Updates for the Week

Wow! It's been a awhile! Last week I spent the first part of the week trying to get things done for Joseph's graduation and the last part of the week waiting to hear of it would end up happening - it didn't! Stinks! Long story! Shame that it was all fine until a few days before the ceremony. His advisor messed up and Bevil, as of today, has still not sent his transcripts to Faulkner, after SEVERAL different times of filling out the SAME paperwork over and over! Oh well...when life deals you lemons, well, you know the line! :)
Last Friday the second grade at Pleasant Grove Elementary went on a very adventurous field trip to Noccalula Falls and the The Museum of Natural History in Anniston and Gadsden. We left PG at 7 am and returned at 4:30 pm. I was lucky enough to be on the charter bus that stalled five times and then died and would not make it up the hill into the museum. Luckily we got that far! We had to unload our bus and get on another one. Our bus had to cool off before it would make it up the hill! When it was time to go our bus was there and never did stall again; however, we lost the luxury of the air conditioner! I really had a nice time and got to visit with my fellow second grade teachers and the parents and grandparents of my students! If Pam could have been so lucky! She went to Atlanta, GA to Six Flags with her 6th graders the same day and her trip makes mine look perfect! Her shabby charter bus (yes-she too was lucky to be on the dud bus- what does this mean about Glenn luck????) blew a tire in Anniston and Pam's bus had to unload on the side of I 20 and get onto an already full bus! Pam had to stand all the way back to Botenfield! Did I mention her bus had duck tape on the floor, she never did figure out what the duck tape was actually holding together! Scary!
Saturday Jared and I had a nice day together. We ate lunch at Red Lobster, went to a matinee to see SpiderMan3, did a little shopping at the Galleria, and then had dinner at Johnny Rockets. Oh yeah! That morning Pam, Chris, and Katie Ward came over (Katie had never seen where we lived) and played a little pool and sang Kareoke. None of us can really sing! Sunday we ate lunch at Shanghai with Kevin and Gayla and Cassie Bradford and then they spent the afternoon at our house. It was good to see them.
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at school. Tuesday our PTA arranged for every employee at PG EL to have an hour long lunch off campus. We were picked up in shifts in front of the school in a Hummer stretch limo! We were given a short joy ride around PG and then to a church fellowship building for a steak lunch. Then when we were finished we rode back to school in the Hummer limo. Today the PTA also gave us all Wal-Mart gift cards! I feel so blessed! I have also received several nice gifts from students.
Tomorrow night a bunch of us will meet and price and load yard sale items for the yard sale our church is sponsoring. ALL proceeds go to Indina Creek Youth Camp. It's a great opportunity for us all to swap junk and give to the camp we all love! The yard sale is on hwy 269 next to the Crazy Bill's fire works stand across from AJ"S quick stop in Minor. Come check it out! It starts at 7 am, Saturday, May 12.
