My Journey
I Can Almost Relax Now
Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005 @ 11:07 p.m.

My pastor's wife came into my classroom before school this morning and told me that her husband had gotten "it" in the mail and would be filling "it" out and mailing "it" today. There were a bunch of kids in my room, not by my desk thankfully. Since I didn't want them overhearing anything, I didn't give her many details. I told her that "she" might be calling her husband this week so "she" could get "it" written before her supervisor leaves this weekend. It's amazing the things you can talk about when your pronouns are understood.

My principal/friend is having a laparoscopy on Wednesday. She's trying to see if she can hide the fact that she's having surgery from the secretary and her students. I remember dealing with that a year ago. I'm so glad it's not me this time!
