New Prez, Completed Science Project

Hello, B.

What a great day it was! While I was prevented from crying, for the most part, by the fact that I was watching the whole thing in a room that might as well have been a daycare center, I did choke up and even stand when it was time to stand. (I'm weird that way; I stand in my classroom, even if I'm alone, and say the Pledge.) In the end, I saw the replays all day long, so was able to hear the speech all the way through, later on. I was so pleased to hear that our Superintendent had sent out a memo last week asking all teachers in the district to please have their televisions on during not only the speech, but the swearing in and the parade as well. He said he hoped that the whole district would take part in this together and engage in dialogue througout the day at all the grade levels. Hello!! (I probably never mentioned how much I love our new Sup, he's awesome!) JJ came home and told me that they had this huge packet/questionnaire they had to fill out as they watched all morning. I was duly impressed...how badly did I want to call T and tell him that his boys would have been far better off watching it at school, actually A) watching it and 2) learning something, instead of crawling all over us. But anyway...like I said, it's all part of my every day life, right?

We stayed up until 10:00 last night working on that GD science project (it graduated from stupid to stupiT to GD) then got up early to finish it this morning. It's done, finally. Between that mess and a weekend's worth of company, my house is a wreck and I don't feel like cleaning it. I thought I'd procrastinate a bit to write. Then I should get busy as I have hula-hooping to do!

It's freezing cold and pea-soup foggy today; no reason to leave the house whatsoever. Just got my iTunes cranked up, since my friend the rocket scientist was here this weekend and fixed it (I haven't had music since Christmas). The holidays are officially over, the guests are gone, the science project is turned in and I have nowhere I have to be today... * contented sigh *

Hope you're having the same kind of day!
Love, A
