... two weeks after the flood, another day with the temperature at 104 degrees (106 if you were five streets away), and I ended my first official day back to work with notification that the pre-schooler's day care was on fire.
I can run with flip flops. Fast. I can drive semi-sanely even when my heart is racing. I can keep a smile on my face while reassuring a disappointed boy that we'd have ice cream at home even though I was ruining his day by *not letting him go for a ride on the evacuation bus*.
It's time for ~normalcy~ to return, thank you very much, so I'll be taking the camera back into the classroom with me tomorrow so I can show you how things are looking.
Desks. Objectives. Bulletin boards.
After I spend extra cuddle time on the couch with the family tonight.
Good gracious! I am amazed by how calm you seem about all of this. Hug those kids!
ReplyDeleteKids say the silliest things, not riding the evacuation bus would have been a HUGE letdown for mine too! AFter this summer, I bet a classroom full of 5 year-olds seems like a walk in the park!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have had quite a year Michaele!
Oh Dear...we will be thinking about you and sending *another* extra prayer your way today.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your son is safe. What was the outcome for the day care? How are they doing?
Thank you so much! I am pleased to report I had a rather subdued day today. T-H-A-N-K G-O-O-D-N-E-S-S!
ReplyDeleteThe day care was open today as there had been only minimal smoke damage downstairs, apparently from a cooling unit of all things!
You live quite an adventurous life!
