Peep War Day












Well, I have survived two working days this week. I think I can make it to another Friday. And I am looking forward to it because it is Burger Friday(to celebrate payday). We usually get together on payday to celebrate and we usually go to Red Robin. Man, I love that place. Their fry sauce is to die for. My favorite is the Bleu Ribbon Burger.

Tonight, my roommates and I had our annual Peep War. This is where you arm some Easter Peeps and put them in the microwave. As they heat up, they get bigger and the swords(in this case the prongs of a plastic fork) get closer to one another. The peep that actually gets their sword into the other peep wins. See pictures. The best part about the peep war is the eating of the melted peep. There is a pic of me enjoying that part too.

Today went well at work. My kids were good for the most part. I did have to remind my girls PE class to only be nice to each other and that I will not tolerate bickering and belittling. They tend to have this weird split in the class. It is usually Latina girls against the Caucasian girls. It is very weird to me. I wish they could learn to get along and be the generation that stops this racism crap. Don't even get me started on that. I would have a very long blog.

I really do love my students. They make me laugh and really make the day go by fast. One of my students had to leave suddenly today and is going to Mexico. I asked him if something had happened in his family and he nodded and couldn't speak. I almost made me go to tears. My heart really goes out to these kids. I love them.

All I wanted to do tonight was watch TV. It has gotten chilly again here and that is what I do when it is cold. Mary Beth and I did go for a walk and for the first five minutes I thought I was going to freeze to death. I guess we have been a little spoiled with good weather and this cold week is just payback. Oh the joys of spring.

I better get off to bed. Celebrate Poetry Month. Read some good Poetry and for you creative ones...write some! I am trying to do some of both of those things. I love the Poetry. Have a great day or night(whatever you are facing!)

Later,
