Friday Night Lights

Last night we went to the high school football game (Zac plays trumpet). The game was against the school where I graduated from. I was hoping to see some old friends but I didn't. I saw a few folks but it was people that I run in to at Wal-mart. To tell the truth, I was hoping to get a glance at some old boyfriends just to see what they look like now.

Oh, this is really weird. Yesterday, I was at a workshop downtown. It had about 24 women-teachers from various schools--Bham City, Tussville, JeffCo, etc. The instructor was mingling before it started and when she got to my table, she looked at me and said, "I think I know you." I tried to quickly figure out from where, but I just didn't recognize her. I thought maybe it was through DAvid since he knows so many people. Anyway, turns out she was a 4th grade teacher when I was in 4th grade....But,,not my teacher!!! How could she remember me as a 9 yr old??? (I was the quiet type) and she only taught there a couple of years and then moved on to another school for the last 30 or so years!! I must look like I did at 9. Wonder what I will look like at 99?

Does she or doesn't she??

I have been regularly coloring my hair for about 10 years. It started out bec. I wanted to try out different shades. In the fall, I usually go a little darker and in the spring, a little lighter. I have decided to find out what my natural color will be. It has been about 1 1/2 months since I used. I am finding that there are more grays than before. I always said that I would never let my grays show until I got really old. I am going to stick with this just to find out the truth.

Maybe I am getting more grays bec. of the stress at work. It is awful. Every day I want to pack up my stuff and leave. I am not cut out for this kind of job. I have now crossed over and am hanging in there for the pay check. Well, not really, bec. if that was the case, I wouldn't be worrying if they were learning or not. I could be like some other teachers and give easy work so that they would all make A's and B's. Parents would be happy. I am just not like that. I am a glutten for punishment.
