a few parents and our phone, which has been acting up lately, just quit working in the middle of a conversation.

Uh yeah. I have retreated to the bedroom hoping and praying no one comes in here and gives me a what for.

Yikes!
