if you're going to spew...

i was feeling sick when I got up yesterday. i had a headache and felt nauseated but i decided to suck it up and get ready for work. i skipped breakfast, which later proved to be a wise choice and started my thirty minute commute to school (i'm an 8th grade teacher.) about halfway to school i felt like i was going to throw up so i pulled over but the feeling passed so started driving again. at a traffic light i felt it again so i grabbed the closest thing to a container i could find, the coin/cash sorter-drawer thingy out of a cash box. let me start by saying that there was no money in the box. it belongs to an organization on campus of which i am an advisor. and while, luckily there was no cash in it because we are required to make frequent deposits...there were some receipts and miscellaneous papers in the box.

i got about a minute from school and i couldn't hold it any longer.

i don't think the business office will require this deposit.

so now i'm home and i finally have time to blog, and i just thought i'd share that 1) because it is a perfect example of some of the ridiculous messes i get myself into and 2) so that we can all learn from it...garth from wayne's world had it right carrying around a little spew container around with him just in case.

talking stories and making them too.

it's been a while since i've posted anything. my family ended the year on a few sad notes. we lost my grandfather, my father in law, an aunt and my best friend's grandmother in the span of one month. it was a very sad way to end the year, and it is still sad but the fog seems to be lifting. i feel so lucky to have known these people, felt their love and had the chance to learn from them. i am sad that my two year old son will probably not remember them and how much they loved him, especially his tata (grandfather) with whom he was the closest.

sigh.

life goes on right? right. all we can do is tell their stories and continue to make our own stories for others to tell about us.
