I just wish it wasn't under these circumstances that my parents' church made the news. I am really proud of my dad and the rest of the congregation, though, for saying, "We're Christian. We will forgive them." What a witness. :)

Self-preservation
Sometimes tough decisions have to be made in order to keep yourself healthy, or sane, (or even alive) that impact other people. It doesn't mean you love anyone less. It just means you've recognized the importance of loving yourself, too.
That's where I'm at.
And that's a sentence ending with a preposition.

Oh, the inhumanities!
For those of you who have read this blog since it was a little girl, you will remember a post last year about my worst.day.ever subbing. The one where I couldn't talk about it because of an ongoing investigation? Yeah...
Well now that that's all over (and it is, and I'm fine) I decided I could take a chance and sub in the district again. That's right, it's April and today was only my second time this school year to sub in this most special of all districts.
Well praise the Lord... because today was night and day compared to October.
I knew today would be different from the minute I walked into the school. The sub coordinator was super nice. She had a binder ready for me with all the information a sub could need - roll sheets, maps of the school, extensions, bell schedules, etc. - then she tells me that Fridays are donut days. Um, heck yes!
Today I subbed for a Facebook friend (that's right) who teaches AP English and Humanities. Are you kidding me? The gifted kids? YESSSSSS.
The day went off without a hitch. I even landed a job for next week with his co-teacher. So this just goes to show that sometimes the first impressions don't tell the whole story. Kinda like this post.
The real reason I'm posting is to share this special part of my day:
Me: "Wow. You did so well Photoshopping that picture! You should be a graphic designer!"
Smart Kid: "I don't want to be a graphic designer."
Me: "Why not?"
Smart Kid: "Because graphic design is boring!"
Me: "Thanks. That's what I did for 7 years before becoming a teacher. So what do you want to be?"
Smart Kid: "A scientist."
Oh yeah... I guess science is important, too.
