Screaming baby upstairs. Ready to go to Dr.

She's getting shots today. Don't know why she's screaming now. :)

Just a quick thought.

2nd graders are both the different and the SAME as 8th graders.

Here's some pics of our new addition to the family. His name is Professor Severus Snape. I am going to call him Professor, I think. Nathan tends to call him Snape. He is so cute. He appears to be really happy in his new home. He didn't move all that much yesterday, but I think he was stressed out from the move. :)

Yesterday was a perfect day. We  took the 12:15 to Chicago to see Wicked. IT WAS AWESOME! The only other play that I have seen that has even come close to this one was Lion King. It was Nathan's first play in Chicago. He was very impressed with the theater. He surprised me with tickets and once I saw where the seats were I was concerned. We were ( Read more... )

This has serious potential of sounding callous and rude. I felt really bad for the kids yesterday. I still feel bad that they have to grieve over a friend this early in life, but it was gang activity. The kid that was shot (D'Angelo) went to a gas station with a gun to wait for someone to kill him. He was a murderer. He was a murderer who got shot ( Read more... )

What a day. I have never seen anything like it. Last night a student from our school was shot and killed in Gary over what appears either gang activity or a drug deal. This student was expelled in the fall, but knew many of our kids, was friends with them and dated quite a few of the girls. They kids found out about 9am this morning and about 25 ( Read more... )
