and one more.... because I obesess!
Both of these photos as seen through my viewfinder... untouched here. My, what a difference reading the camera manual makes... funny that! Go figure!
Yesterday at work I saw 49 "sick" kids. I use that word lightly, as they were all suffering from weekend-itis. Noone had a temperature, but they all had headaches and stomach aches and wanted to call mommy to go home.... and the mothers all agreed. I must have sent home at least 8 or 9 of them. I think word got out that there was a sub in the nurese's office because after lunch I had a surge of nonsense kids coming in looking for a place to lie down for an afternoon nap. Bah, with only 1 cot, everyone had to just sit and then there was the overflow into the hallway outside my office. And in this day and age of political correctness and law suits, you have to let them phone their parents and take everything seriously. Gah, they all needed a swift kick in the behind and to be sent back to class. Let's see, I wonder if you might be missing PE right now.... you are, well, what a surprise..... For those unlucky kids whose parents were at work and couldn't go home, I gave them the required 15 min rest, then booted them out. I'm such a sympathetic soul, eh?! ;) I even had one brazen girl who just cut to the chase and told her mom she was too tired to stay in school.... and her mom even came to pick her up.... aack! Eiy yi yi. Kids today!
Later that evening I found out Kurt was working late and wouldn't be joining us for dinner on the deck... sigh. Ah well, the kids and I had an enjoyable dinner and play.
Some snippets of conversation yesterday while little cee and I were swinging on the swings.... "c'mon mom, if you swing you'll get rid of all that blubber and then your hips wont hurt on these swings....." or,
"well, you don't really look like a kid, ..... but, inside you're a kid...."
Fun times, fun times!
