Missing Home

It's just not what I thought. In a hotel room by myself again tonight. I miss my husband. I miss my kids. I miss my bed. I'm ready for the traveling to end and the summer to begin.

Brain Tumor

It was the Monday after Thanksgiving two years ago.   I was sitting at my desk at school.   The students had just been dismissed and left the building, thank the Lord!      I was exhausted and so happy the day was over.   The days leading up to a school break and after the break are crazy.   Right now I’m looking out my window watching the wind scatter leaves all over the backyard.   It reminds me of what it’s like after a school break, teachers chasing kids all over the classroom.    Just when you think, you have some of the kids settling down to start a lesson, here comes another gust of wind and it starts all over again. Don’t get me wrong, teachers enjoy the breaks, but they do pay a high price for them too. So I’m at my desk and my phone rings.   It was the neurologist. It was the weirdest conversation. He asked, “Is this Michele?”   I said, “Yes.”   He asked me where I was. I answered at school in my classroo...

Tutoring Moments

There's been so many blogable moments at home and work lately. Right now, I've got an after-school program going in town. There are over 100 students attending at an elementary school. Before Spring Break, I was called to the Kindergarten classroom. Let me just say, God Bless Kindergarten teachers! I don't know how they do it. This student was drawing on the walls and running around the room totally out of control. Once in the hallway, the teacher was giving me all the gory details as he went to his locker, threw everything out, stomped in and shut the door. The teacher said, "Well at least he's contained" and went back into her room. There I am in the hallway, 10 minutes before tutoring is over, trying to coax a stubborn 5 year old from his locker. Knowing he had the upper hand, he refused to budge from his locker and wasn't scared to tell me in so many Kindergarten words! I called his mama and held the phone to his ear. I couldn't believe it. The onl...

HI, HO, HI, HO... OFF TO THE MALL WE GO!

Okay, I just have to write about yesterday's exciting trip to the mall. Sunday morning, I actually went to church, and believe me that's totally amazing in itself but even bigger is my hubby volunteered to go with us. Did I say volunteered, wow. We had a good time, I saw all the girls from Thursday night (Girls Night Out at the Honky Tonk), kids had a ball with the best Sunday School Teacher ever (she's a pretty good line dancer too) It was great! We went to Fudrucker's afterwards, I love their burgers and fries. It doesn't get much better than this And then the clouds moved in as a sign of things to come. We went to the mall, I need to replace holy panties and lumpy bras, but there's a problem I hate shopping for them. I don't know why, I always have hated it. Hubby wants to go to Victoria Secret, did I mention those stores make me uncomfortable. So, we are enjoying all the stores heading towards Victoria Secret, my favorite being the one with the ma...
